Clot and Nike recently released an Air Max 1 inspired by their 2006 collaboration, the “Solar Red” Kiss of Death Air Max 1! These differ from the originals by incorporating a mesh toe box, thin leather liners on the upper, and gold embroidery on the heel with Clot branding. With the originals being one of the most exclusive Air Max 1 releases ever, this year’s re-release was a welcome addition to many Air Max collectors out there!
My latest review covers the Off-White x Nike Air Zoom Tempo NEXT%, in the eye-catching “Pink Glow” colourway. Virgil Abloh definitely didn’t play it safe on his take on one of Nike’s top of the line running shoes! Watch my video for an in-depth look and let me know your thoughts on this release down below!
Dutch artist, Parra, is back with another Nike SB collaboration. His take on the Dunk Low sees abstract shapes in a myriad of colours covering the panels of the shoe, while a base of white nubuck, and a solid black leather swoosh give the shoe the right amount of balance. Dropping in late July, these are one of my favourite releases of the year so far!
Nike dropped an “Animal Pack” of Dunk Lows last month, consisting of a zebra-inspired pair, and the pair I’m reviewing today – based off of a cheetah. Constructed in cream-coloured tones, a mix of leather and spotted suede cover the upper, while brown coloured accents finish the look. Check out my review for an in-depth look and let me know your thoughts on this pair!
For today’s episode, we’re headed to the far east as we welcome Jay Shuang, better known as Mr. Shanghaisole himself! Having lived in both the US and Asia equally throughout his life, Jay gives us his perspectives on how the Chinese sneaker market differs from North America’s – including trends, resellers, and the drama surrounding China’s boycott of Nike. We also dive into his experience as a basketball coach, and how he’s trying to get his wife on board with his sneaker addiction.

Last week we saw the release of the “Electro Orange” Air Jordan 1. Utilizing a unique colour blocking style, these Jordans incorporate a lot of white leather on the upper, while reserving the orange as a more complimentary accent colour. Check out my in-depth review and on feet look and share your opinions on these down below! Was this a cop or drop?
Last week, Kith and New Balance released a “10th Anniversary” pack which consisted of three pairs of the RC 1300 model. I picked up all three pairs, all of which are constructed using suede, mesh, and leather, with a chunky Encap Reveal and Abzorb blended midsole for exception comfort. Check out my review of all three and see how they are on feet! Which of these is your favourite?
UNTD, the independent brand I’ve reviewed before that promotes love, unity and friendship in all their products, is back with their new silhouette, the Harmony Low. This “Chili Red” colourway opts for a spicy look with a tumbled white leather upper, and red accents throughout the shoe. Check out my review and let me know what you think down below!

Inspired by Sento, traditional Japanese bathhouses, these incorporate blue suede, tiled white leather, and a towel-like liner.
