Back in October, Nike teased its upcoming collaboration with UNO, showcasing an Air Force 1 that celebrated the card game’s 50th anniversary. Now, the pair is set to be officially released in sizes for all.While the official colorway is dubbed “White/Yellow Zest/University Red,” the pair actually features all of the colors that you’d typically find within the UNO game. As a result, a white base hitting up the perforated toe box and eyestay placket is contrasted by blue around the toe bumper, red on the mid-panel, and black on the rear-quarters and heels, while more blue works the heel alongside vivid green on the heel tab, which is then adorned with blue embroidered Nike Air branding.A black nylon tongue wears another Nike Air-branded tag, while UNO’s logo graces the lateral-side rear-quarter, appearing alongside a “Yellow Zest” Swoosh. White has been used for the Air-equipped sole unit, and blue appears inside the shoe alongside “50”-branded UNO cards printed onto the insoles.This pair of AF1s are unmistakably UNO-themed, marking a collaborative occasion that will go down in the sneaker’s history books. Take a closer look at the pair above, and expect them to drop at retailers such as Sivasdescalzo in the coming days. They are currently only available via a raffle, and will cost €120 EUR (approximately $133 USD).Elsewhere in the footwear world, adidas Originals has debuted the all-new NMD_V3.

New Balance abandons its grey-and-white upper for a triple white colorway on the new M991TW.The classic silhouette sees an updated all-white premium leather upper with a metallic silver “N” logo embossed across the side panels and sole. Simplistic by nature, the M991TW is contemporary minimalism reimagined. The “991” namesake is engraved at the tongue in silver thread, completed with white laces and a chunky rubber outsole. White topstitching adds visual dimension to the otherwise clean silhouette, lifted by a chunky ABZORB midsole. The unique padding technology is a blend of Dupont Engage Isoprene rubber and EVA foam, widely incorporated in New Balance’s “991” line-up. The padding absorbs on-impact shock during dynamic activity, helping mitigate frenetic movement. The 991 is famed for its aerodynamic, lightweight body, merging comfort-oriented performance technology with modern design. Shop the white colorway at Hanon’s home website, listed at $270 USD.

The Spring season is going to be rife with fresh Dunk releases from Nike and its Nike SB division, and a reoccurring design trend that we’re seeing here is the use of paisley graphics. Plenty of new iterations are being pumped out on behalf of the Sportswear family, the latest to show up by way of official imagery being this Nike Dunk Low “Green Paisley” colorway.Much like its recently unveiled “Orange” and “Barley” counterparts, this impending installment adheres to a two-toned color scheme. Smooth leathers are responsible for crafting its upper build and come fitted with a rich green hue atop the tongues, laces and overlays while angelic finishes are dispersed to the toe boxes, quarters, collars and Nike branding that is present on the tongues and heels. Bandana-inspired green and white paisley patterns stand out overtly across the canvas Swoosh logos and heel overlays to complete its St. Patrick’s Day-friendly palette.There’s no word yet on when these will be rolled out to the public, but you can likely expect Nike to launch them in the coming weeks.If interested in more of the latest footwear news, be sure to peep a look at the upcoming Nike OverBreak SP “Hot Curry” makeup.
