Last year, stolen pairs of the then-unreleased Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” worth more than $200,000 were recovered after allegedly being stolen from a train in California. That headline is just the tip of the iceberg of a heist syndicate targeting Nike sneakers, according to an eye-opening Los Angeles Times story connecting ten thefts over the last year.⁠ ⁠ Ten train burglaries — not robberies because they haven’t involved confrontation — have yielded nine successful hauls of valuable Nike sneakers, including nearly 2,000 pairs of the Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 “Brick by Brick” worth more than $440,000 recovered in January in Arizona. ⁠ ⁠ 🔗: https://footwearnews.com/shoes/sneaker-news/nike-air-jordan-sneaker-train-heists-1234773377/

Following his repeated tirades of antisemitism and hate speech, Kanye West’s once-burgeoning Yeezy brand is all but shuttered at this point. But unfortunately for an alleged serial burglar in Connecticut, the sneakers are apparently still distinctive enough to identify criminals who choose to wear them. 🔗: https://footwearnews.com/shoes/sneaker-news/police-arrest-serial-burglar-yeezy-shoes-1234772528/

Tamara Mellon is feeling nostalgic — and thinking about bringing her Jimmy Choo past back into her present. Mellon, who co-founded the business in 1996 with Mr. Jimmy Choo, is among the players looking to buy the brand from Capri Holdings, according to three sources familiar with the process. While Mellon helped catapult Jimmy Choo and its sky-high heels into the zeitgeist, the business has been struggling lately as casual styles have become more popular. 🔗: https://footwearnews.com/business/mergers-acquisitions/tamara-mellon-aims-to-reacquire-jimmy-choo-1234765437/

There is a lot to digest from this month’s fall/winter 2025 men’s fashion shows in Paris. From Rick Owens’ persistent willingness to push the boundaries of footwear design to Comme des Garçons’ interesting use of proportions and details (seen above), there were plenty of attention-grabbing shoes in Paris this season. Some eye-catching styles came in the form of an otherworldly molded shell, while others played with unexpected elements and accents. At the link in bio, a look at the craziest (in a good way) and most talked-about men’s shoes from the fall ’25 collections in Paris this month. 🔗: https://footwearnews.com/shoes/mens-footwear/craziest-mens-shoes-paris-fashion-week-fall-2025-1234761759/

This month, Christian Louboutin officially added the “Miss Z” shoe style to its offering, which caused many to speculate whether or not the shoe was inspired by Zendaya, who has been a major fan and wearer of Louboutin for years.⁠ ⁠ On TikTok and Instagram, Jules Blum, a Louboutin employee known as “The Louboutin Guy,” said “with inspiration coming from one of our longterm wearers, Zendaya, the new Miss Z is flirty, fabulous and absolutely a statement.” But when asked to confirm, the brand gave a differing response. ⁠ ⁠ 🔗: https://footwearnews.com/shoes/womens-footwear/christian-louboutin-releases-miss-z-pumps-info-1234760805/

Rick Owens unveiled his fall/winter 2025 collection at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris on Thursday, serving up a line filled with showstopping shoes.⁠ ⁠ The shoes that caught everyone’s attention came via multiple pairs of oversized boots that recall the feet of feathered roosters in the wild. Done in collaboration with Parisian designer Victor Clavelly, the boots are made with heavyweight Groppone cow leather. ⁠ ⁠ Pieces of the leather are laser cut and woven together by hand to create a chain linked effect. Clavelly, who specializes in designs that exaggerate the body, then placed the leather in a way to make the pieces appear to flair out towards the bottom of the boot for a feather-like appearance. ⁠ ⁠ 🔗: https://footwearnews.com/shoes/mens-footwear/rick-owens-mens-shoes-fall-2025-paris-fashion-week-1234760747/
