Aimé Leon Dore released this orange-based take on the New Balance 990 V4 last year, but I scooped them up during their end of year holiday sale. Who can say no to discounted collabs? In my video I break down all the components of the shoe and show you how they are on feet. Thoughts on them?
As a follow up to their earlier collab last year, Bodega and Asics teamed up again to release a limited run of their Friends & Family colourway of the Gel-Kayano 20 – called “Success In Small Batches”. This understated colourway features brown mesh, grey synthetic overlays, and neon hits throughout. Tune into my review to learn all you need to know about this special pair and to see how they look on feet!
First released in 2007, the “Black Cat” Air Jordan 3 has finally returned. This black-out colourway features a nubuck upper, shiny patent leather layers, and the signature elephant print but also turned all-black. Given the popularity of the “Black Cat” 4s, it’ll be interesting to see how these fare in today’s sneaker climate! Is anyone picking these up?
New Balance and JJJJound released their newest interpretation of the 2002R silhouette, once again made for the winter weather with Gore-Tex! This simple colourway is crafted out of premium, soft, black leather, with minimal accents in blue on the heel. Check out my review and comment below your opinions – was this a cop or a pass for you?
I’m ringing in the new year with a review of a brand I’ve yet to cover – Salomon. Last week, Kith dropped a 3-pair collaboration, including this white-based XT-4K model that I’m reviewing today. This trail-runner is given lifestyle fashion appeal with white and grey base layers accented with bright red hits! Check out my review on this pair and let me know if you also picked these up for yourself!
Even though summer is over, Concepts’ latest collaboration with Asics gives us that reminder of warmer days gone by. This “Out of Office” colourway of the Gel-Kayano 14 features tropical tones of cream, red and neon green, dressing up this popular runner as if its on vacation. Tune into my review for all the info you need and let me know if you also grabbed a pair of these too!
Six years since they last retroed, Jordan Brand has brought back the iconic “Black Cement” colourway of the Air Jordan 3. This original colourway from ’88 features a cut that’s more streamlined and similar to the OGs than in years past. It’s crafted using a soft black leather with elephant print and hits of red to complete the look. Check out my early review and let me know if you plan on picking up a pair this weekend!
In today’s video I’m reviewing a shoe I picked up on discount – the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 Utility in “Arctic Grey”. This Utility version is extremely similar to the normal 1080 V13, but features genuine suede throughout the shoe and is dressed in a tonal look – all done up in a beautiful grey-blue shade. Check out my review for my review from a lifestyle lens, and let me know what you think down below!
As part of Kith’s Winter ’24 line, they dropped a couple of Asics collaborations, including the Gel-Nimbus 10.1 that I’m reviewing today. This pair features white mesh, with silver synthetic leather and TPU overlays resulting in a dark, winteresque vibe. The upper of this shoe is also paired with the tooling of the Gel-Kayano 14, resulting in a familiar but still new fusion. Check out my review for all you need to know and to see how they are on feet!
