Last month, New Balance dropped a series of city exclusive colourways of their 991 V2 silhouette. Each pair is regional specific, like the “Yellow” pair I’m reviewing today which was an Asia-Pacific exclusive sold only in Melbourne and Seoul. Check out my in-depth review and on feet look and let me know which of this pack was your fave!

Nike Air Max 1 ’86 Premium (Big Bubble) “World Make Korea” Review
Part of Nike’s World Make series, this pair of the Air Max 1 ’86 represents Korea, and is crafted using a unique mix of materials as a nod to this fashion hub. Featuring layers of tumbled leather, canvas and hemp-like textiles, these are an interesting spin on Nike’s “Big Bubble” version of the Air Max 1. Watch my review to learn more!
Kasina x Nike Air Max 1 SP (Won-Ang) “Grey” & “Orange” Review
Korean-based brand, Kasina, collaborated with Nike last month to release two colourways of the Air Max 1. Inspired by Won-Ang, this is the cultural tradition of gifting wood carved ducks to the couple on their wedding. The two pairs feature a mix of materials like leather, suede, faux pony hair, and more. Check out my review to get a closer look and let me know what you think down below!

Nike Air Max 97 On Air “Neon Seoul” Review
One of the most anticipated shoes from the Nike On Air Collection, Gwang Shin’s Air Max 97 represents the busy neon lit streets of his home city, Seoul.
