FRESH LADIES SUMMER KICKS:

adidas‘ Yung-1 emerges in a newly designed model dubbed “Snakeskin.” Most recently, the silhouette received a pastel revamp.

Detailing on the latest pair features desert-inspired overlays on top of the snakeskin upper and an off-white midsole. Additional specs include, a subtle gum outsole paired with tonal lacing. Lastly, we spot the iconic Three Stripes in a cream hue in linen which provides a contrast against the faux leather upper.

adidas’ Yung-1 “Snakeskin” drops on May 24 at select retailers like adidas.com and Sneakersnstuff’s website for $149 USD.

Following the reveal of its Pride Pack earlier this month, adidas Originals is adding another silhouette to the lineup. This time around, it is the Temper Run seeing a colorful makeover, getting dressed in a pastel “Ice Yellow” and “Blue Tint.” In addition to the vibrant panelling, the signature Three Stripes take inspiration from the rainbow LGBTQ+ flag, seeing outlines in tones like yellow, orange and red.

Finished off with adidas’ signature Trefoil logo on the insole in a rainbow design, the shoe is the ideal sneaker to add to you rotation before Pride month kicks off. The adidas Originals Temper Run “Pride” is set to release online at adidas on May 31.

Just in time for summer, adidas is giving its popular Falcon sneaker a fresh update. Dressing the chunky silhouette in Pantone‘s color of the year, “Living Coral,” the sneaker sees a panelled upper in tones of “Ecru Tint,” “Icey Pink” and “True Pink,” all adding a gradient fade to the sleek shoe. Combining suede and mesh, the Falcon also gets an eye-catching texture ideal for mixing and matching. Sat atop a crisp, white midsole, the shoe sports contrasting white laces as well as the Three Stripes’ Trefoil logo at the lateral.

The adidas Falcon “Coral/True Pink” is hitting shelves on May 31, and will retail at approximately $107 USD at adidas.

Nike has been releasing a handful of summer-ready sneakers this month, and the latest silhouette to receive a seasonal treatment is the retro-inspired Cortez trainer. This time around the fan-favorite sees an all-over leather material coated in  a beige “Desert Ore” hue, contrasted by the shoe’s signature Swoosh in “Deep Royal Blue.” Finishing off the trainer is the heel tab in a vibrant red, as well as the jagged outsole in white with red detailing.

The seasonal take on the Nike Cortez is now available in “Desert Ore/Deep Royal Blue” over at Feature, where it retails at $70 USD.

Nike has been pumping out releases just in time for summer, ranging from collaborations with Chitose Abe‘s label sacai to seasonal takes on the retro Nike Cortez, and now a new iteration of the classic Air Max 97 is joining the Swoosh’s lineup.

This time around, the silhouette sees an upper covered in a metallic “Nightshade-Blue,” “Spirit Teal” as well as black and white panelling, complete with a white mudguard travelling across the shoe. The classic Air unit sees a translucent blue hue contrasted by a black outsole, and the sneaker is finished off with clean, white laces.

For all the sneakerheads out there looking to turn heads with the most outrageous new kicks, set your eyes on Nike‘s latest release for your next must-cop trainers: the Air Max 720 Saturn. Reworking its futuristic 2018-released AM 720 silhouette, the new model takes the sleek design one step further with a sky-high boot profile. Perhaps closest in resemblance to a space boot, the Saturn’s features are just as galactic to match.

As a marriage of both form and functionality, the boot’s interior is constructed with a black neoprene sleeve that optimizes support and wearability. The feature works in tandem with a customary lacing system running up the foot. On the exterior, luxe leather panels in white are placed alongside blue segments that showcase blue and white Nike Air Max branding. The color palette is complemented by a large Swoosh outline rendered in neon pink splashed across the side panel, as well as the 720’s unmistakable Air Max sole rendered in an icy, translucent blue tone. Rounding off the look is a stylish buckle closure that wraps around the heel of the foot.

The Nike Air Max 720 Saturn is slated to drop some time this summer at Nike in-store and online, as well as at select stockists. Clocking in with a $200 USD price tag, this release is definitely on the pricier end of the spectrum. Would you cop this formidable sneaker boot?
