FRESH KICKS:

Back in October, we got a sneak peek at the Nike Air More Uptempo “CHI,” and it now looks like the upcoming “City Pack” will be adding the Nike Air More Uptempo “ATL” to its roster. A first look at the latest colorway, inspired by the city of Atlanta, depicts the Air More Uptempo embossed with bold “ATL” lettering swathed in green and outlined in gold. The underlying upper is built from white leather and features perforated detailing, while the gold Swoosh branding takes up its familiar Air More Uptempo position on the toecap and heel of the rubber outsole.
The “City Pack,” that is also rumored to include a New York edition, has yet to receive an official release date but you can expect it to arrive sometime during the holiday season. Be sure to keep it locked for further details, but until then, let us know if you’ll be repping A-town come Christmas.
In other footwear news, Montana Cans & Reebok give the classic leather a spray-painted twist.


New Balance is back with a special “Winter Peaks” edition of its Made US 998 silhouette. Inspired by the colder months, navy and turquoise coloring make its way onto the sneaker that’s dominated in white coloring. Premium pig suede meets leather materials as its placed on the toebox, heel and midfoot paneling. The model’s traditional “N” logo returns to each lateral and medial side while perforated detailing makes its way onto the heel.
Retailing for $180 USD, the New Balance Made US 998 will launch on December 1 via select New Balance retailers and New Balance’s official website.


Back in October, official images surfaced of Nike’s Air VaporMax Moc model in its “Multicolor” iteration. As of today, a confirmed release date has been shared for the Swoosh’s latest edition of the model. Flyknit returns and the laces are swapped for a lateral-side gore strap for a premium lock down. Atop of its blacked-out VaporMax unit is the returning “Multicolor” pattern presented on the aforementioned Flyknit. Nike’s branding completes the design as it’s presented on the strap and tongue.
Retailing for $200 USD, Nike’s Air VaporMax Moc “Multicolor” is scheduled for a November 27 (Cyber Monday) drop date at select Nike retailers and Nike SNKRS app.


Just yesterday, we took a look at a winter-ready version of adidas’ famed NMD R1 silhouette, which saw that lifestyle crossover take on a textured wool heel. And now, new images have surfaced of a new tonal variation, with the upper being swathed in a deep olive hue. Sitting directly below is a black BOOST midsole — adding ample color contrast to the new design.
Much like its core black counterpart, the new adidas NMD R1 “Wool Heel” in olive is available now at JD Sports.


Kobe Bryant continues to make waves off the court with the debut of a brand new silhouette — the Nike Mamba Rage. The latest addition to the Kobe line has a lot to live up to given the recent NBA-based success of the Kobe AD, but we aren’t about to doubt the Mamba.
The new silhouette is inspired by previous Kobe models, featuring an outsole looking incredibly similar to the one used on the Mamba Instinct. The inaugural iteration of the Rage line arrives with a primarily black upper that features an 8-bit, snakeskin-like pattern just above the white midsole. A large Mamba logo that embellishes the top of the shoe’s tongue and a snakeskin heel tab are the other notable features of an otherwise subtle colorway.
There has yet to be any official release information on this model, so stay tuned and let us know your thoughts on the latest addition to the Nike Kobe collection. Keeping with basketball-inspired shoes, Nike unleashed the eccentric “What The Kyrie” S1HYBRID.
