Just five years after the last retro (that I also happened to review), the Nike Air Tech Challenge II is back in the original “Hot Lava” colourway, as part of Nike’s Cult Classics reissue program. Dropping today, these sold out quickly in North America, but I was lucky enough to find my size in store this morning. Check out my review for a closer look and to see how these are on feet!
To celebrate the Paris Olympics, Jordan Brand released this new take on the iconic Air Jordan 4 model, nicknamed “Wet Cement”. Inspired by the streets of Paris, this Jordan 4 features grey tones in a mix of smooth nubuck and cracked suede. Check out my review for a closer look and to see how they are on feet!
End and Saucony recently teamed up to release this beautiful homage to the legendary Loch Ness Monster in Scotland. Designing this Progrid Triumph 4 to incorporate dark blue mesh, hairy suede layers and textured nubuck akin to Nessie’s scales – these are a beautiful example of a creative but well thought out collab. Check out my review for a closer look and to see how they are on feet!
JJJJound is back with another take on Adidas’ Samba model. This time though, it ditches the “Made in Germany” fiasco, but this Vietnam-made pair is arguably just as nice. Crafted out of a hairy tan suede, it’s complimented with brown accents throughout. Anyone out there pick up a pair of these also?
Summer is here and one of the best options to rock during these warmer months is this “Vapor Green” colourway of the Nike Zoom Vomero 5. This running shoe turned lifestyle favourite is one of the comfiest shoes I own! Watch my review to learn more about this pair and to see who they are on feet! Anyone else feeling these?
The beloved “Linen” Air Force 1 Low is back! In 2001, these were a Japan-exclusive colourway that was since then only retroed once in limited form and released by Kith. But earlier this month Nike finally brought them back, satisfying sneakerheads and Air Force 1 fans worldwide. Check out my review of these beauties and let me know if you copped a pair for your collection or not!
Just in time for summer, New Balance is dropping this new colourway of their 1000 model, in “Angora / Moonrock”. This general release features a muted yet multicolour look, with a cream midsole and black outsole to complete the look. Check out my review to learn more, and grab yours when they land in stores on June 26th!
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 “Wonder Clay” colourway. Accompanied with premium leather and suede, accents of blue add some pop to this classic looking Samba colourway!
The original “Lightning” colourway of the Air Jordan 17 Low finally received its first retro, as Jordan Brand brought them back in late May just a few weeks ago. Staying true to what MJ wore in the 2002 NBA All-Star Game, it features a soft white leather, chrome detailing, and striking yellow along the TPU on the midsole. Check out my review for all you need to know and let me know if these are worth the high price tag!
