As part of Aimé Leon Dore’s Spring / Summer ’24 collection, the brand quietly released this New Balance 990 V6 “Incense” to the surprise of many. This Made in USA pair features cream, brown, and beige tones, drawing comparison to the “Mindful Grey” (Cream) general release pair from 2023. Watch my review to learn more and to see a direct comparison between these two shoes to see if they have enough differences to own both!
Following a pre-order offered last July, Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance’s latest 860 V2 collaboration finally began landing in consumers’ hands in late January. This three-shoe pack included the pair I’m reviewing today, which is covered in a an off-white coloured mesh with cream synthetic overlays – resulting in a tonal, simple, but easy to wear shoe. Check out my review and let me know if you’re feeling these!
This past weekend, we saw the newest release from Jordan Brand’s “Craft” or “Handcrafted” series. These Air Jordan 3s are built using a mix of tumbled genuine leather, smooth leathers, and suede layers, in a clean and crisp colour palette with aged accents. Most notably, it also incorporates both Nike Air and Jumpman branding on the heel. Watch my review to learn more about this pair and to see how they are on feet!
Asics dropped the Earthenware Pack, consisting of two colourways of the Gel-Kayano 14 inspired by earth tones in nature. Today I’m reviewing the “Sage White” colourway, which is crafted using ripstop nylon and synthetic layers in tonal grey shades. Tune into my review and leave your thoughts down below – are you feeling these?
Continuing on with releasing 2.0 versions of iconic Air Max 1s, Nike recently brought back the “Keep Rippin, Stop Slippin” Air Max 1, originally from 2008. Looking totally different from the OGs, this 2.0 version features hairy black suede, smooth leather, and deep red coloured hits on the lining and embroidery. Is this a worthy sequel to the ’08 classic? Leave your thoughts below!
Ronnie Fieg hit me up and sent me a pair of the upcoming Kith x Asics Gel-Lyte III “Blush”. The first in his “By Invitation Only” style of releases, these are supposedly not going to be available in store nor online – but only to those who have a special QR code invitation to purchase via the Kith mobile app. Check out my review to get a closer look at one of the most beautiful colourways I’ve seen in a while! Does anyone else want to scoop these up for their collections too?
I finally picked up a pair of the Asics Gel-NYC! This new lifestyle silhouette which debuted earlier this year, has released in a variety of colours and today I’ll be reviewing the “Concrete / Oatmeal” pair. Inspired by past silhouettes from Asics’ archive, these feature a mix of mesh, suede, and synthetic panels, giving it a mid 2000s design flare. Check out my review to learn more!
Colour Plus Companie released their second ever collaboration with Saucony with the release of the “Beach Ramble” Grid Shadow 2. Inspired by coastal trails, this shoe takes a 90s performance running shoe and turns it into more of a trail running shoe with its material and colour choices. Check out my video to learn more and drop your thoughts about these down below!
Supreme recently released another collaboration with Nike Skateboarding, featuring both a Dunk Low and High, inspired by the work of the late NY-based artist, Rammellzee. Featuring his artwork printed on canvas layers, the shoe is accented with bold, black suede throughout and a gum rubber outsole. Check out my detailed review to get a closer look and to see how these look on feet!
