Every sneaker brand this season seems to have incorporated an all-white version of their flagship model into the fold, and here Ewing Athletics follows suit with its latest version of the 33 Hi silhouette. The complex high-top basketball sneaker – which was the first release from Ewing Athletics’ inaugural line in 1989 – is here delivered with a timeless white leather upper and supportive sole system. Off-white hints at the collar and ankle strap add a sense of luxury to this pair, sure to make a statement wherever they appear. Pick up this release from Ewing Athletics in the coming weeks at retailers such as SNKRS.

Designed for those who train hard, the Nike WMNS Free 5.0 TR Fit 5 Print silhouette now comes in a ‘Lava Glow’ colorway. This trainer provides an exceptional level of cushioning and support all the while minimizing bulk creating a lightweight, high-performance shoe that is designed to mimic the feel of bare feet. With a monochromatic mesh upper and cushioned foam midsole, it all sits atop a lava-inspired Free 5.0 outsole with flex grooves which assists in drastic change of explosive movements. The new colorway is now available through select Nike retailers like Sneaker Politics for $110 USD.

Following a closer look at the initial release of the Nike Air Force 1 High “Nai Ke,” Nike unveils a new red iteration of the high-top sneaker. Boasting a premium leather upper construction along the classic high-top silhouette, the latest “Nai Ke” iteration of the Nike Air Force 1 High highlights all-red accents throughout the design as complementing white details along the Nike “Swoosh” logo and tongue balance the vibrant aesthetic. Chinese characters adorn the heel tab as a matching red outsole finishes the exclusive model. Having been released exclusively in Asia and Australia, anticipate further news on a possible U.S. release date for the latest Nike Air Force 1 High “Nai Ke” in the near future.

Coming soon from Nike Sportswear is the brand new Air Max Invigar. Due out later this year on the occasion of the Air Max 95′s 20th anniversary, the new silhouette essentially takes the original runner and injects the classic with a number of contemporary technologies. Seen here in the aforementioned 95′s iconic “Neon” colorway, the new Invigar employs a number of OG stylistic cues — including the shoe’s signature gradient and overall shape — but now sees a streamlined upper that ditches multilayered paneling in favor of breathable mesh and Hyperfuse while the sole’s full-length Max Air unit has been scrapped in favor of Max Air in the heel and forefoot Free tooling. Check out the kicks above and look for the Air Max Invigar to hit NSW accounts worldwide in the near future.

Originally released yesterday as part of an uber-limited $400 USD pack, the “Radioactive” edition of Detroit Lions superstar Calvin Johnson’s new CJ3 Flyweave Trainer is now available on its own. Boasting a combination of Photo Blue, Bright Crimson and Volt, the new low-top design sees a lightweight Flyweave upper for breathability and a superior fit while a Phylon midsole works in conjunction with Zoom Air pods on the outsole to provide plush cushioning, multidirectional flexibility and a zoned response. Finally, Flywire cables wrap the midfoot for both support and lateral lockdown.
Finished with nubby delta nodes on the bottom of the Zoom Air pods for multi-surface grip and traction, Megatron’s “Radioactive” CJ3 Flyweave Trainer is now available from nike.com for $160 USD.

Priced at ¥17,000 JPY (approximately $142 USD), the light grey colorway of the ASICS GEL-Lyte III “Laser Cut” is available for purchase at select accounts including atmos.

Nike unveils the latest “Deep Pewter” rendition to the Nike Kyrie 1 silhouette. Featuring an eye-catching dark gray synthetic-webbed upper, the latest Nike Kyrie 1 features complementing volt accents along the inner lining and Nike “Swoosh” logo as adjacent black laces and a signature heel unit balance the aesthetic. Subtle red accents found on the Nike Kyrie logo along the upper tongue and mid-vamp accentuate the vibrant construction as a speckled design adorns the gray midsole. A contoured outsole finishes the mid-top basketball silhouette. Anticipate the Nike Kyrie 1 “Deep Pewter” to release at select Nike retailers later this year in July.

ART: Richard Prince Sells Other People's Printed Instagrams for $100,000 USD a Piece at NYC Gallery

Notorious for appropriating other people’s photos in his own context, Richard Prince has made an illustrious career in art, with his most expensive works selling between $3.4 million and $8 million USD. Previous appropriations include a snap of Brooke Shields naked at aged 10 and an extensive exhibition at the New York’s Gagosian Gallery titled New Portraits. His latest showing takes to Frieze Art Fair where he’s blown up portraits sizing out to 48 x 65 inch of people he’s found scrolling through Instagram. The images are screenshots taken with his smartphone and feature a short message by Prince himself as the last comment on each one. Dubbed by art critics as “genius trolling,” some of the images are marked up to $100, 000 USD. Not a single cent will go to the photographers, since his work falls under fair use.

Air Jordan 1 Retro High Returns in OG "Chicago" Colorway

One the most coveted sneakers in Jordan Brand’s replete archive is the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG, which is set for a comeback this month. Prized for its simple yet symbolic complexion, the sneaker will return in its OG colorway of white, black and varsity red — hues synonymous with Jordan’s seminal tenure for the Chicago Bulls. The high top silhouette features a leather upper with black Swoosh complemented by black “Wings” logo tab — which pays homage to J’s long wingspan and ability to maneuver across the court. Adhering to its OG characteristics, the Jumpman heel logo is omitted as the emblem was only introduced to the Jordan series from the IIIs onwards. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG will be available May 30 from Jordan Brand retailers such as Livestock for $160 USD.
