During Paris Fashion Week this past June, COMME des GARÇONS HOMME presented its eclectic Spring/Summer 2018 range that included a new footwear collaboration with Nike. The partnered offering consists of the Air Max 180 silhouette in three vibrant colorways swathed in “Laser Pink” with either red, black or pink accents. Courtesy of Japanese sneaker blog US11, we are given a possible drop date for the collaborative models. Undoubtedly, this pack will be a huge hit amongst sneaker enthusiasts.
Check out select variants above and expect a launch on February 1, 2018 at select COMME des GARÇONS HOMME and Nike retailers. Each sneaker is also rumored to set you back approximately ¥16,200 JPY (approximately $144 USD).
The last official Stone Island collaboration we saw were the NikeLab Sock Darts that dropped in January 2017. Although the Italian-label has been quiet in the footwear world, Dominic Chambrone aka The Shoe Surgeon recently teased a one-of-a-kind OVO x Stone Island runner made specifically for none-other than artist Drake.
The reworked OVO x Air Jordan 12 Retro gets an all-black treatment covered in a leather ribbed ankle collar. Stone Island hits are seen on the denim toe-wrap and logo on the heel. The sneaker artisan combines more diverse fabric, finishing the midsole in Japanese plonge leather.
This is the second iteration gifted to the ‘Take Care’ rapper following a blue version in celebration of his 31st birthday. While the shoe is a custom, those interested can try requesting on The Shoe Surgeon’s website.

First teased in the NAKED x adidas Consortium collaboration back in August, adidas Originals reveals the highly-anticipated ARKYN in Ash Pearl.
The new silhouette sports a familiar NMD look, but sees a distinct sock-style Primeknit upper with a dual-tone lacing system. The Ash Pearl rendition features a beige upper with a mesh overlay alongside contrasting green stripes and a blue cage. Continuing iconic elements, the ARKYN mesh gets signature BOOST in the heel followed by a blue heel line embellished on the white midsole and full blue outsole.
Currently only available in Asia for $155 USD, we expect the the ARKYN pack, which includes black and white versions, to drop in upcoming months on adidas.com and select retailers like Upclassics.
The well-liked adidas UltraBOOST now into its 4.0 edition receives yet another update, this time in the form of an uncaged version. Releasing in an official “Grey/Grey” colorway, the lightweight runner features a heathers grey Primeknit upper with subtle stripe branding across the toe. The look is finished with a minimalist heel cup and dark grey ankle collar.
The shoe is currently retailing at stockists like Feature Sneaker Boutique for $180 USD.
After a big year like 2017, Nike plans to start of the next with a celebratory black and gold pack which is expected to include the Air Max 90, Air Max Plus, Air Presto Fly and Air Max Zero. The designs of each shoe are kept subtle, balancing small details of gold with varying textures of black layered on the uppers and black soles to match.
Take a closer look at the photos above, and expect to see the sneakers at stockists like Foot Locker on January 1.
