Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 860 V2 “Blue / Yellow” Review
Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance offered another trio of 860 V2s for pre-order last July, and the boldest of the bunch is what I’m reviewing for you all today. This “Blue / Yellow” pair reminds me of my childhood with bold primary hues covering the mesh and synthetic upper. Tune into my review and let me know if you’re feeling these!

Kith x Salomon XT-4K “Bright White / Fiery Red” Review
I’m ringing in the new year with a review of a brand I’ve yet to cover – Salomon. Last week, Kith dropped a 3-pair collaboration, including this white-based XT-4K model that I’m reviewing today. This trail-runner is given lifestyle fashion appeal with white and grey base layers accented with bright red hits! Check out my review on this pair and let me know if you also picked these up for yourself!
Kith x Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1 “Cream / Sage” Review
As part of Kith’s Winter ’24 line, they dropped a couple of Asics collaborations, including the Gel-Kayano 12.1 that I’m reviewing today. This pair features cream mesh, with translucent TPU layers in a pale mint tone. The upper of this shoe is also paired with the tooling of the Gel-Nimbus 17, resulting in a mashup that is refreshingly new but still works. Check out my review for all you need to know and to see how they are on feet!
Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “University Gold / Black” Review
I recently picked up the “University Gold / Black” Zoom Vomero 5 by Nike for under retail. A bright and bold colourway that offers a little something different stylistically, while still retaining incredible comfort that the model is known for. Check out my video to learn more about this pair and to see how these look on feet! Anyone else pick up a pair of these?

Australian boutique, Up There, is set to release their latest New Balance collab, this time releasing a colourful take on the 860 V2 sneaker. Dropping at the end of October, these feature a blue mesh base, green synthetic nubuck overlays, brown detailing, and pink laces. A random mix of colours but somehow they just work! Check out my early review and huge thanks to Up There for the early oop!
