In honor of the debut year of the Nike Dunk High, the sportswear giant has released a new pair of the Nike Dunk High Retro SE in a new “Stadium Green” colorway.The shoe comes dressed in a bold emerald green hue that sees details emphasized in phantom, sail and black. Constructed in the typical leather build, mesh tongues as well as lining, the makeup is also intertwined with suede used on the eyelet panels and the dual Swoosh for extra highlight. The number “85” is seen branded in the vintage text on the tongue tags as a nod to the first year that Dunk High was debuted.

Famed artist and professional skater Mark Gonzales, also known as “The Gonz”, has been a part of the Three Stripes team for over two decades now. With adidas, Gonzales has reworked silhouettes in the Originals and Skateboarding categories, working on classics such as the Superstar. Now, with the “UltraBOOST by Mark Gonzales”, he has stepped into the world of performance footwear.After surfacing earlier this year, we now get a closer look at Gonzales’ approach to the UltraBOOST DNA. A staple in adidas’ footwear offerings, the model is known for pulling elements from previous UltraBOOST iterations such as this pair’s translucent cage coming from the UltraBOOST 3.0. As with the rest of his adidas collaborations, Gonzales includes his signature Shmoo character throughout the sneaker. Utilizing various tones of blue, gray and black, the Primeknit upper carries unique geometry that is sure to stand out. To complement the blend of colors, a black midsole is combined with a brown Continental outsole. Lacing alternatives in neon shades of green and orange are offered alongside the default gray.The release is set for June 11 via adidas and specialty skate shops at a retail price of $180 USD.In case you missed it, the coveted adidas UltraBOOST 1.0 “Cream” is being reissued again.

Nike is pushing its Air Force 1 Mid to the frontlines in both collaborative and GR forms throughout 2022. The former has been seen through collabs with Stüssy and Off-White™, while the latter category will include variations such as this “Enamel Green” makeup.We’ve seen this palette on various Nike models in the past such as the quarantine-friendly Offline Sandal and the Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit from 2016, but this makeup also ushers in more neutral-toned color-blocking. Its titular shade enhances its canvas toe boxes and quarter panels as well as its premium leather straps. Neighboring these minty elements are “Grey Fog” accents that touch down on the overlays along with angelic finishes that drop off on the tongues and Swooshes. Below all of that, the midsoles and outsoles alike are covered in a creamy coating. Furthermore, the insoles deviate from the traditional Nike Air branding and bring in a “Certified Fresh” stamp.It’s still unclear when these will be in stock on Nike’s website, but it’s likely that these could be arriving in the near future.For other sneaker-related news, a Dunk Low “Magma Orange” colorway has surfaced.
