First Look at the Nike Dunk Low “Rainbow Trout”

January 7, 2023

Every season looks to be Nike Dunk season as the silhouette trots its way into the new year with all sorts of releases lined up. Iterating on the Dunk Low further, Nike has put together a fish-themed “Rainbow Trout” pair that joins a previously revealed silver pair in outfitting its lateral Swooshes with fishhooks.In this early preview of the colorway, the branding elements aren’t the only references to fish as its ripstop base features a pattern similar to that of a rainbow trout. These yellow spots match the golden yellow scaly Swooshes that shine with a fishhook design attached on the lateral’s Swoosh. Rough suede overlays are covered in a forest green while the heel remixes suede in orange and pink patches. Its cream sole features orange stitching that matches the ripstop tongue that carries a fish drawing with “Nike Beaverton 1972” text written on it.Currently, Nike has yet to share any release information for the Nike Dunk Low “Rainbow Trout” and its silver counterpart. Look for it to land on shelves via Nike and select retailers in the coming months. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ?‍?

On-Foot Look at the UNION x Air Jordan 1 KO Low

January 7, 2023

Update: Following our first look at the pair, on-foot shots of the UNION x Air Jordan 1 KO Low have now been shared, revealing repeating “UN/LA” text in black beneath the Velcro base of the Swooshes. A release date of January 27 remains expected, however, stay tuned for official information and imagery from Nike and check out the full story below.Original Story: UNION is one of Jordan Brand’s most consistent collaborators, taking on some of the Jumpman’s most high-powered silhouettes like the Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 2 and Air Jordan 4. However, they’ve also dipped their toes in the waters of more under-the-radar models like the Delta Mid and the Crater Slide, and their latest collaboration — the Air Jordan 1 KO Low, a brand-new silhouette inspired by the original Air Jordan 1 KO — sits somewhere in the middle.News of the low-top Air Jordan 1 KO first broke at the tail end of October, but we’re now getting our first official look at it before the holidays thanks to a joint leak from zsneakerheadz and beechkicks_. Save for some slightly different colorblocking and tooling, the actual shoe isn’t that far off from the early mock-up. It uses an airy “White/Sail/University Gold/Neutral Grey” color scheme, a full canvas upper and a hybrid construction that draws from both the KO and the OG Air Jordan 1 Low, which is set off with “aged” midsoles, UNION tags that hang from the Swooshes, exposed foam tongues and thick heel badges. However, the most interesting detail is served up by the interchangeable swooshes, which come in either grey or sky blue. Each pair also comes packaged in a custom box with an image of a thick gold medallion on its lid.At the time of writing, zsneakerheadz reports that the UNION x Air Jordan 1 Low KO is set to release on January 27 and retail for $150 USD, though neither of these pieces of info have been confirmed by Nike. Stay tuned for more info as it’s made available.To learn more about the mystery, history and influence of the Air Jordan 1 KO, check out Hypebeast’s historical retrospective of the under-the-radar model.

Closer Look at the Air Jordan 1 High “Lucky Green”

January 7, 2023

Update: Following an early preview of the pair, a detailed breakdown of the Air Jordan 1 High “Lucky Green” has now been shared. A release date of April 15 remains expected, however, stay tuned for official information and imagery from Nike and check out the full story below.Original Story: If you’ve paid attention to the evolution of Jordan Brand and its retro category, then you’ve noticed that it has a cyclical nature to it. Its expansive array of classic colorways is released over and over again to satisfy the older sneakerheads and introduce classics to newer ones. In 2023, we can expect to see MJ’s imprint bring back some gems, one being the Air Jordan 1 High “Lucky Green” that was originally launched in 2009 as part of a “DMP” Pack.The color palette on this reissue is a nod to the Boston Celtics — one of Jordan and the Bulls’ rivals in the Jordan Brand ’90s. Its titular shade reflects the Eastern Conference squad’s main tone and comes pronounced atop the flaps, laces and lower heel overlays. The popularized “Black Toe” color blocking that features solid black Swooshes, and overlays set against angelic quarters and toe boxes is also implemented. The main difference with this forthcoming installment is that the tongue branding has been modified. Instead of Jumpman logos, the tongues are embellished with the more favored Nike Air branding.
