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!
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.
