Jordan Brand continues to pay tribute to its heritage with the Jordan Legacy 312 Low. The silhouette debuted in 2018 with streetwear icon Don C having contributed to the model’s design. It serves as a combination of the Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 3 and Air Alpha Force and carries the rich history of Jordan Brand in its form. Now, elaborating on this connection to the past, the Jordan Legacy 312 Low arrives in “True Blue,” a colorway best known for hitting the Air Jordan 3 several times now, including in 2016.The “True Blue” presentation of the Jordan Legacy 312 Low offers a base in white leather with soft gray overlays at the forefoot and heel. Blue accents the look on the Swooshes, heel, midfoot strap and other branding elements throughout. The strap also utilizes the classic elephant print at its base and carries red “NIKE” text that matches the lining of the shoe. A white midsole with a visible Air unit rests atop a gray outsole to complete this look.No release date for the Jordan Legacy 312 Low in “True Blue” has been announced yet. However, look for Nike and select retailers to carry this pair in the coming months at a price of $130 USD.Elsewhere from Jordan Brand, the Air Jordan 37 is on its way with a “Hare” colorway set to release in September.

One could make the argument that the most vital component of Nike SB’s strategy for success year in and year out is its willingness and ability to ideate and execute collaborative initiatives. Whether it be with designers, streetwear brands or skate shops, the skate-focused label pumps out a barrage of team-ups annually, and 2022 is ready to bring about another: the Pawnshop Skate Co. x Nike SB Dunk High.Only a handful of leaked images have emerged on our radar thus far, but we can already tell that the kicks are going to be fitted with striking details. Uppers are dressed with dark brown smooth leathers, but a blotch of the golden brown hue that is previewed towards the collars suggests that these could have wear-away capabilities. Swooshes are bordered with broken stitchings that appear in gold to match up with the gilded wing embellishments that are planted right above them. This element is a nod to the Covina-based skate store’s signature “Wing & Wheel” logo. More Pawnshop branding arrives on the outsider and inside banners of the tongues as well as the insoles for extra flair.More information regarding its official drop date should be announced in the coming months.Looking for more news? Official images of the Nike Air Max Scorpion “Triple Black” have appeared.

Following the first look at Reese Cooper’s take on its signature Hydro Moc, Merrell’s 1TRL division now unveils a new “Hydro Runner” silhouette geared towards all-rounded movement.

A 100 percent recycled EVA midsole and sticky traction outsoles round out the design. The end result is a shoe optimized for warm weather comfort, combining the breathability of a clog and the responsiveness of a sneaker.The Merrell 1TRL Hydro Runners are now available white and black camo colorways on the Merrell Australia website for $1450 AUD (approximately $100 USD).Elsewhere in footwear, Ant Kai crafts a custom sacai x Nike LDWaffle “Boro.”
