Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Air Jordan 4 “Comic” will be released sometime on July 25th, 2026.

Jordan Brand has spent years revisiting classic colorways and storytelling, so seeing a Jordan 4 take on a comic-inspired look feels like a welcome change of pace.

The Jordan 4 remains one of the brand’s strongest silhouettes, both culturally and commercially. Dropping a pair like this shows confidence that the model can carry bold ideas without relying on history alone.

The “Comic” doesn’t feel like a remix of the past. It feels like Jordan Brand is experimenting again, which is something longtime fans have been asking for. Now that a release date is locked in, the conversation shifts.

That matters with a concept-driven sneaker like this. The Air Jordan 4 “Comic” isn’t trying to replace a classic. Whether it becomes a sleeper hit or a polarizing drop, it already accomplished one thing. It got people talking without leaning on nostalgia.

That alone makes it one of the more interesting Jordan 4 releases on the calendar.

The Air Jordan 4 “Comic” features a clean white upper paired with soft grey suede panels across the toe. Black accents frame the midfoot cage and heel, giving the shoe contrast and structure.

Bright purple eyelets pop against the neutral base and add a playful edge. The mesh panels show a subtle gradient that hints at the comic theme.

A cream midsole blends into a visible Air unit for balance. The heel branding steals attention with bold comic-style Nike Air graphics. Light pink and lavender tones finish the outsole.

Overall, the sneaker feels expressive without being overwhelming. It looks fun, wearable, and intentionally different from traditional Jordan 4s. Also, the sneakers will have a retail price of $220 when they are released.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 4 “Dark Mocha” is going to be released on December 23rd, 2025. The pair will be getting a SNKRS release!

Instead of loud colors or forced callbacks, this release leans into mood and texture. The “Dark Mocha” palette fits the brand’s philosophy perfectly, offering something grounded, wearable, and quietly elevated.

This collaboration also lands at an interesting moment for the Air Jordan 4. The silhouette has been everywhere lately, but pairs like this remind people why it still matters. A Ma Maniere doesn’t treat the Jordan 4 as a blank canvas. They treat it like an heirloom.

The details are considered, from the muted tones to the material choices that prioritize depth over contrast. It feels more like a long-term piece than a trend-driven release.

A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 4 “Dark Mocha” Details

The shoe is built around a rich brown suede that immediately feels soft and substantial. Muted mocha tones dominate the upper without feeling flat or dull.

Burgundy quilted lining adds depth and a sense of luxury inside the collar. The mesh panels appear darker and more refined than standard Jordan 4 releases. Subtle purple accents on the eyelets add contrast without overpowering the design.

A slightly aged midsole gives the shoe a worn-in feel straight out of the box. Deep red hits on the outsole ground the color palette nicely. Nike Air branding on the heel keeps things classic. Everything feels intentional and calm. It looks like a sneaker designed to be worn, not displayed.

A Ma Maniere x Jordan 4 Price

With the SNKRS drop coming fast, anticipation is building for a shoe that doesn’t scream for attention but earns it anyway. That approach has always been A Ma Maniere’s strength.

This isn’t about resale spikes or shock value. It’s about refinement and consistency. If past collaborations are any indication, this release will age well, both on foot and in the broader Jordan conversation. Also, the A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 4 “Dark Mocha” will be $225 when they release on December 23rd.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Swarovski x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Vast Grey” will be released in the spring of 2026.

Jordan Brand and Swarovski are clearly leaning into luxury, spectacle, and shock value rather than everyday wearability. The classic Air Jordan 1 silhouette remains intact, but nearly every visible panel is covered in crystal detailing. It immediately changes how the shoe feels, even from a distance.

This collaboration arrives at a moment when sneaker culture continues to blur lines between fashion, jewelry, and footwear. The “Vast Grey” colorway acts as a neutral base, allowing the Swarovski crystals to do all the talking.

Nothing about this shoe is understated. It is designed to catch light, attention, and conversation the moment it enters a room. That approach comes at a cost, literally.

Swarovski x Air Jordan 1 High OG

The shoe appears fully wrapped in shimmering grey crystals that reflect light from every angle. Each panel looks textured, layered, and intentionally dense.

Also the Swoosh blends into the upper rather than standing apart. The toe box sparkles heavily without feeling chaotic. The ankle collar and heel carry the same crystal treatment for consistency. White laces add contrast and keep the look grounded.

Further the midsole stays clean and simple, letting the upper remain the focal point. Also even off-foot, the shoe feels heavy with presence. It looks more like wearable art than a traditional sneaker.

Swarovski x Air Jordan 1 High OG Retail Price

This is not a pair meant for casual rotation or daily wear. Instead, it feels closer to a display piece or a fashion statement reserved for special moments. Jordan Brand has experimented with premium materials before, but this takes things to another level.

The Swarovski x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Vast Grey” will likely divide opinions. Some will see it as excessive. Others will view it as a bold evolution of the Air Jordan legacy.

Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $1,005 when they release. A steep price, but understandable given the luxury features of this sneaker.

However, the big draw to these streams is that the 6ix God will be giving away 10 percent of his Stake winnings to one lucky fan. He explained as much in his caption, although he also admitted to not being on the hottest of streaks right now.

“Can we end my roughest gambling year on a good note??” Drizzy wrote. “I want to MAXWIN and share 10% of it with you. Go to @stake to find out how you can enter to win that pot. 3 streams BACK 2 BACK 2 BACK this SUNDAY MONDAY AND TUESDAY.”

Of course, he plays big, so even a small payout for him could be genuinely life-changing for most other people. We’ll soon see how they go…

“The Drake Curse”

Unfortunately, Drake’s gambling luck is running dry these days. He recently bet $200K on underdog Jake Paul to defeat Anthony Joshua in a boxing match, which would’ve netted him $1.64 million if Paul emerged victorious. But that wasn’t the case. The “Drake curse” struck again.

Still, for someone like the Toronto superstar who has too much cash to burn, it’s about the love of the game over results. Yet for fans tuning into these streams, they likely hope that he’ll have better chances before the year is out.

Elsewhere, Drake is confusing some of his staunchest fans. He recently dropped some ice cube emojis under Timothee Chalamet’s remix of the EsDeeKid track “4 Raws,” following viral rumors that they’re the same person. Given Timothée’s interview with Kendrick Lamar before the Super Bowl – plus what he’s said about the battle – many hardcore OVO supporters questioned this apparent cosign.

Maybe they’re just misreading the intent behind those ice blocks. If The Boy lands some big bets for these streams and plays his cards and guesses well, he’ll have a very profitable path leading up to the ICEMAN album.

“Rocky I know you’re probably seeing this,” the die-hard titled his post. “You been mad active and i know u might see this… you needa really really ramp up the album promo… i would have the preorders before the album but i guess that’s not possible so whatever. I think you should hand deliver some merch yourself and really outdo yourself with marketing… One last thing, please put the ‘helicopter’ snippet on the album with carti. also, if u do hand deliver some stuff, hmu i’ll definitely buy a CD.”

“BET,” Rocky reportedly responded, along with a fire emoji. Of course, it’s impossible to know for sure if this applies to all of these suggestions or some of them. Still, it hasn’t made fans any less excited, save for those who already gave up on Don’t Be Dumb‘s rollout.

When Is The New ASAP Rocky Album Coming Out?

A$AP Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb comes out soon, on January 16 of next year. 2026 will finally be the year where we get the follow-up to 2018’s TESTING, which remains one of the Harlem creative’s most divisive projects. We’ll see if this new one ends up being similarly conversation-starting. Either way, with a Saturday Night Live slot and surely much more coming up, it’s heartening to see him finally bring this to life.

Elsewhere, ASAP Rocky and Playboi Carti are still tight. The former recently popped out at the latter’s Los Angeles tour stop earlier this year. Will we finally get another collab, of which they only have a few from the previous decade? We will just have to wait and see what’s up…

However, the Trinidadian superstar faced an awkward moment when she referred to U.S. Vice President JD Vance as an “assassin” in front of Erika. Her husband Charlie was fatally shot at a debate event earlier this year. But the new Turning Point USA leader took the accidental slip-up in stride.

“You have amazing role models like the assassin JD Vance, our vice president. And when I say that… Mm…” Nicki remarked, as caught by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram. She paused and winced when she took note of her words.

“Trust me, there’s nothing new under the sun that I have not heard, so you’re fine,” Erika Kirk remarked. “You have to laugh about it, truly. I have been called every single thing. And you know what? God is so good, you let it roll right off your back. This is what’s so beautiful about this moment. If the Internet wants to clip it, who cares? I love this woman. She is an amazing woman. She has a soul and a heart for the Lord. Words are words. But I know her heart. It doesn’t even matter. You say what you want to say because I know your heart. And I will not judge that.”

Nicki Minaj’s Erika Kirk Conversation

This moment with Erika Kirk followed more Nicki Minaj shots against Gavin Newsom, the Democratic governor of California. She’s been beefing with him for allegedly not helping her with her swatting incidents in the state, and his social media team has fired back with some shade.

Elsewhere, Nicki Minaj’s support of Donald Trump also came up during this conversation with Erika Kirk. “He’s given so many people hope that there’s a chance to beat the bad guys and to win,” she posited. “And to do it with your head held high and your integrity intact. He’s from Queens, New York, like me. But what it’s shown me personally is, sometimes, even in the worst-feeling times in your life, you think that you’re never going to come back from it. But you do. Our president shows that.”

According to the publication, WHTTS? debuted at No. 3 on the chart behind Taylor Swift’s The Life Of A Showgirl at No. 1 and Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem at No. 2. Savage’s new LP sold 73K album-equivalent units, which is somewhere in between initial projections and the latest ones. 48K of those are streaming units (almost 66 million streams across the tracklist) and 25K are in pure album sales, with track-equivalent units providing a negligible sum. It’s the Atlanta MC’s seventh Billboard 200 top five placement.

According to Kurrco, Billboard filtered about 37K units in pure album sales from its final tally, for reasons unknown. While some fans launched botting allegations, there were also various projected numbers floating around. As such, take everything with a grain of salt.

21 Savage’s WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS?

All that said, we doubt the Savage Mode spitter is worrying too much about the specifics of numbers when it comes to his public movement. Instead, 21 Savage is leading “f**k the streets” messages across hip-hop, tagging peers like Young Thug, Future, Quavo, Offset, Meek Mill, G Herbo, and more along for the ride.

This all seems to be an effort to promote more unity in Atlanta rap and beyond, given their turbulent past few years. But some fans think this whole thing actually does represent a desire to boost sales for the album. Whether you believe that or not, the negative reception is manifesting in other ways.

Many other MCs don’t agree with 21 Savage. Folks like 6ix9ine, Blueface, Lil Zay Osama, BossMan Dlow, and more have pushed back against these messages, calling them hypocritical, disingenuous, or disrespectful.

Sadly, there’s almost an equally divisive debate around first week sales numbers these days, no matter who folks are talking about. Hopefully the final debut means that they can move on to other conversations and discussions.

With all this in mind, we will see how the legacy of WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS? continues to evolve.

For those unaware, Erika is the widow of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who was killed during a debate event last September. She later took over her late husband’s Turning Point USA non-profit as its CEO. During Minaj’s conversation with her, the femcee answered a question about the in-house backlash she’s receiving for her Trump support and for her general political leanings these days.

“I didn’t notice,” Nicki responded, as caught by Kurrco on Twitter. “Bingo. We don’t even think about them. We’re the cool kids. The other people, they’re the ones who are still just disgruntled. But really, they’re just disgruntled with themselves. They are angry with themselves, you guys. So you can’t wake up and think about somebody who is determined to just stay mad. I literally tell them, ‘Stay mad.’ ‘Cause we’re going to stay joyful and peaceful and iconic and smart. And we’re going to stay thinkers in a world that doesn’t want us to think. We will think. By ourselves, on our own. We will continue to think.”

In addition, Nicki Minaj spoke on Donald Trump and why she supports him in the White House. “I have the utmost respect and admiration for our president,” she expressed, as caught by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram. “He’s given so many people hope that there’s a chance to beat the bad guys and to win. And to do it with your head held high and your integrity intact. He’s from Queens, New York, like me. But what it’s shown me personally is, sometimes, even in the worst-feeling times in your life, you think that you’re never going to come back from it. But you do. Our president shows that.”

Nicki Minaj has addressed this backlash before. It seems like she’s still doubling down on her stances.

According to Kurrco on Twitter, an upwards spike direct-to-consumer digital downloads is what mainly drove the new LP’s commercial performance over the past two days. Apparently, projections went as high as 110K units, although the final projected number sits at around 93K. What’s curious about this development is the absence of digital copies up for sale on Savage’s storefront. Rather, the surge may come from the even.biz platform that 21 had previously promoted on his Instagram Story.

At the end of the day, these numbers show that you always need to take these things with a grain of salt, even once the final tally rolls in soon. This has led to a lot of conspiracy theories about alleged botting and commercial manipulation, but all of them are unfounded at press time. In any case, there’s certainly a lot of conversation to have around this rollout.

21 Savage’s WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS?

In other news, the Atlanta MC’s 2018 project i am > i was is celebrating its seventh anniversary today (Sunday, December 21). With big songs like “a lot” featuring J. Cole and “monster” with Childish Gambino, the album also sold 131K units in its first week.

Despite the nostalgia for that project and for his career as a whole, 21 Savage is moving forward concerning “the streets.” His calls for unity got support from Thugger, YFN Lucci, Meek Mill, and many more in the game. Also, 21 eased up tensions between himself and Future, as well as issues between Quavo and Offset.

Even though 21 Savage has many detractors in this regard, the more important conversation is about the music. Still, with these new numbers details, we will see just where WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS? lands commercially soon. Hopefully the end of that conversation can open the door for an honest discussion of artistry with all this context in mind.

Quotable Lyrics from Cappuccino

Told the story, but you just had to go and twist it, thought I would miss it,
You threw a bottle water and didn’t think that I would risk it,
I ought to take it there but I’m not gon’ act like this scriptеd,
Just here to tell thе truth so the fans can’t get conflicted,
No hands was put on nobody even though I attempted,
I don’t know if this is you, Fat Joe, or the Ozempic
