The original “Tianjin” Foamposite dropped exclusively in Asia back in 2015 – making it reach astronomical levels of resell prices. 11 years later and Nike has brought out its sequel which I’m reviewing for you all today. This 2.0 version features brighter, whiter tones, but still retains its essence with Chinese artwork features on the foam shell. Tune into my review for an in-depth look at this beautiful pair and future classic!

Two pink-focused colourways of the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low dropped at the end of May, and today I’m reviewing the “Shy Pink” pair. This low top features an upper built out of nubuck and tumbled leathers, in various shades of cream and pink. Cactus Jack and Jumpman co-branding share the spotlight as well. Check out my review for a closer look and let me know if you managed to snag a pair of these for yourself!
Hidden NY continued their partnership with Asics releasing their take on the Gel-Kinetic 2.0 earlier this month. This new model from Asics is a unique silhouette with a white mesh upper, FF Blast+ foam, Scutoid Gel cushioning and more. It also draws inspiration from mid 80s Macintosh-drawn artwork. Watch my video for a closer look and let me know how you all feel about this release!
New Balance continues their push of the 1890 silhouette, with this upcoming collaboration with Stone Island. Releasing two colourways, today I’m reviewing the “Covert Green” pair, which is done in the quintessential Stone Island olive green colour. Built using ripstop nylon, TPU overlays and genuine suede, it’ll be curious to see how these sell when they release on June 4th! Is this a cop or a drop for you?
My latest Nike SB pickup is the “Muni Fast Pass” SB Dunk Low, which is the second colourway from this set that’s inspired by the San Francisco public transit system, Muni, and specifically the monthly pass design that was last seen over a decade ago. This pair combines bold yellow nubuck with turquoise, in a unique split fashion. Tune into the video for a full breakdown and to see how these look on feet!
One of the best Asics shoes to release this year is the Lapstone & Hammer collab, nicknamed “The Spark”. This take on the Gel-Kayano 12.1 is both simple but premium, with genuine leathers, canvas and suede used, along with a simple colour palette with a bit of pop. Check out my review for an in-depth breakdown and to see how they are on feet!
A few weeks back, Carnival, a boutique based out of Thailand, dropped a beautiful collab with Asics on the Gel-Kayano 12.1. This pair is inspired by the Phra Nakhon district of its capital city, Bangkok, and features a crochet-knit upper, a cement like spray-on midsole, and more. Check out my review for an in-depth review and to see all the details within this shoe!
Nike SB just dropped their altered take on the Air Force 1, making it a version suitable for skateboarding. This first colourway, “Light Orewood Brown”, features a suede upper, lowered footbed for increased ground feel, and the signature puffy SB tongue, all to make this more performance oriented. Tune into the video for a complete breakdown!
Cincinnati-based boutique Unheardof, released another incredible collaboration with Adidas earlier this March. The “Piggy Runner 2.0” comprises of four colourways of the Adistar Control 5, with each pair nicknamed after founder Phil Lipschutz’ childhood friends. In this video I’m reviewing two of the pairs – Cupcake and Cheeseburger, so tune in to the vid to see how they are up close!
