Joe Freshgoods has linked up with New Balance again, reintroducing the New Balance 1000 to the world. This 1999 running shoe was brought back as part of the “When Things Were Pure” collection consisting of two colourways. The one I’m reviewing today is the “Black Ice” pair, which features an iridescent shiny upper, black mesh and a gum outsole. Did any of you also pick up a pair of these?
Last retroed in 2012, the “Military Blue” Air Jordan 4 returns worldwide on May 4th. This original colourway of the Air Jordan 4 has been brought back two times prior, but this is the first retro to feature Nike Air branding, along with an improved shape that’s meant to look closer to the originals from the 80s. Check out my early review to get a closer look and to see how they are on feet!
The beloved “Venice Beach” Kobe 8 made its return over a decade later, as it released in Protro form earlier this month. Staying relatively true to the original despite being marketed as a Protro, these feature a vibrant mesh upper, a drop in React foam midsole and an icy rubber outsole as well. Watch my review to get my thoughts on these and to see them on feet!
For my latest video I’ll be reviewing this general release colourway of the Nike SB Dunk Low. Landing in skate shops throughout the last few weeks, these feature an upper crafted out of soft nubuck in blue, green and off-white tones. A gum rubber outsole completes the look, and it’s one of my fave GR Dunks to release over the last few months! Check out my video to learn more!
Nike’s annual tradition to pay tribute to the legendary Jackie Robinson continued this year with the release of this limited edition Air Max 1 ’86 OG. Crafted using genuine navy blue coloured leather, along with synthetic overlays of sail and gold touches, these are a premium version of the beloved Air Max 1 model. Watch my review and let me know if this was a cop or a drop for you!
End and Hoka released their “Overland” collection last month, consisting of apparel and two sneakers – one of which I’m reviewing today. The Hoka Mafate Speed 2 is an extremely well cushioned and dynamic sneaker that works for your off-roading adventures. Check out my video for a closer look at this collab and to see how they are on feet. What do you think of these, is this a cop or a drop?
Live Laugh Love! The iconic and infamous tagline is the unofficial source of inspiration behind this brand new general release Nike SB Dunk colourway. A myriad of materials can be found on this pair, including a woven toebox, brushed suede, cracked leather, and more. Check out my detailed review to learn all about this pair and let me know your thoughts down below!
Comme Des Garçons Homme released two colourways of the New Balance 1906R late last year, one of which I’m reviewing today. The “White” colourway features white mesh with genuine leather overlays, contrasted against a solid black midsole and heel cup. Utilizing more premium materials than usual, are these worth the significant price bump? Check out my video and decide for yourselves!
New Balance is dipping into their archives, going back to 1999 to bring back the 1000 silhouette. One of the first general release colourways is this one that I’m reviewing today in “Silver Metallic / Black”. A mesh upper is complimented with bold, silver synthetic leather layers, designed with a dynamic and fluid appearance. Check out my detailed review for all you need to know about this silhouette and to see how they are on feet!
