Pistons' Cade Cunningham's New Sneaker Gets an Official Release Date

There are few bigger names in Detroit sports these days than Cade Cunningham.

The Detroit Pistons point guard has helped make this "Bad Boys" franchise competitive again, and he took the team all the way to the Eastern Conference Semifinals last season.

Now, Cunningham and the Pistons have their eyes on upsetting the New York Knicks and taking their crown next season.

In the meantime, Nike is releasing another special edition sneaker inspired by Cunningham.

Nike prepping Cade Cunningham 'Rugged' sneaker The Nike S.T.

Charge Cade Cunningham "Rugged" will arrive on Aug.

1, 2026, according to research from Sneaker News.

The shoe features a tan, or khaki, mesh upper with a durable protective layer over parts of it.

It also has the Pistons' famed blue accents and orange Nike logos.

The shoe features Cunningham's No.

2 on the heel, of course.

This sneaker marks the third and final Cade ST Charge colorway being released this summer.

The shoe is expected to run $140 through Nike and select retailers.

Cunningham's Nike S.T.

Charge "Detroit Tough" PE EP arrived earlier this summer and is already sold out.

That shoe was made with outdoor courts in mind, because anyone who knows Detroit knows that the Motor City likes to play basketball outside in the summer.

"Cade Cunningham can hoop in any climate, on any courtwhich makes him ideal for the S.T.

Charge," Nike said of the shoe in a statement.

"His player edition is layered with Detroit lore and comes equipped with 313 street-ready speed and comfort thanks to a thick forefoot Air Zoom unit and a Cushlon 3.0 drop-in midsole." So, considering that sneaker sold out so quickly, don't be surprised if history repeats itself with Cunningham's upcoming release.
