FRESH KICKS:

Few collaborators can say that they have a footwear catalog as gargantuan as Ye. The creative genius and adidas (XETRA:ADS.DE -5.21%) have teamed up on an impressive range of silhouettes, most of which have an impressive amount of colorways in its arsenal. And one that is looking to expand its output this Fall is the adidas YEEZY BOOST 350 CMPCT V2, and we’ve got a closer look at its forthcoming “Slate Bone” colorway.

Only a handful of colorways of this model have actually seen the light of day, but this particular variation is clearly the brightest in presentation. For the uppers, the Three Stripes design crew opts to go with the traditional PrimeKnit build. Most of the ground is dyed in its titular shade, but smaller pockets of a darker gray poke out through the quarter panels where sewing reveals abstract shapes. Down south, the ribbed midsoles are also formed with a milky tint, and they come packed with ample BOOST cushioning for a responsive and comfy ride.

Peep a further look at the pair above, and expect these to land on the shelves come October for the standard $230 USD price point.Continuing to build on the anticipation for the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG SP “Black Phantom,” we now have an on-foot look at the upcoming sneaker. The upcoming take will build on La Flame’s upcoming Cactus Jack x Nike/Jordan Brandcollaborative relationship and introduce a sleek color outlook.

The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG SP “Black Phantom” features low-cut tonal black suede uppers accented by contrasting white stitching. Aside from the reverse Swooshes, regular Swooshes at the medial sides, “NIKE AIR” tongue tag, and Wings motif at the rear. A new bee motif also appears at the rear, along with Cactus Jack logos on the tongue, medial side and insoles. Finishing the design of the shoe are black sole units with contrast stitching and three lace options.

Priced at $150 USD, take an on-foot look at the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG SP “Black Phantom” expected to release December 15 via Nike SNKRS and at select retailers above.

After receiving a first look, we now have another look at the Tom Sachs x NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe “Brown.” The upcoming take serves as the fledgling silhouette’s third colorway following the debut “Light Cream/White/Light Bone” colorway and tonal “Dark Sulfur” take that has surfaced in recent weeks.

The Tom Sachs x NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe “Brown” features low-cut mesh and suede overlay uppers expressing a deep brown tone. Functional detailing comes in the form of black pull tabs, while “NIKE (NYSE:NKE -2.49%) ” debossed at the rear, retro tongue tags and printed insoles help decorate the shoe. The uppers are elevated by thick matching midsoles with contrasting waffle tread black rubber outsoles.

Priced at $110 USD, the Tom Sachs x NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe “Brown” are expected to release later this year.

1989’s Nike (NYSE:NKE -2.49%) Air Flight ‘89 makes a return for 2022 after last being spotted in June of 2020 with a SuperSonics-esque colorway. Originally a Nike Basketball performance silhouette, the Air Flight ‘89 carries a recognizable retro look, especially with its sole unit that was pulled from the iconic Air Jordan 4. Nike now refreshes the Air Flight ‘89 with a “White/Black” that is accented by red, pink and gray hits.

Beginning at the upper, this colorway of the Air Flight ‘89 carries a white leather base that matches its laces and trim while being contrasted by black at the Swooshes, tongue branding, part of the sole unit and various other details. A soft pink begins at the forefoot of the midsole and wraps to the midfoot, resting atop a portion of the rubber outsole in red which matches the tongue and heel branding.

Release for this black and white colorway of the Nike Air Flight ‘89 is expected to take place in the coming months via Nike and select retailers at a price of $120 USD. Take an official look at the pair above and keep an eye out for more colorways to drop before the end of 2022.New Balance has a penchant to re-introduce older silhouettes through collaborative projects. It was successful with models like the 2002R as well as the 550, and it’s already starting to see positive signs with its 1906. The Boston-based imprint aligned with thisisneverthat recently to show off a collaborative take, and now it’s filtering it through footwear retailer size? for a duo of installments. The first iteration was previewed earlier in the month, and now the European retailer is ushering in a brand new teal colorway.

Its fluorescent teal shade takes the charge on size?’s upcoming offering. The Summer-friendly tone is plastered all over the upper mesh build, overlays that sprawl across the toe boxes, mesh tongues, laces and midsole units. Synthetic overlays that are planted onto the quarters, heel cages, tongue banners and insoles come prepared in solid black.

Peep an early look at the pair above and sit tight for further word on their official launch.One pro for being a retailer that’s been in the sneaker game for long enough is that it’ll sometimes have the luxury to participate in collaborative projects and receive exclusive products. One example is YCMC — a retailer that’s based out of Baltimore, Maryland — which often partners up with New Balance to release special colorways. We’ve previously seen the duo link up to produce 992 and 990v5 iterations, and now they’ve reunited to create a minimalistic 990v3.

Brighter neutral tones sit front and center of this latest installment. The buttery pig suede overlays that are planted along the front, quarters and heels are dialed to a crispy “Nimbus Cloud” hue while the mesh underlays and overlays that are stationed on the toe boxes and collars contrast in “Kool Grey.” The simplistic palette is a nod to the original 990v3’s signature grey makeup, but it’s been slightly tweaked to be extremely versatile.

Peep a further look at the pair in-depth in the gallery above, and note that YCMC is set to release these on August 25 in men’s and grade school sizes. Retail for the adult pair is set at $195 USD while the grade school pairs will cost $170 USD.
