To mark the 35th anniversary of the Asics Gel-Lyte III, along with the retirement of the shoe’s designer, Shigeyuki Mitsui, the brand released this special edition pair earlier this summer. Dressed in hairy suede in bold tones of orange and bright blue, these feature coral graphics throughout (as the pronunciation of the Japanese word for coral sharing similarities to the numbers 3 & 5). Watch my review for a detailed breakdown and on feet look!
Considered a grail for many when it comes to Air Jordan 1 non-original colourways, the “Shattered Backboard” colourway is back ten years after they originally released in 2015. This pair pays homage to Michael Jordan shattering a backboard during a Nike exhibition basketball game in Trieste, Italy. Check out my review to see how these stack up compared to the OGs and to see how they are on feet. Anyone grabbing these when they drop on August 23rd?
Nike SB continues their Orange Label exclusive drops with the recent release of this “University Blue” coloured SB Dunk Low.

Aimé Leon Dore released this orange-based take on the New Balance 990 V4 last year, but I scooped them up during their end of year holiday sale. Who can say no to discounted collabs? In my video I break down all the components of the shoe and show you how they are on feet. Thoughts on them?
Kith’s latest project with Madison Square Garden saw the release of three New Balance models – a 991 V2, and two Numeric 480s which fall under the brand’s skateboarding line. Today I’m reviewing both of these, which are dressed in the familiar colours of the New York Knicks. Check out my review for all the info you need and to see how both pairs look on feet! Which of the two are you feeling more?
I recently picked up the “University Gold / Black” Zoom Vomero 5 by Nike for under retail. A bright and bold colourway that offers a little something different stylistically, while still retaining incredible comfort that the model is known for. Check out my video to learn more about this pair and to see how these look on feet! Anyone else pick up a pair of these?
Saucony joined up with Parisian boutique, Starcow, to drop this masterpiece of a colourway of the Progrid Omni 9.
