Dizygotic is an independent sneaker brand that produces shoes inspired by their name – same but different. Their newest Project Alpha colourway is a collab with tennis ball brand, Penn. Nicknamed “Mixmatch”, these are inspired by the bold fashions of early 90s tennis with a mix of washed denim and white canvas. Tune into my video for an in-depth breakdown and on feet look!
Just five years after the last retro (that I also happened to review), the Nike Air Tech Challenge II is back in the original “Hot Lava” colourway, as part of Nike’s Cult Classics reissue program.

Check out my review and big thanks to Social Status for sending me over an early pair!
Aimé Leon Dore brought back a 1982 tennis sneaker from New Balance – the T500. Releasing as part of the brand’s Fall / Winter 2023 lineup, they dropped in three colourways.

Afew teamed up with Diadora to release this special edition B.560, honouring Dino Russo, a talented tennis player who many never heard of because he chose to not turn pro.

Check out my review and big thank you to Afew for sending over this pair to me!
