The Air Jordan 1 Mid isn’t flinching in its run as the most easily accessible formulation of Mike’s first signature. The sheer quantity of new releases has led to it taking on all manners of colorways, but simply put, sometimes the easy stuff hits the hardest. Take a look at this summer’s Air Jordan 1 Mid “White/Light Tan” for perfect proof of that. White-on-white sneakers have been successful for decades now, and this pair does well to lean on that foundation as a starting point. Dressing the Swoosh and uppermost overlays in playinum white, natural panels undercut and emphasize that just belo ..read more

While Jordan Brand takes plenty of stabs at twisting the Air Jordan 1 recipe, one they’ve managed to strike oil with is the Air Jordan 1 “Method of Make.” Bringing exaggerated exposed stitching and tonal treatments to the classic silhouette, the women’s offshoot model is back once again in luxury fashion, tackling a “Black/Gold” proposition for its latest. As mentioned, Air Jordan 1 Low Method of Make releases have all stayed in a monochromatic lane, so far taking on all-pink, all-beige and all-green. It makes this nocturnal edition expected in its layout but a standout in its palette, present ..read more

Sneakerheads are probably right to shout “oversaturation” upon hearing news of another inline Nike Dunk, but critique each pair independently and you’ll likely find something that catches your eye. The Beaverton brand’s latest women’s Dunk Low doesn’t seek to reinvent the wheel, instead returning to what Dunks do best with vintage, pre-loved treatments. As is generally a prerequisite for vintage-inspired Dunks, this pair touches down with simple “Be True To Your School” color blocking with “Navy” overlays and “Sail” leather at the base. Metallic gold hits on the heel and tongue carry the look ..read more

The Nike Dunk Low Twist emerged towards the middle of last year, the latest in a line of modified Dunk models with eyes towards tapping into new demographics and styles. While the model hasn’t flown off the shelves the way mainline ones did a few years back, they’ve still been successful in providing new life to a silhouette we’re all plenty familiar with. The latest edition of the shoe in “Coconut Milk” and “Guava Ice” presents a decidedly summer ready look. The two adjacent trademark shades play opposing roles, with the yellow tone marking traditional hardware components like the outsole and ..read more

Despite all the criticism directed towards the Air Jordan 1 Mid, its various Chicago-rooted makeups have proven to be popular buys. This latest women’s pair probably won’t win over diehard Jordan purists, but it will appease the sensibilities of casual buyers with a fondness for iconic, recognizable color palettes. The shoes boast a “Bred” colorway for all intents and purposes, albeit differentiated by white hits on the Swoosh and wings branding. Otherwise, familiar color blocking takes shape with black on the quarter, toe box, and collar, contrasted by red overlays and a white/red sole. No re ..read more

Although the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 continues to make appearances in new colorways, we wonder if this mid-2000s silhouette is one of the classic models that Nike will choose to pull from shelves. As part of a commitment to innovation and future products, the brass at Nike has chosen to pull back on supply of the Air Force 1 as well as other retro models, and given the Vomero’s admitted over-abundance, it could use a moment’s break from the spotlight. Still, Nike is offering up impressive takes on the silhouette, like this women’s exclusive “Pearl White” take. Despite the color spec, this pair of V ..read more

While the Nike Dunk Low began as a basketball shoe, anyone with an interest in sneakers will know that those original intentions haven’t restricted the silhouette’s later stages. Spending time as a skate staple and a lifestyle shoe as well, it’s has worn plenty of hats throughout its decades on the shelf. So what’s stopping it from adding another? The latest edition of the Nike Dunk Low embraces vintage tennis aesthetics, including in its branding. The retro Nike Tennis logo that stands front-and-center on the tongue is both the most intriguing edition and the guiding light for this design. Pa ..read more

Divisive as it may be among hard-line Air Jordan 1 enthusiasts, the Mid cut version continues to roll on as the more accessible version of Mike’s first signature. There’s clearly still a demand for the model as well, as it receives new outfits on a monthly, if not weekly basis. The latest women’s exclusive clads it in sprightly “Light Dew,” a pair clearly with eyes on warmer weather. Certainly, white-dominant pairs are the most timeless and familiar formulation for any type of AJ1, but that comes at a cost. It can become a redundant look at a point, which is why swapping to light grey on the u ..read more

Travis Scott made “Mocha” Air Jordan 1s one of the most iconic looks of the modern era, so its only natural that Jordan Brand would want to embrace more brown, coffee-adjacent treatments. We got a first glimpse at the “Latte” Jordan 1 High in October of last year and now official images arrive ahead of the shoe’s May 29th release, matching what’s been previewed thus far. The shoes share a color blocking scheme with the “Dark Mocha” Jordan 1 that released Holiday 2020, only with soft tan leather in place of brown nubuck at the rear. In keeping with the theme, an abstract latte-inspired pattern ..read more

The Nike Cortez is one of the more classic, reliable staples in the Nike catalog. Its timeless appeal lends to a constant stream of new looks, updated with each successive season. As we kick into Summer, the Cortez is responding in kind, emerging in its latest “Picante Red / University Blue” edition. The red-hot shade is dominant on this shoe, taking up most of the underlying textile and the suede swatches that layer over top. Veering close to a reverse “Forrest Gump” look, the Swoosh, laces, tongue and heel cap all opt for platinum white or “Sail.” As one finishing touch, slight hits of “Univ ..read more
