Cade Cunningham’s “Detroit Tough” series is adding another Nike S.T. Charge to the rotation.

First previewed by Sneaker News during NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles earlier this year, the latest Player Exclusive dresses Nike’s rugged basketball silhouette in a combination that appears tailor-made for the Detroit Pistons. Icy blue dominates the shoe, complemented by red accents and a chrome Metallic Silver Swoosh that brings some extra flash to the court.

As with previous “Detroit Tough” releases, Cunningham’s personal touches separate the PE from standard S.T. Charge colorways; his number 2 appears prominently at the heel, while his star-shaped logo lands on the tongue. These two details are expected to be standard on Cade Cunningham shoes, both PE and in his upcoming sig model.

The S.T. Charge has effectively become Cunningham’s unofficial signature sneaker throughout 2026, with Nike releasing multiple “Detroit Tough” PEs tied to the Pistons star. Previous editions have retailed for $140, while Nike has increasingly used the silhouette to build Cunningham’s individual footwear identity.

Consider all of this an appetizer for what’s coming next. Signature Cade Cunningham shoes are expected to drop in 2027, making these personalized S.T. Charge releases an early glimpse at the athlete-specific storytelling likely to follow.

The latest Nike S.T. Charge “Detroit Tough” is expected to release in Fall 2026 for $140.
