The connection between adidas and Germany is tightly intertwined, but the relationship between the Germans who wear the sneakers and ride the BVG (Berlin Verkehrsbetriebe) is just as tight. That’s why the label is paying homage to the transit authority with its latest EQT Support 93/17.
Featuring a BOOST midsole, the shoe sees its lateral side with a black knit upper with grey nubuck details while opposite has white inner toe stitching with the medial vamp featuring a collection of embroidered shapes –one being a yellow heart in reference to a BVG campaign. The laces are pixelated in black and yellow with the asymmetrical heel panel employing the same pattern scheme of the vehicles’ seats. Interestingly, the tongue embodies a mock ticket yet grants wearers a year’s access to the BVG.
With only 500 being made, the shoes will be available for €180 EUR (approximately $215 USD) only at Overkill in Berlin.
The beloved New Balance 999 silhouette receives a pastel-colored variant to kick off the new year. The classic runner is now swathed in beige and tan hues alongside blue accents for a smooth look. For construction details, the shoe receives its signature shaggy suede and nubuck uppers with a rubber ABZORB outsole to boot.
Peep the new colorway above and purchase it now at Feature Sneaker Boutique for approximately $180 USD.
Nike‘s versatile Speed Turf Max is gearing up for a return. Popularized by notable NFL names such as Dan Marino and Steve Young, the silhouette will soon hit retail shelves in the 49ers’ popular color combination of White/Metallic Gold-Black-Gym Red. The sneaker sees a visible Air Max unit in its heel to go along with a midfoot strap. Signature Nike branding is implemented on its tongue, heel, and both lateral and medial sides with a rugged pattern on its outsole making it perfect for a variety of surfaces.
The Nike Speed Turf Max will release at select Nike Sporstwear retailers in February. Stay tuned for additional info regarding this launch and let us know if you plan on adding this retro to your personal closet.
‘Lo heads, rejoice. Nike is preparing to drop an Air Max 1 with a color palette inspired by a most recognizable SNOW BEACH pull-over jacket. Yellow, red, and navy hues adorn the classic low-top that reflect the outerwear piece purveyed by the Polo Ralph Lauren offshoot in the late ’80s. Hip-hop fans will be sure to point the jacket out in Raekwon’s “Can It Be All So Simple” music video (1: 20-mark in the clip below). For full nostalgia effect, the Swoosh even embellished the sneaker with plastic “AIR MAX” tags on the heel caps that pay homage to the Air Max 93 silhouette. Lastly, crisp white midsoles are added to the silhouette for a clean contrast.
Check out the iteration above and purchase the shoe at select international retailers on January 11. Pricing details have yet to be confirmed.
