JJJJound x New Balance 990 V3 “Suede” (Beige) Review
While we’re waiting patiently for our 990 V4 preorders to be fulfilled, JJJJound and New Balance just dropped another banger collab – this time on the 990 V3. Replacing the usual mesh and reflective details with solely suede, this pair is the perfect pair for fall and winter, with only black as the other complimentary tone along with the beige suede.

Pharrell x Adidas Virginia Adistar Jellyfish “Storm” (Onix) Review
Releasing alongside the “Red / Black” colourway that I previously reviewed is the “Storm” version of the Pharrell x Adidas Adistar Jellyfish. This moody looking pair joins dark grey mesh with hits of black, grey-blue and neon hits resulting in a more lowkey and wearable pair compared to a lot of its predecessors. Watch my review to get a closer look at one of my fave colourways of this fashion-forward model!

Westside Gunn’s Saucony Grid Jazz 9 has the community talking! The “Awesome God” collab, which drops August 28th, is definitely not one for the shy.
