Month: November 2021

Joshua Vides has become a household name in the art space and widely recognized for delivering his signature cartoon-inspired, black and white design language to rooms, cars, clothes, sneakers and more. And to ring in the month of November, the talented creative is teaming up with New Balance for his inaugural footwear and apparel collection that’s inspired by his design process.In the sneakers department, Vides applies his crafty touch to a duo of lifestyle models: the 327 and the 57/40. The New Balance 327 features a stark black backdrop for its base and welcomes in splatters of white paint across the side panels. Underneath, the midsoles are formed with a natural white tone and come rounded out by a gum-colored waffle outsole. The 57/40 essentially makes use of the same color scheme but flips it in reverse. The angelic backdrop is complemented by thicker black outlines to mimic his artwork and is seated adjacent to all-over black blemishes.Dropping alongside the kicks are various apparel pieces including graphic tees, a pullover hoodie and shorts that are styled with similar elements. Some of the garments are adorned with his own mottos such as “Keep Going” and “Paint Crew.”You can expect the Joshua Vides x New Balance collection to launch on November 6 via the Joshua Vides website. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ?? ??

If you followed along the journey of Jordan Brand footwear since its formative days, then you’ll know that the imprint has a penchant for utilizing its classical color schemes to produce modernized colorways. One of those motifs is the “Bordeaux” palette, a wine-inspired motif that is most commonly associated with the Air Jordan 7. In years past, this specific theme has been lent to the Air Jordan 6, Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 12 and more, and now it is getting its moment to shine on the popular Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG.The upper halves of this lifestyle-focused installment are presented with a three-toned arrangement. The toe boxes, quarter panels, tongues and collars are all supplied with a premium leather build and come doused with an all-white finish. Its red wine elements are visible through the “Bordeaux” colored overlays, laces, interior lining and the ankle flaps. From there, “Metallic Silver” accents pop out through the Nike Air tongue branding, ball-and-wings logos and the Swooshes which round off its red wine-influenced ensemble.Early reports have these dropping on November 20 in men’s and grade school sizes, the former of which will retail for the usual $170 USD.In case you missed it, an early look of the CLOT x Air Jordan 5 Low has surfaced.
