Canadian abstract artist, Callen Schaub, is set to launch his first ever collaboration with Saucony. Releasing two pairs on May 6th, today I’m reviewing one of the two – the Progrid Omni 9. This pair features a textile upper which pays homage to Schaub’s art style, alongside white and black leather overlays. Check out my detailed review to learn more and to see how these are on feet! Big thanks to Saucony Canada for sending over these!
Nike Basketball brought back this classic from 2011 – the Nike Kobe 6 “Italian Camo”. Built close to the original but tweaked in “protro” form, these feature a camo printed mesh upper, crimson accents, a full length Cushlon midsole, and Zoom Turbo under the forefoot. Watch my video to learn more and to see how these are on feet!
Travis Scott’s first signature sneaker by Jordan Brand is here – the Jumpman Jack Trainer. Today, I got my hands on the first colourway to widely release – the “Sail / Dark Mocha” edition. These sneakers feature premium materials, with a design obviously rooted in Nike trainers from the late 80s and early 90s. Check out my review to learn all about this shoe and to see how they look on feet! Anyone else cop a pair today?
Capitalizing on the current trend of Y2K running shoes turned everyday sneakers, Nike relaunched the Air Pegasus 2005 model. This new colourway that released a few months ago features a mix of black, red and pink tones. Striking in colour as it is comfortable. Check out my review to learn more!
Releasing earlier this month was the women’s Air Jordan 4 “Vivid Sulfur”. A twists on the colour blocking of the Fire Red 4s, these opt for bold yellow tones atop a white leather base. Check out my review on this brand new colourway of the silhouette and let me know if you also picked a pair up for yourself or not!
Adidas and A Bathing Ape just dropped their latest of many collaborations, this time working together on the 1990s skateboarding shoe model – the Adidas Norton (also called the Adidas Lawsuit or LWST). Changing it up and calling it the “N”, these dropped in late April in two colourways. Check out my video as I review the “Shadow Green” pair, and let me know if this is something you’d rock or not!
Joe Freshgoods has linked up with New Balance again, reintroducing the New Balance 1000 to the world. This 1999 running shoe was brought back as part of the “When Things Were Pure” collection consisting of two colourways. The one I’m reviewing today is the “Black Ice” pair, which features an iridescent shiny upper, black mesh and a gum outsole. Did any of you also pick up a pair of these?
For my latest video I’ll be reviewing this general release colourway of the Nike SB Dunk Low. Landing in skate shops throughout the last few weeks, these feature an upper crafted out of soft nubuck in blue, green and off-white tones. A gum rubber outsole completes the look, and it’s one of my fave GR Dunks to release over the last few months! Check out my video to learn more!
Nike’s annual tradition to pay tribute to the legendary Jackie Robinson continued this year with the release of this limited edition Air Max 1 ’86 OG. Crafted using genuine navy blue coloured leather, along with synthetic overlays of sail and gold touches, these are a premium version of the beloved Air Max 1 model. Watch my review and let me know if this was a cop or a drop for you!
