FRESH KICKS:

The upcoming Supreme x Nike SB Air Force II isn’t the only pair of bold orange kicks Nike has on the way. After surfacing late last month in a clean “Mushroom” look, the Swoosh’s popular SF-AF1 Mid is returning this fall in perhaps its most eye-catching look to date. A mid-top alternative of sorts to the Desert Ochre/Total Orange iteration of the SF-AF1 High, the kicks see their technical military boot-inspired upper dressed entirely in “Team Orange” while a white air-cushioned midsole and silver lacing grommets provide the lone contrasts.
Expect these to touch down at NSW spots worldwide in the weeks ahead.

Closely following up its “Rise” rendition, which was part of Nike’s promotional tools for its Asia Basketball Tour, the Kobe A.D. Mid has just surfaced in a brand new color scheme. Dubbed “Baseline,” the hoops model features a clean white upper, “Sail”-hued midsole and a gum rubber outsole sitting just below.
Kobe Bryant’s latest silhouette spotlights a textured finish with a stitched 3D effect, a web-like component landing on the ankle collar and signature branding found on the tongue, side panel, heel and midsole areas. Set to retail for $150 USD, look for this new design at select Nike stockists and online sometime in October. Be sure to check back for updates.

Previously seen in all-black as part of Y-3′s 2017 fall/winter footwear collection, the luxurious yet rugged Ryo High model is back boasting a different color scheme. Its open design returns while the buckle on its entry and zipper along its ankle return too. The model rests atop of a trail-ready outsole unit as its upper is dominated by Black Olive throughout. Its detachable waterproof and windproof lace cover also makes its way back into the fold while suede and mesh are found on the upper as well.
Approximately $420 USD, this iteration of the Y-3 Ryo High is currently available at select retailers such as Sneakersnstuff.


Reebok has been known to deliver subtle cult classics that always stay relevant in the sneaker community. This time around in conjunction with Packer Shoes, a signature look on the Workout Lo Plus model has been flipped. Normally we’d see Reebok placing gum coloring on its outsole, but now it’s been placed throughout the entire upper while the aforementioned sole unit sports white coloring.
Retailing for $120 USD, the Packer x Reebok Workout Lo Plus in “Reverse Gum” will launch on September 8 online and in-store at both Packer Shoes locations at 12pm  EST.
