While primarily known as a skateboarding imprint, Dime has made its presence felt in the sneakers sphere as it has aligned with a vast array of brands to cook up footwear collaborations. The Montreal-based imprint linked up with Reebok for a Workout Plus capsule and Vans for Skate Half Cab ’92 and Wayvee installments, and now it’s slated to work alongside Merrell 1TRL to fashion a trail-ready Moab capsule.The overall shape and materials that are signature to the hiking model are kept intact, leaving room for Dime to toy with clean palettes and subtle branding. The low-slung kicks are prepared with their traditional mesh underlays, toe boxes and tongues while the overlays are crafted from their usual suede material. Up top you can spot branding from the skate-centric label in two areas, the first being the “Dime” hit that is printed on the lateral side of the toe box while the other is “Dime” hit is dropped off on the yellow heel tabs. Sole units are equipped with Vibram technology and branded with Merrell spell-outs. The colorways that are lined up include a colder purple iteration as well as a cleaner white makeup.You can likely expect these collaborative Moabs to launch in the coming weeks.For other news, check out Dime’s Holiday ’22 collection.

After going on a run in 2019, the Zoom Vomero 5 regained momentum in the latter half of 2022 and is looking to build on that in 2023. It’s a technical and sporty silhouette that sneaker fans have grown to love, especially for its versatility to pair with casual and athleisure outfitss and its plushy ride. And now, the Nike model has been reissued in two of its most staple colorways: “Vast Grey” and “Anthracite.”Both pairs are clean in every sense of the word. Opting for the tonal motif, both pairs allow their titular tones to soak up all the attention and coat the base layer’s various panels such as the mesh underlays, ribbed quarter panels, leather overlays and the cagey molds on the rear ends. On the “Vast Grey” option, bold, black Nike branding sticks out on the tongues while the “Anthracite” iteration styles its tongue logos in white. Subtle 3M accents also get added throughout the upper for visibility purposes in case you intend to take these out for a run. Down below, Zoom Air cushioning is stuffed inside the heel and forefoot to provide wearers with a comfortable foundation.Retailers like atmos Tokyo have these available now for ¥19,800 (approx. $149 USD).For other news, images of the Nike Dunk Low “Salmon Toe” have popped up.

2023 is looking up for Nike and its SB label as there are plans in place to release a sizable amount of exciting footwear collaborations. The Swoosh division already has a two-piece pack coming with Run the Jewels and a thirst-quenching team-up with Mexican beverage company Jarritos, and now it’s expanding its wings with a Born x Raised x Nike SB Dunk Low.Early images have landed on our radar, revealing a plethora of striking details. The LA-based streetwear label upgrades the classic SB model with a crisp white and blue color scheme, the former hue residing on the tongues, quarter panels and toe boxes, while the latter is positioned on the overlays. Toe boxes trade out their usual dotted perforations for cross shapes, and the heels are enhanced with holographic heel panels and remixed “Born SB” branding. “One Block at a Time” is a signature motto for Born x Raised, and the imprint elects to highlight this on the tongues and toe tips. It’s likely that these are dedicated to a loved one of the brand given that the laces have been adorned with the words “In Loving Memory”. Additionally, the heels have been styled with a 3D block that spells out “On the Turf.”Sit tight for detailed imagery and official launch info.In other news, images of the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Valentine’s Day” have popped up.
