Gucci shows no sign of slowing down, with an upcoming runway show, Harry Styles collection launch, and the pressure of being the world’s hottest brand on its shoulders only encouraging more creativity from Alessandro Michele. Naturally, it has done what it does best: pack a bucketload of color and print into signature pieces, notably the contemporary Run sneaker.Kicking off a new trio is the green and fuchsia technical knit fabric style, which is accented with Guccio Gucci’s monogram running across the fitted uppers. However, as wild as this palette is, it’s the marbled bi-color sole unit that does the trick, adding purple with white marbling to the toe cap, rear, and the majority of the mid-section while green marble works the second part of the sole unit, highlighting its mid-to-rear support section. Hints of lilac and blush pink accent the bold marble effect, which is only enhanced by the purple and white rope laces and stone-like eyelets.Keeping up the momentum are two floral pairs, flourishing in black or blue hues with tropical flowers sprouting across the technical knit fabric uppers. Gucci continues the marbling from the aforementioned pair, adding it to the “GG”-branded outsole that wraps up to the toe bumper, subsequently offering an asymmetrical color tone on the toe.All three pairs can be seen in the gallery above and are available to buy from Gucci’s website and boutiques now for £640 GBP each (or $890 USD).In other news, the Supreme x Nike SB Blazer Mid collab has been revealed.

Among the abundance of releases that Jordan Brand has planned out for the rest of the year, the Air Jordan 1 Mid seems to pop up over and over again. From the fall-friendly “Tartan” colorway to the orange “Sport Spice” rendition, the silhouette now makes its way in navy and forest green makeup. Reminiscent of the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks team uniforms, the Air Jordan 1 Mid is outfitted in smooth leather uppers, as deep green runs through the mudguards, lacing systems, collars and heel counters. Navy blue makes its mark, gracing the ankle flaps and profile Swooshes. The former is decorated with a white Wings logo, while nylon tongues are stamped with Jordan’s Jumpman figure. The sneaker is illuminated by vibrant white toe boxes and quarter panels, accompanied by corresponding laces and midsoles. Blue rubber outsoles complete the design. Take an official look at the images above and expect this pair to drop via Nike and select retailers for $125 USD in the coming weeks. In other footwear news, the adidas Forum Mid arrives in a Bauhaus-inspired “Patchwork” colorway.

Jordan Brand has never been afraid of expansion. While the footwear giant is consistently releasing new models, the brand’s level of high engagement from fans has tended to come down to reworks of classic silhouettes with new colorways — seen with the Air Jordan 1 and 4. However, once in a while, Jordan Brand supplies a new addition to its ever-growing arsenal with experimental designs, most recently seen with the Jordan System.23 clog and now the Jordan Granville Pro — which is coming in a “Coconut Milk” and “University Blue” colorway. Following up on its recently-dropped “Rattan” iteration, this latest edition to the 23 Engineered line is dressed in a “Coconut Milk,” “University Blue,” “Midnight Navy,” and “Neutral Grey” color scheme. Constructed with breathable mesh uppers, the design also features suede overlays that wrap around the shoe’s toe cap and laces. Padded tongues are also included, along with a plastic heel clip, tongue pull tabs, and an intricate Swoosh that’s coated in a milky-grey hue. You can have a closer look at the Jordan Granville Pro SP “University Blue” above and it is set to release on the official Nike store in the coming weeks for $140 USD.In other footwear news, the Nike Dunk Low Quilted “Wheat” now has a release date.
