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!
I recently picked up a pair of women’s Dunks, in a cool colour scheme utilizing shaggy suede on the upper. This “Photon Dust / Light Armory Blue” colourway has a simple look to it but has a bit of a worn-in and aged aesthetic to it due to the use of the suede. Check out my review and let me know if you are a fan of these or not!
A few weeks back, Salehe Bembury released his limited collaboration with New Balance called “Heat Be Hot”. This pack consisted of two pairs of 1906R, one called “Magma”, and the one I’m reviewing today, the “Lava” colourway. This bold and bright pair features a gradient style mesh, silver layers, and a distressed looking midsole. Check out my video and let me know if you managed to score a pair of these as well!
This past weekend, we saw the newest release from Jordan Brand’s “Craft” or “Handcrafted” series. These Air Jordan 3s are built using a mix of tumbled genuine leather, smooth leathers, and suede layers, in a clean and crisp colour palette with aged accents. Most notably, it also incorporates both Nike Air and Jumpman branding on the heel. Watch my review to learn more about this pair and to see how they are on feet!
Continuing Jordan Brand’s Reimagined series is the upcoming release of the “Bred” Air Jordan 4. Swapping the durabuck for a plush leather instead, the shape is also tweaked to be closer to the original 1989 shape with improved comfort and fit. These release on February 17th in full family sizing, but check out my video first before you scoop up a pair for yourself!
Legendary pro skateboarder, Ishod Wair, just released his second signature sneaker with Nike SB, named the Air Max Ishod. Dropping in two colourways, today I’m reviewing the “Persian Violet / Obsidian” colourway (from a lifestyle wearer’s perspective), which fuses retro 90 design, Air Max influences, on a pro skateboarder’s silhouette. What are your thoughts on 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!
Asics dropped the Earthenware Pack, consisting of two colourways of the Gel-Kayano 14 inspired by earth tones in nature. Today I’m reviewing the “Sage White” colourway, which is crafted using ripstop nylon and synthetic layers in tonal grey shades. Tune into my review and leave your thoughts down below – are you feeling these?
Asics looks to ride their wave of success in 2024, and they kicked off the year with this “White / Black” coloured GT-2160. This general release is one of the cleanest colourways yet, with a white mesh upper, black overlays and the slightest accents of green. Watch my review and drop your thoughts on this pair down below!
