Nike Free Hypervenom Mid "Villain Red"
Newly available from Nike Sportswear alongside all-white and black versions of the unique hybrid — as well as the upcoming “Shine Through” iteration — is a “Villain Red” edition of the Free Hypervenom Mid. Donning a tonal upper of leather and synthetics, the silhouette takes cues from Nike’s Hypervenom boot and couples the design with a mid-top cut and low profile Free 3.0 sole unit. Finished with matching laces and a dash of reflective 3M on the heel, the “Villain Red” version of the Free Hypervenom Mid is now available via Nike.com for $115 USD.
BAIT x adidas Originals EQT Running Support "The Big Apple"
adidas teams up with BAIT to reinvent one of the brand’s most iconic silhouettes — the EQT Running Support. This new iteration, named “The Big Apple,” introduces a unique combination of color blocking paying homage to New York City. All four sides of the shoe has its own distinct style, with a color scheme inspired by the Statue of Liberty, resulting in a frost mint/viridian green upper. Hints of apple red highlights the shoe while the contrasting black and white ties the design together. The material consists of a premium nubuck leather with alternating textures and a lightweight EVA midsole decorated with a subtle black and red splatter. The “SUPERIOR” lacelocks are inspired by BAIT’s motto of providing “Superior Quality Goods.” Each pair comes with three lace options in black, apple red and frost mint. The BAIT x adidas EQT Running Support “The Big Apple” launches January 31, coinciding with the opening of BAIT Seattle. Retailing for $160 USD, the shoe will be available in all four BAIT locations along with a limited quantity online via raffle. Registration for a chance to purchase online is open here now.
Footpatrol x New Balance M1500FPK "Encyclopaedia"
London-based independent sneaker store Footpatrol joins New Balance to produce a new rendition of the M1500FPK silhouette entitled “Encyclopaedia.” Paying homage to the Britannica Encyclopaedia, the latest New Balance M1500 model features a premium black suede and leather upper accented with gold details along the side panels and tongue. New Balance branding is featured throughout the silhouette as a signature embroidered “N” logo decorates the medial side. Additional branding details outfit an aged white midsole personifying the aesthetic of the yellow bound pages of an encyclopedia. A contoured rubber outsole provides the finishing touch to the sleek model. Anticipate the Footpatrol x New Balance M1500FPK “Encyclopaedia” to release on January 24 at Footpatrol’s online store.
Nike SB Blazer Low GT "Stratosphere"
The latest “Support Your Local” drop from Nike SB pays homage to pro skater Grant Taylor‘s family skate shop in Atlanta. Aptly dubbed the “Stratosphere,” the latest Blazer Low GT features a “Cinnabar” suede upper — inspired by Georgia’s red clay — along with a black leather Swoosh, white foxing, a gum rubber outsole, and brown leather hits to the tongue and heel. Finally, an outline of the state of Georgia appears at the heel while the custom insoles sport a detailed map of the shop’s Little 5-Points neighborhood.
The “Stratosphere” edition of the Blazer Low GT is set to hit Nike SB spots and Nike.com this Friday, January 23 for $85 USD.
adidas J Wall 1 "DC Blue"
It’s a good time to be John Wall. In a season that has seen the Raleigh-born guard lead his Washington Wizards to the near-peak of the Eastern Conference, Wall has also seen the release of his signature shoe with adidas – here found in a celebratory “DC Blue” colorway. Celebrating the nation’s capital and the special bond he’s formed with Washingtonian fans, here we find the tech-forward silhouette done with a deep navy blue upper, contrasted by red hits at the ankle guard and clever ‘JW-Crossover’ tongue logo. A fitting shoe to channel your inner superstar on the court, pick up the J Wall 1 “DC Blue” at adidas Basketball retailers beginning February 6.
Nike Air Flare "Persian Violet"
As promised, the “Persian Violet” colorway of Andre Agassi‘s Nike Air Flare is set for a return this spring to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the original release. Featuring a color palette that resembles that of the Air Jordan 8 “Aqua” — which is rumored to be returning in “Remastered” form for a Black Friday release later this year — the “Persian Violet” edition of the underrated tennis kicks don a black upper of mesh, suede, and synthetics and feature aqua hits to the embroidered Swoosh and heel pull tab while the shoe’s namesake purple hue appears on the otherwise black sole unit. The latest Air Flare release is already available via Tokyo’s Kinetics and will likely pop up soon at additional NSW retailers across the globe.
