To celebrate Bodega’s 15th year anniversary, they collaborated with New Balance to release a Made in USA 990 V3! This pair is crafted using premium suedes in various earthy, olive and khaki tones. It’s accented with grey, blue and orange hits, for a very unique but unassuming look. Check out my review for a closer look, and big thanks to Bodega for sending over this pair to me!
Concepts and Asics recently teamed up to release a Gel-Lyte III inspired by Otoro, which is the premium, fattiest cut of a tuna belly.

Puma Canada sent me a pair of the RS-Connect Lazer, which is a new silhouette that opts for a sleek but chunky look at the same time!
