Whether you chalk it up to its comfort or Y2K aesthetics, the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 remains one of the most consistent money makers coming out of Beaverton. While the metallic-tinged versions we’ve gotten in the past year excel, we’ve also started to see more tonal outfits grace the silhouette. “Red Stardust” is the dominant hue for the latest editions, bringing another women’s exclusive to the Summer slate. The titular color gets refracted into a couple adjacent tones, with baby pink treating the mesh and rich raspberry painting the suede and TPU overlays. As the public has come to expect, off-w ..read more

Every four years, Nike pushes innovation to the edge by debuting the latest and greatest footwear and apparel designed to shave of seconds in 100m dash times. Their dedication to innovation can truly change the results on the medal stand, with several key claims made by the recent “Blueprint” Pack that debuted in Paris weeks ago. For those with an affinity with the traditional, Nike is also delivering the classic Air Max 1 with an “Olympic” iteration that claims the gold. The gilded tone appears on the Swoosh logo, whereas the remainder of Tinker Hatfield’s design absorbs an aesthetic that can ..read more

The pace of newly surfaced Nike KD 17 colorways is gaining steam. This latest design sits alongside other “Producer Pack” pairs with a nod to Metro Boomin, particularly his 2022 album “Heroes & Villains” and the “Hearts On Fire” merchandise that’s been released surrounding it. We’ve already seen the KD 17 wear makeup honoring Bink! and The Alchemist, and now this pair marries KD’s pastime with his signature shoes even further. The shoes feature a stormy “Atomic Violet” and “Hyper Grape” print complete with lightning bolts at the base, overlaid by clear TPU structures that allow it to shine ..read more

Kevin Durant’s wingspan has allowed him to reach beyond the game, employing his influential outreach to usher in a new wave of athletes such as Chet Holmgren while also dabbling in what keeps the wheels turning off the court. It’s no mystery that KD loves music; just two months ago, he was featured in Stalley “Scared Money” laying down some impressive verses, but he’s also allowed his Nike KD signature shoe line to spotlight some of his producers in the game. For the Nike KD 17, that collaborative endeavor continues. We already saw the KD 17 “Bink”, an homage to the legendary beat-maker best k ..read more

With eyes towards summer, Nike keeps targeting sneakerhead parents with a steady diet of colorful kids shoes. Next up is the Air Max 90, shown here in grade school sizing with a blue-dominant colorway and all-leather build. Different shades of light and dark blue carry the look, evoking an OG colorway in the Nike Air Max 90 “Laser Blue” and any number of “UNC” Nike shoes. When it comes to materials, the shoes feature an all-leather construction as opposed to the traditional mesh/suede/leather mix, a choice that serves both durability and cleanliness. Splashes of color are broken up at the quar ..read more

Foot Locker stores are going to look a little different in the near future. The retail giant just debuted a refreshed layout at its Willowbrook Mall location in Wayne, NJ and plans to do the same for approximately two-thirds of Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker locations worldwide by the end of 2025. The new design doesn’t stray too far from Foot Locker’s current setup, but images of the Wayne location depict a somewhat elevated storefront defined by a wooden archway and floodlights. The most notable upgrades include a new section in the middle of the store for new and exclusive drops and a “Sn ..read more

Even ahead of its true debut, the Jordan Jumpman Jack has absolutely dominated 2024 already. It’s not much of a surprise given the unending demand for successive Travis Scott shoes, but the addition of a genuine signature into La Flame’s catalog will break new ground in JB x TS. As we await the April 30th launch of the “Sail” pair, we’re getting a look at a potential follow-up in white & cream. Though the palette is the first thing you’ll notice, the hardware changes in this early sample provide the most intrigue. Firstly, the stitched-mouth smiley face logo that’s marked past Travis Scott ..read more

Things just keep coming up Ant. On top of securing a 2-0 lead against the Phoenix Suns, Anthony Edwards shoes have never been in a better place, the adidas AE1 Low revealed to widespread acclaim. Ensuring that the original mid-cut isn’t forgotten, we’re getting an initial look at the upcoming “Pink Multi-Color” edition set to release later this year. As we’ve seen with the greyscale “MX Charcoal” pair previewed in February, adidas isn’t afraid of employing the trademark marbled pattern first introduced via the Yeezy line. It certainly goes in a much more colorful direction here, though, evokin ..read more

With the Air Jordan 1 visited time and time again on “modern” interpretations like the Method of Make and Zoom CMFT series, sneakerheads have never had more options when it comes to Mike’s first signature shoe. Regardless, mainline models with classic colors and familiar blocking schemes still account for the most popular AJ1 makeups. Come September 2024, Jordan Brand returns to that tried-and-true formula with the “Midnight Navy” Jordan 1 High. Detailed images showcase “Chicago” color blocking throughout, with “Midnight Navy” on the overlays and outsole in place of red. The midsole adds a vin ..read more

Decades of defining street style make it hard to argue with the Nike Air Force 1. Over their four decades on the market, Beaverton creatives have taken every manner of swing with the silhouette, rolling out looks totally experimental and entirely conservative. Somewhere in the middle lives the Nike Air Force 1 “Light Iron Ore,” the newest addition to the Swoosh summer slate. The Bulls adjacent white, red and gray featured here isn’t a new development for Nike, but the layout of those colors does feel somewhat novel. Rather than the typical above/below split, “Gym Red” paints the forefoot overl ..read more
