While we’re waiting patiently for our 990 V4 preorders to be fulfilled, JJJJound and New Balance just dropped another banger collab – this time on the 990 V3. Replacing the usual mesh and reflective details with solely suede, this pair is the perfect pair for fall and winter, with only black as the other complimentary tone along with the beige suede. Tune into my review for an in-depth breakdown, and comment your thoughts on this shoe down below!
To mark the 35th anniversary of the Asics Gel-Lyte III, along with the retirement of the shoe’s designer, Shigeyuki Mitsui, the brand released this special edition pair earlier this summer. Dressed in hairy suede in bold tones of orange and bright blue, these feature coral graphics throughout (as the pronunciation of the Japanese word for coral sharing similarities to the numbers 3 & 5). Watch my review for a detailed breakdown and on feet look!
This year marks fifteen years since Kith first opened their doors, and to celebrate, their bringing back the one that started it all – the Asics Gel-Lyte III “Salmon Toe”. This remastered version features upgraded materials, but retains the same iconic split coloured look. Tune into my review as I break down one of the year’s best releases! Huge thank you to Ronnie Fieg and the @Kith family for sending these over!
Today I’m reviewing the triple collab between Asics, Invincible, and Hong Kong-based brand Madness on the Gel-Kayano 12.1. Dressed in a monotone “Vanilla” colour, it actually incorporates a myriad of materials that can’t be appreciated without looking at it up close. Genuine suede, translucent mesh, rip stop nylon, and more – learn more about this by watching my review!
New Balance released a new model, the 2811, for Action Bronson exclusively. Following up on the debut “Mikročpske” colourway, a second pair was recently mysteriously being sold on the GOAT app for under retail. I picked one up to see how they were – and safe to say, I’m impressed. This colourway features genuine suede and leather, in cool tones contrasted against a black Abzorb midsole. Tune into my early review and drop your thoughts down below!
Kith celebrates their 15th anniversary by joining up with New Balance to drop a brand new model – the 2011. This pair was part of a launch collection of four colourways, designed by Ronnie Fieg and NB’s Sam Pearce. It’s built using a mix of premium suedes and nubucks, and is covered in various green shades – a perfect tie in to the launch campaign centered around Kith’s growth over the last fifteen years. Tune into my review for a complete break down and on feet look!
New Balance continues their push of the 1890 silhouette, with this upcoming collaboration with Stone Island. Releasing two colourways, today I’m reviewing the “Covert Green” pair, which is done in the quintessential Stone Island olive green colour. Built using ripstop nylon, TPU overlays and genuine suede, it’ll be curious to see how these sell when they release on June 4th! Is this a cop or a drop for you?
Coinciding with the re-opening of Kith’s West Hollywood flagship store, the brand linked up with New Balance to release four Made in USA pairs, including the one I’m reviewing today. The 990 V4 in “Dusty Mauve” is built using a mesh base, pigskin suede overlays, and reflective details – all in a mature and wearable colour palette. Check out my in-depth review for a proper breakdown and to see them 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!
