The beloved Air Jordan 1 “Royal” is back, but with a twist. These “Reimagined” Royals are crafted using a plush blue suede, with black nubuck layers instead of the traditional leather. This has the sneaker community talking – with some liking the change, and others despising it. Watch my review to learn more and let me know where you stand on this pair in the comments below!

Air Jordan 1 Low 85 “Neutral Grey” Review
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?
Air Jordan 12 Retro “Cherry” (2023) Review

Saucony Grid Shadow 2 “Creek marsh” Review
For today’s video I’m reviewing one of the latest Saucony Originals releases I’ve had my eye on. This Grid Shadow 2 is inspired by the Saucony Creek Marsh in Kutztown, PA. Opting for colours seen in nature, this is a great blend of solid materials and unique colours on a 90s runner. Check out my review to learn more!
