Continuing on with releasing 2.0 versions of iconic Air Max 1s, Nike recently brought back the “Keep Rippin, Stop Slippin” Air Max 1, originally from 2008. Looking totally different from the OGs, this 2.0 version features hairy black suede, smooth leather, and deep red coloured hits on the lining and embroidery. Is this a worthy sequel to the ’08 classic? Leave your thoughts below!
Based off of the 2006 DMP 11s, Jordan Brand is releasing the Air Jordan 11 “Gratitude” later this week on December 9th. Replacing the nylon upper for a tumbled white leather instead, it otherwise remains fairly true to the original with glossy, black patent leather, gold coloured detailing, and a translucent outsole that made the Air Jordan 11 famous. Check out my review and let me know if you plan on buying these later this week!
A few days ago, Jordan Brand released another pair from their “Craft” or “Handcrafted” series. This time, the Air Jordan 4 was given a “Medium Olive” toned makeover, with a mix of premium nubuck, suede, and cracked leather. Check out my review to learn more about these beauties and to see how they are on feet! Did anyone else scoop up a pair of these?
In my latest review I’m breaking down the details of the Air Jordan 3 “Off Noir” which released a couple days ago in women’s sizing. This pair is mostly crafted in black tones, with a black nubuck upper, black leather, and the signature elephant print covering the toe and heels. Check out my video and let me know if you also picked these up for yourself!
The “Neutral Grey” Air Jordan 1 Low returned this past weekend after a mere two years since they last released. However, this version differentiates itself being an “85” release, meant to be crafted closer to how the Air Jordan 1 was done back in 1985. These feature a premium leather upper, grey suede overlays, and a vintage looking rubber cupsole to give it that old school look. Did anyone else cop a pair?
My review of the ultra hyped SB Dunk collab between Born X Raised and Nike SB is here! Postponed due to the passing of BXR founder Chris “Spanto” Printup, these finally were sold to the public in late September. They feature a ton of unique detailing amidst an otherwise simple colourblocking of white leather and blue nubuck. Watch my review to learn more! Anyone else get luck and grab a pair for yourself?
Ronnie Fieg worked with Adidas Originals and Clarks to design and release the 8th Street Samba – a unique twist on this classic Adidas shoe. Sold out quickly, and then offered up again as a pre-order earlier this year, I finally got my hands on the pair I ordered – the “Summit White” colourway. Check out my review of this mashup model and let me know if you think these are one of the best Adidas releases of the year!
J Balvin is back with his third collaboration with Jordan Brand – this time releasing a beautiful pair of Air Jordan 3s inspired by the Medellin sunset, the city he calls home. Featuring a cream coloured tumbled leather, aged edges, and a gradient feature on the heel tab and midsole, these were an instant sell out when they dropped a few weeks back. Check out my video to get a closer look and leave a comment below if you’re feeling these!
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!
