Month: October 2021

To kick off the month of November, Travis Scott will be hosting his third annual Astroworld Festival. The lineup is repleted with heavy hitters including that of Bad Bunny, SZA, Young Thug, Roddy Ricch, Earth Wind & Fire and more, but prior to the actual two-day event, the Cactus Jack general will also be hosting a series of events and activations to build more excitement around the highly-anticipated concert.It’s only right that Scott — arguably the most impactful footwear collaborator of this generation — brings some sneaker launches to H-Town, so he’s conducting various SNKRS Pass drops at his own Space Village store on November 2-3. It’s still unclear as to what he will be dropping, but you can probably expect him to drop more pairs of his past collaborations or even maybe conduct an early release of his forthcoming Air Max 1s. Other items to look forward to include unveilings of a Cactus Jack x Jordan Brand basketball court, Cactus Jack Gardens, Cactus Jack Celebrity Golf Game and Cactus Jack Design Center x TXRX Labs on November 3 followed by a Cactus Jack Foundation Fall Classic Softball Game on November 4.Check out the full schedule here below.

You’ve got to tip your hats to Jordan Brand for keeping things interesting when it comes to its footwear offerings as seeing the same retro models come out in different colorways can sometimes be a bit dull. And that’s exactly the case for this new Air Jordan 1 LV8D — an impending variation of the Air Jordan 1 that is constructed with a chunky platform sole. After first surfacing with a heritage-inspired “Bred” palette, the elevated model has now showed face with a clean tan and white makeover.Base layers are produced with smooth leather materials and come treated with all-white toe boxes, quarters, laces and tongues. Offsetting these components are Swooshes, and overlays atop the forefoot, near the throat and on the heels that are treated with a lighter tan hue. On the back side, the silhouette of the AJ 1’s customary ball-and-wings logo is present, but the center of it is bereft of any Air Jordan branding. Chunky midsole pieces are done up with an angelic finish and come marked by a tonal Jumpman logo out back, and the outsoles are designed to match the aforementioned overlays.No release info has been announced just yet, but it’s likely that these will see an official launch in 2022.For more footwear news, Michael Jordan’s game-worn Nike Air Ship sold for $1.47 Million USD at Sotheby’s auction.

Right in time for Halloween 2021, Nike SB continues its resurgence with the all-new Nike SB Dunk Low “Mummy.” The thematic sneaker has already garnered some major attention online, pointing to another grail shoe from the SB catalog. HYPEBEAST get our hands on the spooky new kicks to unbox — or rather, unwrap — the Nike SB Dunk Low “Mummy.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by HYPEBEAST (@hypebeast)The Nike SB Dunk Low “Mummy” takes on a life of its own, mimicking an actual mummy with its tear-away upper construction, dressed in hues of “Coconut Milk,” “Seafoam” and “Yellow.” Underneath, a bluish turquoise, matching the Swoosh insignias, is hidden away. On the other end, a glow-in-the-dark outsole steals the show, while the Mummy-like wraps open to reveal eye embroidery on the heels. Additionally, Eye of Horus is spotlighted on the inner tongues while the insole features toilet paper and grass graphics. Finally, a spider motif rounds out the shoe with embroidery on the left toe.Take a closer look at Nike SB Dunk Low “Mummy” in the Unboxing video above. The shoe is available now via Concepts.
