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 “Wonder Clay” colourway. Accompanied with premium leather and suede, accents of blue add some pop to this classic looking Samba colourway!

J Balvin x Air Jordan 3 Retro SP “Rio” Review
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!
Nike Book 1 “Rattlesnake” Review
I’m back with another (lifestyle) review of the Nike Book 1. This is the recently released “Rattlesnake” colourway which dropped earlier this month, and it features a white leather upper, snakeskin patterned Swoosh, and burnt orange accents to complete the look. Anyone else pick up a pair of these? Let me know what you think of them down below!
New Balance 1906N “Team Away Grey / Olivine” Review
I recently picked up a pair of the New Balance 1906 Utility, also called the 1906N. This pair features a slightly different upper construction than your standard 1906R, with a mix of mesh, leather and synthetic layers. This colourway caught my eye with various tones of grey, olive and beige. Check out my review to learn more!
Nike Book 1 Premium “Hike” Review
For my latest video I’m reviewing a premium version of the Nike Book 1, the signature sneaker for NBA star Devin Booker. This “Hike” colourway is crafted in a mix of textured suedes, faux hair, and snakeskin overlays, giving this basketball sneaker a ton of lifestyle flavour. Check out my review to learn more about it!
Callen Schaub x Saucony Shadow 6000 “White / Multi” Review
Canadian abstract artist, Callen Schaub, just launched his first ever collaboration with Saucony. Releasing two pairs on May 6th, today I’m reviewing one of the two – the Shadow 6000. Taking the 1991 retro runner, this colourway is crafted using smooth white leather and black mesh and suede. However it infuses Schaub’s artwork onto the side panels for an overall muted but still unique look. Huge thanks to Saucony Canada for sending over these!
Callen Schaub x Saucony Progrid Omni 9 “White / Multi” Review
Canadian abstract artist, Callen Schaub, is set to launch his first ever collaboration with Saucony. Releasing two pairs on May 6th, today I’m reviewing one of the two – the Progrid Omni 9. This pair features a textile upper which pays homage to Schaub’s art style, alongside white and black leather overlays. Check out my detailed review to learn more and to see how these are on feet! Big thanks to Saucony Canada for sending over these!
Travis Scott x Jordan Jumpman Jack Trainer “Sail / Dark Mocha” Review
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?
Air Jordan 4 Retro “Military Blue” (Industrial Blue) Review
Last retroed in 2012, the “Military Blue” Air Jordan 4 returns worldwide on May 4th. This original colourway of the Air Jordan 4 has been brought back two times prior, but this is the first retro to feature Nike Air branding, along with an improved shape that’s meant to look closer to the originals from the 80s. Check out my early review to get a closer look and to see how they are on feet!
