2026 saw the launch of the Asics Gel-NYC 2.0. This model adopts the upper of the Gel-1050, but incorporates a modernized tooling that provides incredible comfort. I’ve heard so many good things about it but never got around to picking up a pair – until now. Tune into the review and let me know if you’re a fan of this silhouette!

NikeCraft x Tom Sachs General Purpose Shoe “Participation” Review

Back in the summer of 2025, the NikeCraft x ISRU app gave users the opportunity to take part in their “summer camp” to earn points, which were eventually used as the criteria for access to the Mars Yard 3.0 release. Those who missed out on those shoes were given the ability to pre-order this special colourway of the General Purpose Shoe, and I finally got them in hand this week. Watch my review for a complete break down and to see these on feet!

CNCPTS x New Balance 990 V4 “Patina” Review

Concepts’ latest project with New Balance is a banger. The 990 V4 “Patina” draws inspiration from the idea of antiques, and heirlooms being passed down, and how things get better with age. This pair features great quality suede, and a colour palette that is elegant and beautiful. Watch my review as I cover all you need to know. I don’t think this is a pair you’d want to pass on.

Every Now and Then x New Balance 992 “Westbound” Review

Joe Freshgoods returns with a New Balance collaboration with his offshoot Every Now and Then retailer / community hub. This take on the 992 model is one of the year’s best, with a mint green suede paired with a gum rubber outsole. I’m stoked to have been able to grab these off their website directly, and hope to cover all the details you need to know in my vid!

Air Jordan 3 Retro “True Blue” (2026) Review

It’s 1988 all over again. The “True Blue” 3, one of the model’s first colourways to release, is back for the first time after the last retro from a decade ago. This year’s version is crafted with solid materials, improved shape, with a true-to-OG design. Tune into the video for an in-depth breakdown of the shoe, before they drop worldwide tomorrow, July 18th!

Saucony Progrid Ride 1 “Buttercup” Review

Saucony dipped into their archives once again, bringing back the 2008 model, the Progrid Ride 1. This pair was a neutral running shoe back in the day but nowadays, it’s being reintroduced as a lifestyle model. A lightweight mesh upper is paired with Progrid and SRC foam for exceptional comfort. Tune into the video to learn all you’d need to know! Thanks Saucony Canada for hooking me up with these!

Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble “7-Eleven” Review

These shoes got Nike sued! The “7-Eleven” Air Max 95, though not an official collab with the convenience store chain, shares obvious similarities – most notably the use of the iconic three colours of red, green and orange. Once slated for a 7/11 release date, Nike was hit with a lawsuit which has seemingly caused the shoes’ release to be put on hold. Tune into my review as I managed to grab an early pair, to see all the details and how they are on feet!

JJJJound x New Balance 1890 “White / Silver” Review

Another month, another New Balance 1890 release. This time, the brand linked up with JJJJound to release two minimalistic takes on the new and popular lifestyle model. Today I’m reviewing the “White / Silver” pair, which is inspired by American collegiate campus athletics. Tap into the video for an in-depth look at this collab!

Kith x New Balance 2011 “Green Leaf” Review

Kith celebrates their 15th anniversary by joining up with New Balance to drop a brand new model – the 2011. This pair was part of a launch collection of four colourways, designed by Ronnie Fieg and NB’s Sam Pearce. It’s built using a mix of premium suedes and nubucks, and is covered in various green shades – a perfect tie in to the launch campaign centered around Kith’s growth over the last fifteen years.
