Capitalizing off of increased heat around the metaverse & Web3, Nike rolled out .SWOOSH towards the end of 2022. The program’s stated intentions were to reimagine how consumers reached product and how the brand interfaced with the community as an extension of that.

2024 has arguably brought the initiative’s biggest moments so far, the one-two punch of the RTFKT Dunk Genesis and “404” Air Force 1 delivering some buzzy moments that captured the ever-shifting attention of sneakerheads. Can they do the same again?

The next step is a sequel to a 2022 release, bringing the tongue-in-cheek “This Is Not A JPEG” subhead back to shelves with the Air Force 1 “TINAJ B.”

The “B” subtitle here seems warranted, as this shoe builds very much off the foundation of the first colorway. Remaining from that pair are the tumbled leather upp and the circular “THIS IS NOT A JPEG” icon on the heel counter. However, the colorful forefoot marks a pretty big divergence from the all-white counterpart we saw last.

Without official word from Nike it’s hard to confirm, but the mixed media on those sections (croc-patterned suede, canvas, leather and heavy fabric all make appearances) reads as an expression of the “glitchy” concept expressed by the Blue Screen of Death insoles.

Barring that, it functions perfectly well as an expression of the procedurally generated artistic aspect of the Our Force 1 project and Nike’s NFT efforts as a whole.

As of writing, concrete release details for the Nike Air Force 1 “TINAJ B” are unclear. The first “TINAJ” edition dropped via SNKRS Exclusive Access, pairs only available to .SWOOSH members who participated in the “Our Force 1” program.

Redoubling those requirements seems likely, but keep our Sneakers page handy for the most current information as it emerges.

Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.
After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.
The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.
While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.
As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.
For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation
This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.
Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.
In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.
Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
