KICKS: Nike Air Max 93 "Triple Black"/ PUMA Match Velcro White/ Jordan Eclipse "Elephant Print" / adidas Originals Superstar White/Red JD Sports Exclusive/ J.Crew x New Balance 998 "Hilltop Blues"

Nike Air Max 93 "Triple Black"
The latest sneaker to receive the ”Triple Black” color treatment is Nike‘s retro Air Max 93 silhouette. Originally released in 1993, the retro runner is rendered in a tonal black colorway giving the classic sneaker’s dual leather and nylon upper a minimalist design. A form-fitting inner lining ensures a snug fit, while the translucent Air Max unit provides extra cushioning. A must-have in your summer sneaker rotation, the Nike Air Max 93 “Triple is available for purchase at select Swoosh account including Titolo for €151 EUR (approximately $169 USD).
PUMA Match Velcro White
PUMA remakes its classic Match tennis silhouette in the Match Velcro, which replaces the traditional laces with two quick release Velcro straps. Apart from this change, all other features of the model remain the same, including the all-white leather upper, perforated branding, heel logo and sole unit. With its premium “Made in Japan” quality, the PUMA Match Velcro can be bought from select Japanese retailers such as Edifice and Iena for 19,440 JPY (approximately $157 USD).
Jordan Eclipse "Elephant Print"
Jordan Brand introduces the clean “Elephant Print” version of the Jordan Eclipse silhouette. This iteration holds a Wolf Grey/Black-White colorway that outfits the silhouette in a light gray mesh upper with matching gray laces, and features a contrasting white midsole and the Jumpman logos in white on the tongue tab and gray on the heel. You can purchase the Jordan Eclipse “Elephant Print” now at ATAF for approximately $110 USD.

adidas Originals Superstar White/Red JD Sports Exclusive
In conjunction with adidas‘ Originals Superstar White/Black release, JD Sports has also stocked a White/Red colorway. The lowtop counterpart sports an identical design and physical construction — a rubber shell toe; leather three stripes alongside a white leather body, and an elevated midsole. A vibrant, red hue has been applied to the solid three stripes, and dyed back heel tab, completing the simplistic design. Purchase your pair directly from JD Sports for the retail price of £65 GBP (approximately $100 USD).
J.Crew x New Balance 998 "Hilltop Blues"
New Balance and J.Crew have come together once again as a part of the American clothier’s “In Good Company” releases to drop a new take on the fan-favorite 998. Dubbed the “Hilltop Blues,” the summertime kicks take cues from the neighborhood ballparks of the Big Apple to couple a sandy brown mesh base with navy and brown suede paneling, grey laces, hits of reflective 3M, and bright red accents throughout. Complete with the silhouette’s usual ABZORB midsole cushioning, the “Hilltop Blues” edition of the 998 will be available beginning Monday, June 15 online and at select brick-and-mortar J.Crew locations.
