With Toy Story 5 releasing a week from now, Adidas teamed up with Pixar to release a three-shoe pack. I picked up the Adistar Control 5, which is inspired by none other than Buzz Lightyear. This perfectly themed shoe features white mesh, colourful hits of green and purple, and more! Check out my review and let me know if anyone else is liking this design!
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!
Nigel Sylvester just dropped his newest Air Jordan 4 collab, taking last year’s release and expanding on the story. The “Brick After Brick” colourway draws similarities to the “Fire Red” 4s but features unique touches like 3M side panels / tongue, an embroidered mini swoosh, and “Bike Air” on the heel tab. Tune into my review for an in-depth break down and to see these on feet!
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!
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!
There’s a ton of excitement surrounding Saucony’s “Kissaten” pack, and for good reason. This three-shoe pack includes my favourite – the Progrid Omni 9, which I’m reviewing for you all today. Inspired by nostalgic teahouses from Japan, this pair features a white mesh upper, cracked leather layers with floral print (reminiscent of a tea cup), and reflective panels. Check out my in-depth review to learn more about these beauties!
