With Toy Story 5 releasing a week from now, Adidas teamed up with Pixar to release a three-shoe pack. I picked up the Adistar Control 5, which is inspired by none other than Buzz Lightyear. This perfectly themed shoe features white mesh, colourful hits of green and purple, and more! Check out my review and let me know if anyone else is liking this design!
Hidden NY continued their partnership with Asics releasing their take on the Gel-Kinetic 2.0 earlier this month. This new model from Asics is a unique silhouette with a white mesh upper, FF Blast+ foam, Scutoid Gel cushioning and more. It also draws inspiration from mid 80s Macintosh-drawn artwork. Watch my video for a closer look and let me know how you all feel about this release!
New Balance continues their push of the 1890 silhouette, with this upcoming collaboration with Stone Island. Releasing two colourways, today I’m reviewing the “Covert Green” pair, which is done in the quintessential Stone Island olive green colour. Built using ripstop nylon, TPU overlays and genuine suede, it’ll be curious to see how these sell when they release on June 4th! Is this a cop or a drop for you?
Nigel Sylvester just dropped his newest Air Jordan 4 collab, taking last year’s release and expanding on the story. The “Brick After Brick” colourway draws similarities to the “Fire Red” 4s but features unique touches like 3M side panels / tongue, an embroidered mini swoosh, and “Bike Air” on the heel tab. Tune into my review for an in-depth break down and to see these on feet!
Earls Collection, founded by former pro-rugby player Lewis Brown, released their second collaboration with Asics earlier this month. This pair is inspired by Brown’s upbringing, the concept of home, and translates it perfectly onto the Gel-Cumulus 16 model. Tune into my review for a complete breakdown and to see how these are on feet. Definitely one of the best Asics drops of 2026 so far!
One of the best Asics shoes to release this year is the Lapstone & Hammer collab, nicknamed “The Spark”. This take on the Gel-Kayano 12.1 is both simple but premium, with genuine leathers, canvas and suede used, along with a simple colour palette with a bit of pop. Check out my review for an in-depth breakdown and to see how they are on feet!
New Balance and Joe Freshgoods’ latest project, “Let’s Get Weird”, was headlined by three colourways of the New Balance 1890 with inspiration being drawn from the style, colours and vibe of rap music videos from the late 90s. Today I’m reviewing two of the three, with both featuring a bold mesh upper with reflective panels and strong black toned accents throughout. Tune into my video for an in-depth review!
A few weeks back, Carnival, a boutique based out of Thailand, dropped a beautiful collab with Asics on the Gel-Kayano 12.1. This pair is inspired by the Phra Nakhon district of its capital city, Bangkok, and features a crochet-knit upper, a cement like spray-on midsole, and more. Check out my review for an in-depth review and to see all the details within this shoe!
The Nike JA 3 just dropped this incredible collection, themed after the Jurassic Park film franchise. One of the pairs that released is this “Explorer” colourway, which features the iconic green, red and yellow tones seen on the movie’s Ford Explorers. Tune into this review for a casual user’s perspective on one of the best Nike Basketball releases of the year!
