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 “Desert White” colourway. Accompanied with premium leather and suede, hints of blue add some pop to this otherwise understated model!
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!
Futura Laboratories and Nike SB have linked up to drop a highly anticipated SB Dunk Low. This pair features a mix of nylon, canvas featuring abstract artwork, reflective hits, and suede. But it all comes together in a bold but cohesive look that the sneaker community is super excited for. Check out my early review to learn more about it and drop your thoughts down below!
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’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?
Adidas and A Bathing Ape just dropped their latest of many collaborations, this time working together on the 1990s skateboarding shoe model – the Adidas Norton (also called the Adidas Lawsuit or LWST). Changing it up and calling it the “N”, these dropped in late April in two colourways. Check out my video as I review the “Shadow Green” pair, and let me know if this is something you’d rock or not!
End and Hoka released their “Overland” collection last month, consisting of apparel and two sneakers – one of which I’m reviewing today. The Hoka Mafate Speed 2 is an extremely well cushioned and dynamic sneaker that works for your off-roading adventures. Check out my video for a closer look at this collab and to see how they are on feet. What do you think of these, is this a cop or a drop?
Following the release of the OG “White / Blue” colourway, Nike released this special edition colourway on Air Max Day, 3.26, inspired by a similar release from a decade ago. Slapping on volt hits on the midsole and tongue, these also have 3.26 branding on the tongue – ensuring they stand out on the streets. Check out my video to learn more about this pair and to see how they are on feet!
Wood Wood recently teamed up with Asics to release their very own take on the GT-2160 silhouette. This model features trail-inspired touches like loop eyelets and rope laces, and incorporates touches of colour like green and purple among the otherwise neutral tones. Check out my review for a closer look and leave your thoughts on this collab down below!
