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?
End and Hoka released their “Overland” collection last month, consisting of apparel and two sneakers – one of which I’m reviewing today. The Hoka Mafate Speed 2 is an extremely well cushioned and dynamic sneaker that works for your off-roading adventures. Check out my video for a closer look at this collab and to see how they are on feet. What do you think of these, is this a cop or a drop?
Comme Des Garçons Homme released two colourways of the New Balance 1906R late last year, one of which I’m reviewing today. The “White” colourway features white mesh with genuine leather overlays, contrasted against a solid black midsole and heel cup. Utilizing more premium materials than usual, are these worth the significant price bump? Check out my video and decide for yourselves!
JJJJound released their elevated take on the Adidas Samba late last month – but it wasn’t without controversy. Advertised as a “Made in Germany” shoe, it came to light that the pairs were actually largely manufactured in Vietnam, with only the finishing touches actually done in the European country instead. So check out my review as I dive into the details and give you all an in-depth look at this pair to determine whether or not the quality is up to par and worthy of the price point!
Late last month, Hoka released this limited edition version of their Tor Summit model in collaboration with Chicago-based fashion brand, Hidden Characters. This pair features a striking look with a black nubuck upper, trail lacing, and is contrasted against a white rubberized mudguard and midsole. Check out my in-depth review to learn more about this pair and to see how they are on feet!
Heroes in a half shell! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles celebrate their 40th anniversary with this collab with Adidas on the Superstar silhouette! Celebrating the original 1984 look with all-red bandanas, the shoe is crafted using premium green tumbled leather, TMNT dubraes and a ton of other easter eggs throughout. Check out my review to get a closer look!
Today I’m back with another look back at a New Balance 1906R – this one from 2022. The triple collaboration between Invincible, N.Hoolywood and New Balance is crafted using a tonal grey upper in a variety of materials like shaggy suede and nylons. Check out my review for a closer look and let me know what you think about these down below!
Thanks to StockX for hooking me up with one of the New Balance 1906R collabs I missed out on last year! This pair is a project with Australian sneaker boutique, Up There, who dropped this silver-based colourway with cream and green coloured accents this past November. Check out my review and drop a comment to share how you feel about these!
