Accents include triple cobranding across the insoles and classic rabbit logos fixed on the lateral heel counter. Rounding out the look are wide laces and distressed sole units in MMY’s signature melted finish. Arriving alongside the footwear are similarly branded “Smoking kills” sweatshirts available in both black and white.The atmos x #FR2 x Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO Wayne Low Leather will be available via #FR2’s online and physical stores beginning December 31. View this post on Instagram A post shared by #FR2??

To round out the year, Andrew Chiou has introduced another Pokémon-inspired Air Jordan 4 concept, this time taking visual cues from “Mecha Mewtwo.” The new AJ4 follows two similar concepts inspired by viewer-favorite Pokémons Snorlax and Shiny Charizard.Using a pair of Nike x Off-White™ Air Jordan 4s as the base, the upcoming pars arrive in a mix of purple and steel blue hues with “SHOELACES” and “AIR” branding. As with Chiou’s other character-themed creations, overlay panels feature contoured shadows adding to the character of the sneaker while the shoe’s materials and overall construction are kept intact. Take a closer look at the Air Jordan 4 “Mecha Mewtwo” customs above. More concepts can be found on Andrew Chiou’s Instagram referenced below and the Roommate(s) website. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Andrew Chiou (@andu.c)Elsewhere in footwear, here’s an official look at the Nike Air Max 97 “Athletic Company.”

The collaborative partnership between Paris Saint-Germain and Jordan Brand was further enriched in 2022 as the duo brought Air Jordan 5 Low, Air Jordan 7 and Jordan Two Trey makeups to life. And this momentum is set to carry over into 2023 as a Jordan Air 200E “PSG” colorway has just been unveiled by way of official imagery.Past colorways that we’ve seen by the French football team have translated its country’s flag colors, but this forthcoming rendition takes a different approach. Styled with a more muted arrangement, the base layer’s mesh toe boxes, side walls and tongues are dyed in a solid black hue while the premium leather overlays that are situated at the toe tips, mudguards and heels appear with muted navy skin. Paris Saint-Germain emblems are spotted on the lateral regions of the heel in a striking yellow hue as well as the insoles on the left shoe. Footbeds of the right sneaker contrast with Jordan branding. To round off its design, the duo pieces together the midsole in black while the exposed Air unit is bereft of any colored tint.Official images can be viewed in the gallery above and you can anticipate a Nike to go down in 2023.Elsewhere in footwear, a Nike MMW 005 Slide “Light Grey” colorway has been uncovered.
