Month: September 2021

After presenting what just might have been one of the most unique album roll outs the music industry has ever witnessed, Kanye West is now diverting his attention back to his YEEZY empire to tease more forthcoming footwear releases. During the Fall/Winter 2021 season, Ye has intentions of dropping a bevy of new offerings, one being the adidas YEEZY 450 “Dark Sulfur” that has just emerged via on-foot imagery.Much like the silhouette’s previously revealed “Dark Slate” iteration, this impending installment is designed with a monochromatic motif. The upper build is forced with a PrimeKnit material that fits snug like a sock and comes mated with an aggressive, claw-like sole unit, both of which are drenched in a “Dark Sulfur” hue. The shoe laces offer a slight bit of contrasting as they appear with an olive green finish. The treading is shaped with wavy grooves, and features a tonal adidas logo towards the toe tips.Based off of the visual composition of this newest colorway, they almost channel a similar look to the recently-surfaced adidas YEEZY 450 “Resin”, but sport a slightly darker-toned exterior.Check out on-foot photos of the pair here above and note that they’re expected to drop in the coming months for $180 USD.

Despite only having two Air Force 1 team-ups with Nike under his belt, G-Dragon has swiftly become a collaborator to watch out for amongst the sneaker community. And for his next initiative with the Swoosh, the K-pop icon is ostensibly straying away from Nike’s existing catalog of footwear and instead receiving his own signature model: the PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1.After being previewed by the South Korean rapper himself not too long ago, the shoes have now surfaced by way of a from-the-top perspective. The shoes are engineered with a lower cut and feature various details that align with the artist’s fashion-forward sensibility. Uppers are primarily constructed with smooth white leathers and feature wing-tip details on the toe boxes and tonal Swooshes on the side panels. On top of the throat sits branded lace shrouds that split between a PEACEMINUSONE hit on the right shoe while the Nike Sportswear logo adorns the left side, both of which are printed out in black. Floral embellishments are also brought to the table on the heels and the treading, the former of which sees through to a yellow finish.Early reports are saying that these will be dropping in January 2022 for $180 USD, but Nike and G-Dragon have yet to confirm this. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 권지용(權志龍) (@xxxibgdrgn) View this post on Instagram A post shared by 권지용(權志龍) (@xxxibgdrgn)Elsewhere in footwear news, check out an official look of the Nike Air Max 96 “Persian Violet” colorway.
