Nike continues to roll out more sneaker silhouettes in tribute to Black History Month, with its latest coming in the form of the Air Force 1 High. Part of its “BHM” collection, the design draws inspiration from the Pan-African flag, with a tricolored pattern of red, black and green running across the front. Tumbled black leather and a white sole unit round out the construction, while pops of metallic gold found on the tongue branding and heel side BHM emblem adds a subtle touch of opulence.
Retailing for a price of $130 USD, you can look for the Nike Air Force 1 High “BHM” at select Nike stockists on February 1. In case you missed it, Nike recently revealed its 2018 Equality Black History Month collection.
With a few first looks surfacing over the past couple of days, the impeding Dragon Ball Z x adidas collaboration will hands-down be one of this year’s most sought-after drops. The team-up between the sportswear giant and beloved anime was initially announced last year by famed sneaker insider Yeezy Mafia. It is said that the pair up will be incorporating seven special edition sneakers to represent each of the Dragon Balls. So far we have received a first look at the Cell, Frieza, Majin Buu and Goku-inspired silhouettes.
Now the final images of the collaboration have surfaced, this time showcasing Vegeta, Gohan, and the spiritual dragon Shenron. For Vegeta the Oregon Ultra Tech silhouette is used featuring the characters signature blue, yellow, and white colorway on the upper matched with a solid black midsole. Shenron’s makes use of the EQT Support ADV Mid featuring a mostly green Primeknit upper with hits of gold and red throughout. Finally Gohan’s minimalist Deerupt model sees an all-over purple upper and midsole.
Also according to the latest teaser, the Dragon Ball Z x adidas collaboration models look to be dropping throughout the months of August, September, November and December. Stay tuned for an official announcement and photos from adidas.
For The Shoe Surgeon’s latest creation, the artist created the “French Rose White Toe Jordan 4.” Using a pair of Air Jordan 4s, the handcrafted silhouette is made with imported French rose nubuck leather with white matte python leather located at the toe panel of the shoe. Only ten pairs will be released to the general public and it will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis on January 17 via The Shoe Surgeon’s website.

Nike and Paul George are back to unveil the sequel to PG’s first signature sneaker. Designed by Tony Hardman, its presentation keeps things simple by removing the midfoot strap seen on the Nike PG1. In addition, the model incorporates “dynamic wings” at the forefoot to provide the same lockdown as the aforementioned strap would. Nike’s PG2 also moves away from its bootie construction for a more traditional look. The Zoom Air unit has also been increased to 10 millimeters for heightened response and propulsion. Finally, traction is improved via the sole unit’s outrigger and overall dynamic pattern.
The inaugural colorway of Nike’s PG2 will welcome special design cues placing emphasis on George’s love for gaming. Remaining faithful to Sony’s PlayStation systems, the PG2 incorporates a light up tongue, speckled midsole, starry insole graphic and subtle button graphics. Nike worked alongside the PlayStation team on the colorway’s detailing in addition to the aforementioned starry graphic that’ll be available for your personal PS4 thanks to a code that comes with the sneaker.
Paul George will debut the Nike PG2 tonight as the Oklahoma City Thunder face off against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Nike PG2 “PS2” will officially release at select Nike Basketball retailers on February 10.
