FRESH KICKS:

The fragment design x Air Jordan 1 Is Selling at Marshalls for $60 USD
The fragment design x Air Jordan 1 was at the top of most sneakerheads‘ Christmas lists when it released back in December of 2014. Originally priced at $185 USD, the kicks were so high in demand that prices on the resell market shot up to 10 times the retail listing. However in a peculiar turn of events the ultra-rare sneakers have, without reason, been popping up on the shelves of Marshalls where they have been selling for a modest $60 USD. Lucky customers have been posting their finds on Instagram as recently as Friday. While it may be a long shot, taking a trip to your nearest Marshalls might just be worth it for some of you.

Last year, the FILA Bubbles silhouette was pulled out of the vault and reintroduced for the first time since 1997. This year, fans and collectors who missed out on the Black Friday 2015 retro have another chance to purchase the chunky hightop sneaker this week in its OG colorway. With a black and white upper constructed with a combination of mesh, tumbled leather and FILA buck, the shoe’s main feature is a hard-to-ignore series of four bubbles embedded into the midsole which increase in size from the toe to the heel. Inside the clear spheres, F-I-L-A branding is spelled out letter by letter, which, in conjunction with the unique lacing system, makes for a throwback profile that’s guaranteed to grab the attention of those around you.
Look out for the FILA Bubble releasing on December 16 with a custom draw box with branded tissue paper on FILA.com for $100 USD (men’s sizes) and $75 USD (kid’s sizes).

Jordan Brand's Son of Mars Returns With A "Black Metallic" Colorway
Jordan Brand is set to release a “Black Metallic” colorway of its hybrid Son of Mars silhouette. Inspired by the OG “Metallic Silver” Air Jordan 5, the latest iteration features a premium black leather upper with perforations found on the ankle area. Jumpman logos on the tongue, heel and shark teeth found on the midsole are done in metallic silver, and an icy blue translucent outsole rounds up the design of the shoe.  Retailing at $160 USD, the Air Jordan Son Of Mars “Black Metallic” colorway will be available January 1 at Jordan Brand retailers.

The iconic Samba silhouette will receive a subtle remix with the adidas Skateboarding Samba ADV. Introduced in the ’50s as a soccer boot intended to combat wintery turf, the celebrated design of the Samba has mostly stayed true to the original, keeping the classic T-toe and tan gum sole features since the ’70s through all of its evolutions. The latest iteration of the Samba lineage, the Samba ADV, combines the Three Stripes’s rich soccer heritage with skateboarding design and functionality, fortifying the silhouette’s ability to transcend style, athletics and culture. Designed with skateboarding needs in mind, the Samba ADV features a suede and leather upper for durability, internal mesh bootie for responsive fit, molded heel clip and sockliner for support, directional tread for precision grip and the classic gum cupsole. In honor of the release, adidas SB Pro team riders Rodrigo TX, Benny Fairfax and Tyshawn Jones rip up the streets of Sao Paulo, London and New York City in the celebrated shoe. Retailing for $75 USD, the Samba ADV will be available on January 1 at specialty adidas retailers in the U.S. and the adidas SB website.

The North Face and WHIZ LIMITED Release the Classic Mountain Boot
have joined forces for this limited edition and highly sought-after Mountain Boot. Last year, with only 100 pairs in black and brown released to the public, the Mountain Boot flew off the shelves and immediately sold out.

Special details include bright blue WHIZ mixed rope laces and stitched midsole welt lining. This edition of the Mountain Boot will be even more limited than last year’s, so keep an eye out for the release, which is slated to drop on January 2 next year.
