After pulling the plug on its Air Max 1 “Fourth of July” model just earlier this month, Nike is reworking its nationalistic touch on the Air Force 1 ‘07 LV8. Utilizing the patriotic colors of red, white and blue, the iteration arrives in a crisp white leather upper contrasted by a navy midsole and gold AF-1 dubrae. The traditional branded tongue tag is swapped with a contemporary American flag, however the silhouette’s staple panel swoosh in navy and stamped Nike Air heel emblem in red remain.
The Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 LV8 is available now on nike.com for $100 USD.
Following its tongue-only reversed makeover, Nike has revamped the Air Max 1 Premium for a full inside-out treatment. Taking inspiration from Tom Sach’s “Mars Yard” line, this model arrives with a vintage brown suede leather base and overlays of grey and tan on the toebox, quarter, throat, and heel.
The exposed red stitching serves as additional contrast, along with the white Air Max unit and its matching red window. Branding hits can be found on the panel swoosh in a black screen fabric, the flipped Nike Air heel emblem and the displayed size tag on the tongue.
The Nike Air Max 1 Premium is available now on nike.com for $130 USD.
David Tourniaire-Beauciel has dropped a new iteration of his super-chunky Shoes 53045 Bump’Air in “Green Giant,” a colorway inspired by pop culture, his childhood and his favorite things.
The “Green Giant” also introduces a new green-fingered initiative for Shoes 53045. Now, for every sneaker sold, the direct-to-consumer brand will make a donation to have a tree planted. The Balenciaga Triple S designer drew inspiration for this bold colorway from his favorite green vegetables, a green toy train car he played with as a child, Saint Etienne soccer team’s jerseys, the maxi 45 edition of Depeche Mode’s song “Little 15,” green-hues Ferraris and more.
As a result, the Shoes 53045 Bump’Air “Green Giant” is comprised of a polysynthetic leather upper dressed in grassy green hues. Detailing throughout the shoe — from the branding to the laces — is also given a green touch. Its double-bubble sole unit is left clear and sits atop a chunky dark green sole unit.
Take a look at the Shoes 53045 Bump’Air “Green Giant” in the gallery above and pick up your pair now online for $470 USD.
After releasing, not one, but two 80’s-inspired collections to celebrate its third season, Stranger Things has once again teamed-up with Nike on a special range of collaborative sneaker silhouettes. Though the Tailwind 79 first dropped via BAIT’s exclusive San Diego Comic-Con hunt, they now see a wider release alongside a pair of complementary Cortezs.
Instead of the bold colorways featured in the aforementioned packs, this time around the two entities have opted for a toned down textural sail upper. For these, the outer upper can also be faded away to reveal a dark denim inner layer. Additionally, the pairs feature contrasting red hits which dresses the Nike and Stranger Things co-branding on the tongue tabs and insoles, along with the Nike branding on the heels.
So far only the Tailwind 79 and Cortez have released at select retailers such as SSENSE for $165 USD, although the Blazer will likely surface in the near future.
UGG drops its Miwo Trainer High with a trail-ready Vibram Sphike RGS outsole. Arriving in chestnut, Biking Red, black, as well as a special “Sierra” chestnut colorway, the Miwo Trainer features UGG’s enerG Comfort System midsole that promotes the foot’s natural movements, and a rugged Vibram Sphike RGS outsole for maximum grip in the outdoors.
The trainers are crafted in suede with full-grain leather and receive inspiration from Native American designs as seen across the rear in the form of textile prints at the heel, braided leather heel pulls, and patterned tongue tags. Of course, this wouldn’t be an UGG without the presence of its signature 7mm natural wool lining.
Find all four colorways over at atmos-tokyo for a price of ¥24,000 JPY (approximately $220 USD).
