Month: June 2021

UNDERCOVER and Nike have previewed a handful of footwear collaborations to come later down the road including that of a Dunk High as well as a three-way collaboration atop the LDWaffle with sacai. In addition to those iterations, the Japanese imprint is slated to revisit the Nike Gyakusou lineage and roll out a duo of ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT%. The capsule was first teased towards the beginning of June 2021, but now official imagery of both of the collection’s colorways have been unveiled.In true UNDERCOVER fashion, the shoes comes slightly altered in terms of its upper build and heavy text branding takes center stage. Extra overlays are added onto the lateral and medial walls, the latter of which is adorned with an UNDERCOVER LAB spell out. The first colorway on the roster is primarily covered in a forest green hue, and comes placed next to hits of burgundy which cascade over the throat, Swooshes and forefoot. White accents are distributed to the thicker mesh quarter panels as well as the “Gyakusou” embellishments on the sides and “Gyakusou International Running Association” notation on the forefoot. Zoom-loaded midsoles are wrapped with more green skins.The second pair leans into a much brighter palette as a bold red tone engulfs a majority of the upper and the midsoles. Like its sibling, the text furnishings, laces and the mesh mid-foot panel are drenched in a crisp white, but its tongues and forefoot panels deviate with a navy hue.A release date hasn’t been confirmed by Nike yet, but it’s likely that these could see a drop in the coming months.For more footwear news, first images of the Off-White™ x Air Jordan 2 Low have emerged.

If you’ve been an avid follower of Kanye West’s footwear releases with adidas in recent years, you’ll notice that it’s basically all gas no brakes with them. The two are going to continue to run up the numbers in terms of shoe releases this year, and the latest to get added to the holiday calendar is the adidas YEEZY 450 “Resin”.Thanks to YEEZY MAFIA, we now have an early look at the forthcoming makeup. Unlike the silhouette’s original “Cloud White” colorway, this installment elects to go with a monochromatic theme. The slim and sock-like PrimeKnit upper constructions, along with the claw-like EVA midsole and outsole exoskeleton are dripped in a “Resin” hue. Branding is done in the most minimalistic fashion as the YEEZY moniker is printed onto the insoles while a tonal adidas logo is positioned on the treading right by the toe tips.Get your most detailed look yet at the YEEZY 450 “Resin” here above, and note that these are targeting a launch come December 2021. As usual, the pair will bear a retail tag of $200 USD and likely launch via adidas and other retailers.Looking for more news around upcoming YEEZY releases? On-foot images of the upcoming adidas YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 “MX Oat” have emerged.

It’s fashion week in Paris, and as usual, there’s a tremendous amount of buzz surrounding all of the high fashion footwear that has been unveiled thus far. Virgil Abloh broke the internet when he teased his forthcoming Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 collection, and now Travis Scott has inserted himself into the conversation as he’s revealed his newest collection with Dior. And now we have a first look at what La Flame and Kim Jones have cooked up on the sneakers front thanks to Dior’s mens footwear designer Thibo.Based off of initial imagery, it appears that Scott and the French label are serving up a low-cut and semi-chunky silhouette that is carries plenty of design language from old skate shoes. Think Lavnin meets eS meets DC Skate and that’s essentially what you get here in terms of its overall shape. Several colorways have been revealed, many of which are formed with a blend of materials including premium leather that is found on the collars, canvas which slides into the mid-foot and smooth suede that lands on the toe boxes and mudguards. Branding is very minimal but can be found by via the diamond shaped “CD” eyelets tongue embellishments which of course stand for Christian Dior, in addition the Dior-adorned tabs that are stationed on the lateral heels. A few of the colorways that have been teased carry earthy tones which are omnipresent throughout many of Scott’s collaborations with Nike and Jordan Brand, while others opt for playful neon and cool tones, as well as hefty snakeskin textures.Be on the lookout for these collaborative kicks to drop during Summer 2022. View this post on Instagram A post shared by _thibo (@_thibo)In case you missed it, Travis Scott has rolled out signed CACTI cans that grants buyers free tickets to his upcoming ASTROWORLD Festival.
