Another month, another New Balance 1890 release. This time, the brand linked up with JJJJound to release two minimalistic takes on the new and popular lifestyle model. Today I’m reviewing the “White / Silver” pair, which is inspired by American collegiate campus athletics. Tap into the video for an in-depth look at this collab!

One of the best Asics shoes to release this year is the Lapstone & Hammer collab, nicknamed “The Spark”.

Check out my review for an in-depth breakdown and to see how they are on feet!

Air Jordan 12 Retro “French Blue” (2025) Review
One of the best non-OG colourways of the Air Jordan 12 has returned! The “French Blue” 12s first dropped in 2004, but this year’s retro marks the third time they’ve been given a public release. Featuring tumbled white leather with blue and silver accents, these are a beautiful colourway – but how does the rest of the shoe hold up? Tune into my video for an in-depth breakdown!
A.P.C. x Asics Gel-Kayano 14 “White / Silver” Review
French fashion brand, A.P.C. joined up with Asics to drop a collection inspired by tennis. Two colourways meant for off-the-court were part of it though, including this “White / Silver” Gel-Kayano 14. Watch my video for a thorough breakdown of this sneaker and to see how they are on feet. Anyone feeling these or are they too plain?
Kith x Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 “White / Morganite” Review
As part of Kith’s Winter ’24 line, they dropped a couple of Asics collaborations, including the Gel-Nimbus 10.1 that I’m reviewing today. This pair features white mesh, with silver synthetic leather and TPU overlays resulting in a dark, winteresque vibe. The upper of this shoe is also paired with the tooling of the Gel-Kayano 14, resulting in a familiar but still new fusion. Check out my review for all you need to know and to see how they are on feet!
