Releasing just before the end of 2023, Nike released these women’s Dunk Lows, unofficially inspired by the iconic Air Max 90 “Bacon”. Crafted with elevated materials like tumbled leather and genuine nubucks, these mirror the colours of the famous Air Max 90 in a mix of sail, sport red, pink and brown. Check out my review to get a closer look and to see how they are on feet!
I didn’t get a chance to review these before the year ended, but this past December, Joe Freshgoods and New Balance teamed up again to release a three-sneaker pack inspired by the late 90s, drawing colours from the movie “Belly”. Today I’m reviewing the “Intro” colourway, which is crafted using black mesh with white-based suede and synthetic overlays. Check out my review and drop a comment below if you’re feeling them!
Just when you thought my year was over – I’m back with one final video to close out 2023. Nike Basketball released a brand new take on the Kobe 4 Protro, nicknamed “Gift of Mamba”. This premium rendition of the Kobe 4 opts for genuine nubuck and leather construction, in a blacked-out colourway. Check out my detailed review and on feet look to see more!
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!
A Ma Maniére and Jordan Brand close off 2023 with one final collab, this time a two-shoe Air Jordan 5 pack nicknamed “Dawn” and “Dusk”. Today I’ll be reviewing the “Dawn” pair, which is crafted using a light grey suede upper, with vintage detailing, and black and blue accents. Check out my review of these 5s and let me know if you were happy with this pair (shipping delays notwithstanding).
Shenzhen-based label, Costs, recently dropped another Asics collaboration, this time on the GT-2160 silhouette. Inspired by “Shao Ji”, a traditional bamboo woven basket, these are crafted in cream tones, with navy blue accents, in a mix of mesh and suede. Watch my detailed review and drop a comment down below if you are a fan of these!
Releasing later this month, New Balance’s England factory is releasing this Urban Winter version of the New Balance 991. Nicknamed the “Reverse JJJJound” colourway, it features a mix of ripstop, pig suede and other synthetic layers in cream, tan and brown tones. Check out my review and let me know if this is a pair you’re looking to grab or not!
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?
A few days ago, Jordan Brand released another pair from their “Craft” or “Handcrafted” series. This time, the Air Jordan 4 was given a “Medium Olive” toned makeover, with a mix of premium nubuck, suede, and cracked leather. Check out my review to learn more about these beauties and to see how they are on feet! Did anyone else scoop up a pair of these?
