As part of their Spring / Summer 2024 line, Wales Bonner teamed up with Adidas to release a collection of footwear and apparel, inspired by the legacy of East African runners. Today I’m reviewing a Samba from this collection, crafted out of nylon in the “Desert White” colourway. Accompanied with premium leather and suede, hints of blue add some pop to this otherwise understated model!
Minted New York and Saucony collaborated for the first time, releasing this ProGrid Triumph 4. Inspired by New York City and the Statue of Liberty, this 2007 running shoe is given a lifestyle twist, with green, silver, and beige tones crafted in a mix of nubuck and synthetic materials. Check out my review ahead of the worldwide release tomorrow, May 31st! Big thanks to Saucony Canada for sending over this pair!
Travis Scott and Jordan Brand returned today with a brand new colourway of the Air Jordan 1 Low OG. This women’s release is inspired by Scott’s high school colours of blue and yellow, and is built in a mix of tumbled leather, and smooth suede. Check out my detailed review to learn more and to see how these look on feet!
Earlier this week, J Balvin released his fourth collaboration with Jordan Brand, and second on the Air Jordan 3. This “Rio” pair is named after his son, and is crafted using a black leather upper, darkened elephant print panels, and the same gradient look on the midsole and heel that was also used in his previous Air Jordan 3 collab. Check out my video to get a closer look and leave a comment below if you lucked on these!
Tomorrow, May 17th, we’ll see the release of the DTLR x New Balance 2002R “Purple Noir”. This exclusive colourway features a unique mix of colours and materials. Grey mesh, black suede, and neon accents are complimented with iridescent purple panels and glow in the dark touches. Check out my in-depth review before you buy them! Big thank you to DTLR for sending these over!
Futura Laboratories and Nike SB have linked up to drop a highly anticipated SB Dunk Low. This pair features a mix of nylon, canvas featuring abstract artwork, reflective hits, and suede. But it all comes together in a bold but cohesive look that the sneaker community is super excited for. Check out my early review to learn more about it and drop your thoughts down below!
Travis Scott’s first signature sneaker by Jordan Brand is here – the Jumpman Jack Trainer. Today, I got my hands on the first colourway to widely release – the “Sail / Dark Mocha” edition. These sneakers feature premium materials, with a design obviously rooted in Nike trainers from the late 80s and early 90s. Check out my review to learn all about this shoe and to see how they look on feet! Anyone else cop a pair today?
Adidas and A Bathing Ape just dropped their latest of many collaborations, this time working together on the 1990s skateboarding shoe model – the Adidas Norton (also called the Adidas Lawsuit or LWST). Changing it up and calling it the “N”, these dropped in late April in two colourways. Check out my video as I review the “Shadow Green” pair, and let me know if this is something you’d rock or not!
Joe Freshgoods has linked up with New Balance again, reintroducing the New Balance 1000 to the world. This 1999 running shoe was brought back as part of the “When Things Were Pure” collection consisting of two colourways. The one I’m reviewing today is the “Black Ice” pair, which features an iridescent shiny upper, black mesh and a gum outsole. Did any of you also pick up a pair of these?
