Gallery Dept x Asics Gel-K1011 “White / Pure Silver” (Gundam) Review
LA-based brand Gallery Dept continues their partnership with Asics, releasing a couple colourways of the mashup silhouette, the Gel-K1011. Dropping a few months ago, I caught a restock of my fave colourway – “White / Pure Silver”, which reminds me of the iconic Gundam robots. Check out my review of this pricy, but stylish pair, and to see how they are on feet! Anyone also grab a pair of these, or did the price deter you?
Juliana Salazar x Asics Gel-Kayano 14 “Eucalyptus / Vanilla Ice” Review
Multi-hyphenate creative director Juliana Salazar just dropped her collaboration with Asics. Her take on the Gel-Kayano 14 is full of elegance, with a tonal tan upper crafted out of open mesh and suede. Hints of silver compliment the upper along with bold pops of blue along the Gel unit in the heel complete the look. Check out my review for an in-depth look and leave your opinions below!
Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 860 V2 “Blue / Yellow” Review
Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance offered another trio of 860 V2s for pre-order last July, and the boldest of the bunch is what I’m reviewing for you all today. This “Blue / Yellow” pair reminds me of my childhood with bold primary hues covering the mesh and synthetic upper. Tune into my review and let me know if you’re feeling these!
Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 992 “Aged Well” Review
New Balance and Joe Freshgoods honour their incredible 5-year run of collaborations with the reintroduction of the New Balance 992. Going back to where their run started, this 992 “Aged Well” seemingly is a washed out version of their original collab from 2020. Tune into my review for an early look and to see how these are on feet! Are you planning on grabbing these when they drop (probably) later this month?
JJJJound x New Balance 993 “Mushroom” Review
New Balance and JJJJound linked up earlier this month to release their newest collab, this time on the fan favourite, Made in USA 993 model. Dressed in earth tones of beige and light brown, this continues JJJJound’s trend of wearable, understated projects. Check out my review and let me know if you managed to grab these for yourself as well!
