As a part of its spring releases, Jordan Brand will commemorate skate culture with a special trio of Air Jordan 1 Lows. Basketball wasn’t the only sport that welcomed the Air Jordan 1 with open arms and the forthcoming batch shares an appreciation for skate culture and its community. Each model sees slightly wider uppers along with added padding around the ankle areas. In addition, some logos are shifted around with Air Jordan 1’s “WINGS” insignia being added to the heel instead of the tongue. You’ll also find Jumpman and 23 hits flowing down each tongue. The forthcoming releases host three colorway options in a mix of sail, gym red and university gold along with white, gum and hyper pink. Lastly, you’ll find a “Black Toe” version for the final pair.
The forthcoming group of Air Jordan 1 Lows is expected to arrive this spring at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. Browse through our exclusive imagery and let us know which version stands out to you the most.
Jordan Brand is set to enter the spring with a new selection of Flight Utility designs. This time around the upcoming Jordan Proto-React gears up for the warm weather ahead with a bright yellow upper – equipped with its signature heel strap. Just below the bold yellow you’ll find a white midsole and sail React Foam outsole. Although tonal, Jumpman branding is subtly visible on its expected locations such as the aforementioned strap in addition to the tongue and heel’s pull tabs.
The Proto-React is not the only Jordan model to see a bright yellow rendition — the classic Jordan 1 also receives the vivid canary shade for its “Yellow Toe” drop.
This colorway of the Jordan Proto-React is expected to arrive in the coming weeks for $150 USD at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com.
Speaking to CNBC yesterday, adidas CEO Kasper Rorsted revealed that over 20 YEEZY releases would be coming out in 2019, and now, the label’s newly dropped mixed-material boots are kicking things off. Offered in two colorways, the YEEZY Season 7 footwear takes inspiration from the military through a hiking-influenced silhouette.
The shoes are constructed with suede, nubuck and mesh, with colorway options including “Wakame” green and “House Blue.” Matching round laces create a tonal look, while the patched design on the upper forms different shades of the blue and green tones, casting a textural aesthetic. The boots are lined with mesh, with other key details including a rounded toe and padded tongue with a reflective fabric pull-tab. A thick, rubber tread sole finishes off the style.
YEEZY’s Mixed-Material Boots are priced at $295 USD. Both the “House Blue” and “Wakame” versions are available to purchase now on Barneys website.
Jordan Brand is joining Nike in this year’s Air Max Day celebration with a special edition of the Air Jordan 3 Tinker. The forthcoming drop celebrates two of Tinker Hatfield‘s most esteemed designs: the Air Jordan 3 and the Air Max 1. Michael Jordan’s third silhouette receives an Air Max 1 “University Red” makeover showcasing a white base with red accents on its mudguard, behind the tongue and on additional branding points – including the Nike Air hit on the heel. Similar to the sneaker’s Oregon Ducks PE, the pair arrives with interchangeable Swooshes in white, red, elephant print and reflective options.
The Air Jordan 3 Tinker “Air Max 1” arrives on March 30 at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike SNKRS for $220 USD.
atmos and adidas have teamed up for a barbershop-themed Yung-1, adding a nostalgic twist to the retro-influenced chunky sneaker.
Drawing inspiration from the traditional barbershop pole, the atmos x adidas collaborative pair sees a mixture of vintage white nubuck, metallic silver leather and white mesh form the uppers, with hits of red, white and blue on the Three Stripes and lining. Sitting atop a sculpted and chunky torsion-equipped EVA midsole unit in white and a split red and blue sole, the special edition Yung-1 comes complete with white-on-silver trefoil branding and retro flat white laces.
Highlighted in a vintage barbershop editorial video, this Yung-1 is arguably one of the more standout iterations in its roster. The classic colorway lends itself well to the sneakers overlapping panelling and reinterpreted Falcon Dorf look, adding a hit of Japanese sophistication and fun to the typical general release sneaker.
The atmos x adidas Yung-1 “Barbershop” will release on March 16 for $130 USD via atmos and select adidas Originals retailers.
Popular for nearly four decades, the Nike Air Force 1 Low has been built with more materials and colors than one can count, and now, Swoosh is releasing a new ”Muslin-Desert Ore” colorway for the classic silhouette.
The entire design comes in a uniform soft tan shade, its tonal simplicity complimenting the rough and textured muslin used to construct the shoe. Unlike Nike’s other single-colored models, however, this new colorway does away with the classic stitched-on tongue patch and opts instead for a white painted take on branding. Hints of grey can also be found on the embroidering at the heel, right below an embroidered NYC swoosh graphic.
Available March 18, the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Muslin-Desert Ore” will retail at $110 USD. New York vintage store Procell has revealed that the shoe will drop in time for Nike’s NYC Editions event, with a matching hoodie and sweatpant set launching alongside the textural sneaker. Check out the goods in detail below.
In other Air Force 1 news, Nike’s about to drop them in a white and yellow colorway.
