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!
Joe Freshgoods’ latest project with New Balance saw the release of 500 pairs of the 650R model, imaging what it would have been like if Michael Jordan signed with New Balance instead of Nike back in 1984. This premium take on the 650R features a mix of tumbled leather and suede, in a vintage looking cream, grey and white mix. Check out my review and let me know if you think this is just hype, or heat.
Today we’re seeing the release of the “Red Cement” Air Jordan 4. This brand new colourway swaps out the classic grey for fire red tones, giving the silhouette a whole new vibe. Check out my review for an in-depth breakdown and to see how they are on foot. Is this a cop or a drop for you all?
To kick off September, Jordan Brand dropped a brand new colourway of the Air Jordan 1. The “Palomino” colourway is crafted using smooth black leather, and a premium brown coloured nubuck that has a very natural, raw and untreated feel to it. Check out my in-depth review to learn more about these Jordans, and let me know if you also picked up a pair for yourself!
As part of Kith and Adidas Originals fall 2023 lineup, I picked up one of the shoes that released – the Rod Laver. Named after the Australian tennis great, this shoe dates back to the 70s and has been more of a cult classic sneaker that has retroed a few times throughout history. This new colourway for Kith though is clean, minimalistic, and perfect for those not looking to boldly display a company’s logo on their feet.
Australia’s HAL Studios recently dropped their final of three colourways of the Asics GEL-1130. Inspired by the natural world, this minimalistic colourway draws inspiration from the landscapes of glaciers, with a mix of off-white mesh, suede, and brown leathers. Check out my detailed review to learn more and to see how they look on feet. Did you also cop a pair or was this a pass for you?
Releasing later this week is the triple collaboration between Jordan Brand, Union LA, and Bephies Beauty Supply. Headlined by two pairs of Air Jordan 1s, today I’m giving you all an early look at the Air Jordan 1 High which incorporates a woven layer, taken from the Nike Air Footscape. This pair also incorporates beautiful, tumbled sail coloured leather, grey accents and gold or yellow detailing throughout. Check out my review and let me know if you will be trying to grab these on the 24th!
Celebrating the X-Men’s 60th Anniversary, Kith teamed up with Marvel and Asics to release 7 different colourways of the Gel-Lyte III, each representing different iconic X-Men characters. The final pair I acquired via trade is inspired by one of the original X-Men characters and one of the smartest, Beast. Check out my video, and drop a comment on what you think of this pair!
