From a design perspective, Kanye West tends to place a heavy emphasis on footwear as he has a tendency of flooding the marketplace with a multitude of newadidas-manufactured colorways every year. And after officially unveiling his court-ready YEEZY BSKTBL Knit “Slate Onyx” makeup, the creative genius is now shining a light on another shoe that he’s got in the pipeline — the adidas YEEZY 700 V3 “Fade Salt.”The upper region of this forthcoming colorway adheres to a grayscale motif. The silhouette’s signature streaky lines that are printed across the upper are styled with somewhat of a gradient effect as they start out in solid black towards the toes and transition to a crisp white from mid-foot to the rear. Futuristic molds that affix to the side panels are fashioned with a milky translucent appearance while the tongues and interior liners are done up with a muted gray hue. BOOST-less bottoms are prepared with creamy exteriors, and the treading is formed with beige chevron tractions and pops of orange accents in between.There’s no information yet on when these will be released, but it’s likely that adidas and other retailers will be launching them in the coming months for the usual $200 USD.In other news, YEEZY is rumored to revive its Season 1 950 Boot.

Since entering the NBA as a young 17-year-old hoops prospect, LeBron James has been one of the impactful signees of Nike. His influence is one that undoubtedly spans the globe, and the Swoosh has allowed his fans to indulge in his signature product line for nearly two decades now. And as the four-time champion heads into his 20th season, he’s also getting ready to present his newest silhouette — the Nike LeBron 20.The King laced up his fresh signature in his recent return to the Drew League where he filled up the stat sheet with an impressive 42 points, 16 rebounds and four steals. Design-wise, the latest model takes a noticeable departure from the bulky construction and higher cut that we’re normally accustomed to seeing from the perennial All-Star. This time around we’re seeing the Beaverton-based imprint whip up a low-top offering that comes forged with knitted uppers and leather tongues and heel panels. This tonal salmon pink colorway comes accessorized with double-stacked Swooshes, the foreground variation being outlined in silver and raised with a 3D effect towards the rear. The Lakers star’s signature crown logo dons the heel piece while his cursive signature graces the tongue for extra flair.More information regarding its official debut will likely turn up in the coming months.For other news, peep the new Nike Blazer Mid “World Champ” colorway.
