PUMA has quietly been dropping heat in 2018, with releases like the PUMA Cell Venom sneaker, the PUMA Clyde Court, the footwear brand is slowly giving sneakerheads more exciting new alternatives.
The most recent drop of the RS-X Reinvention features two brand new colorways, one a “Light Sky/Peacot” and the other a “White/Red Blast” iteration of the sneaker. The robust silhouette features PUMA’s Running System cushioning tech in the midsole and is finished with leather and suede overlays.
Those interested can head over to puma.com, or other select stockists like FEATURE, where the PUMA RS-X Reinvention retails for $110 USD.
Embedding the Japanese fashion house’s signature collaging and layering into the design, the collaborative high-top Blazer Mid incorporates overlapping, lateral Swoosh motifs as well as two sets of laces fastened onto the lacing system. The black and “Wolf Grey” upper juxtaposing with the rugged white outsole, is detailed with a worn-out, double padded tongue tab.
A similar Blazer Mid iteration surfaced on the runway, maintaining key features of its predecessor. The new update sees the sporty-classy hybrid matching with sacai’s collection. Laces are replaced with a front zip fastening, whereas the toebox is adorned with black tassels.
Along with the duplicated Swoosh insignias, the off white mesh upper of the Waffle Racer features detachable faux-fur interweaving with the laces, while a darker shade of grey outlines the lace stays, mudguard and the heel cap. The design rounds off with an extended welt which slants inward to join the white rubber outsole.
As reported way back in June of 2018, the Air Jordan 6 “Black/Infrared” is making a comeback, and an All-Star Weekend release has been confirmed.
The iconic sneaker that was worn by Michael as he took down the Lakers for his first of six championships in 1991, this AJ6 sports a mostly black nubuck construction with bright hits of red, or “infrared,” on the midsole, tongue and heel. The photo above is of the 2014 version, but the only difference we’ll see next month is a switch from the Jumpman logo at the heel and insole, back to the original “Nike Air” branding.
The Air Jordan “Black/Infrared” will release on February 16, as confirmed by Foot Locker UK’s release calendar. Although Nike has yet to confirm the release, it has shown up on nike.com (check his feet). It’s shaping up to be a busy weekend for Jordan Brand, as the AJ1 “Turbo Green” is also set to drop during ASW.
London-based designer Eastwood Danso has given a first look at an upcoming collaboration with Converse. The rugged silhouette sees the Chuck Taylor reworked into a hiking boot, with functionality and durability placed front and center by the emerging designer.
The stand-out feature of the shoe is its oversized sole, while other utilitarian detailing includes additional lace hooks across the canvas upper and hiking-style laces that sit alongside the typical lacing system. As it stands, there is no news on an exact release date for the silhouette, although Danso described it as “the beginning of a collaboration which is going to carry on through my next season.”
After a few closer looks, frequent collaborators BAPE and adidas have finally unveiled the official imagery for their highly-anticipated UltraBOOST silhouette.
Featured in two distinct colorways, one dressed in signature 1ST CAMO while the other takes on a “Black” makeover, each model’s Primeknit upper is swathed in BAPE’s ubiquitous camo print while the German’s Three Stripe branding is prominent on the TPU cage. A black heel cap, murdered-out BOOST midsole, gold co-branding, and an APE Head tongue tab decor decorated like the American flag with STAS in place of regular stars round out each pair.
The BAPE x adidas UltraBOOST are expected to drop on February 2, just ahead of Super Bowl LIII. The collection will also comprise of a football jersey, helmet, pigskin football, and the adidas Adizero 5-Star cleat.
