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?

Ronnie Fieg x Clarks x Adidas Gazelle “Molecule” Review
Ronnie Fieg is back with his latest triple collaboration with Adidas Originals and Clarks, dropping the 8th Street Gazelle that was pre-ordered as part of the Kith Loyalty Program. Exclusive to those within the Molecule tier and above, this pair took roughly half a year to arrive, but they’re well worth the wait! Check out my review to see how they look on feet!

New Balance 990 V4 “Arctic Grey / Black” Review
I’m reviewing one of the most well received general release New Balance sneakers of the year so far! This Made in USA 990 V4 is dressed in a mix of suede and nubuck in “arctic blue”, along with a blacked out midsole / outsole combination. Watch my video for all the details you need to know. How do you feel about these?
Comme Des Garçons Homme x New Balance 1906R “White” Review
Comme Des Garçons Homme released two colourways of the New Balance 1906R late last year, one of which I’m reviewing today. The “White” colourway features white mesh with genuine leather overlays, contrasted against a solid black midsole and heel cup. Utilizing more premium materials than usual, are these worth the significant price bump? Check out my video and decide for yourselves!
JJJJound x Adidas Samba (Made in Germany) “White” Review
JJJJound released their elevated take on the Adidas Samba late last month – but it wasn’t without controversy. Advertised as a “Made in Germany” shoe, it came to light that the pairs were actually largely manufactured in Vietnam, with only the finishing touches actually done in the European country instead. So check out my review as I dive into the details and give you all an in-depth look at this pair to determine whether or not the quality is up to par and worthy of the price point!
New Balance 990 V4 “Grey / Black” (U990TG4) Review
In today’s video I’m reviewing a pair of the New Balance 990 V4 that has already been available overseas but not yet in North America. This Made in USA pair features a sail coloured mesh, grey suede and black overlays on one of my favourite silhouettes offered by the brand. Check out my detailed review for a closer look and to see how they are on feet!
Stone Island x New Balance 991 V2 “Black / Olive” Review
