Kith recently restocked this special colourway of the Asics Gel-1130, “Cream / Starlight Blue”. This summer-ready shoe features a lightweight mesh upper, with synthetic overlays in silver and light blue. Though the Kith branding is at a minimum, it still stands out for its wearability. Who else picked these up, or were these a pass for you?
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!
Thanks to StockX for hooking me up with one of the New Balance 1906R collabs I missed out on last year! This pair is a project with Australian sneaker boutique, Up There, who dropped this silver-based colourway with cream and green coloured accents this past November. Check out my review and drop a comment to share how you feel about these!
Following a pre-order offered last July, Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance’s latest 860 V2 collaboration finally began landing in consumers’ hands earlier this month. This three-shoe pack included the pair I’m reviewing today, which is covered in a neon yellow mesh with silver synthetic overlays – definitely a head turner. Check out my review and let me know if you’re feeling these!
Bringing back the Nike Lunar Foam from 2008, the Lunar Roam is a brand new silhouette which dropped at the end of 2023 – 15 years later. This lifestyle model features an engineered mesh upper, fuse overlays, and a thick, well cushioned midsole for all day comfort. Check out my review to learn all you need to know about this new model!
Releasing just before the end of 2023, Nike released these women’s Dunk Lows, unofficially inspired by the iconic Air Max 90 “Bacon”. Crafted with elevated materials like tumbled leather and genuine nubucks, these mirror the colours of the famous Air Max 90 in a mix of sail, sport red, pink and brown. Check out my review to get a closer look and to see how they are on feet!
Last year, Ronnie Fieg worked with Adidas Originals and Clarks to design and release the 8th Street Samba – a unique twist on this classic Adidas shoe. To close out the year, they released two new colourways on Christmas Day, one in White / Black, and the other a Multicoloured pair. Check out my review of both of these and to see how they both look on feet! Which one are you liking more?
I didn’t get a chance to review these before the year ended, but this past December, Joe Freshgoods and New Balance teamed up again to release a three-sneaker pack inspired by the late 90s, drawing colours from the movie “Belly”. Today I’m reviewing the “Intro” colourway, which is crafted using black mesh with white-based suede and synthetic overlays. Check out my review and drop a comment below if you’re feeling them!
Just when you thought my year was over – I’m back with one final video to close out 2023. Nike Basketball released a brand new take on the Kobe 4 Protro, nicknamed “Gift of Mamba”. This premium rendition of the Kobe 4 opts for genuine nubuck and leather construction, in a blacked-out colourway. Check out my detailed review and on feet look to see more!
