For Nike, 2023 is the year of classic colorways. The Swoosh will reportedly be bringing back several iconic renditions throughout the year, including the Nike Air Foamposite One “Anthracite,” Nike Air Max CB 94 “Triple Black,” and the 2004 Air Jordan 13 “Wheat.”Now, the Nike Dunk Low “UNLV” is up to bat, reimagined in an all-over satin material that brings new life to the OG colorway. Serving as a well-deserved throwback to the Swoosh’s original “Be True To Your School” Pack — which was introduced during the model’s initial debut — color-blocked “Medium Grey” and “Varsity Red” tones outfit the release. The pair’s traditional leather facade is abolished and replaced with a luxurious satin finish. Sleek grey underlays receive slight metallic accents, sitting beneath opulent red panels that run through the mudguards, lacing systems, heel counters, and medial Swooshes. The rich tone also embraces the branded rear tabs, while standard white midsoles and rubber bottoms complete the design. Take a first look at the Nike Dunk Low “UNLV” in the gallery above. The rendition is set to release later in 2023 via Nike and select retailers for $110 USD. In other footwear news, the Air Jordan 1 High Elevate gets a delicate “Atmosphere” makeover.

The Air Jordan 1 High Elevate Gets a Delicate “Atmosphere” Makeover
The Air Jordan 1 High Elevate is quickly becoming one of Jordan Brand’s most eccentric models, with the imprint commonly dipping it in iconic colorways. The sky-high rendition of the Air Jordan 1 recently landed in classic “Hyper Royal” and “Varsity Red” tones, now set to hit shelves in delicate “Atmosphere,” which has previously graced several Jordan Brand silhouettes. Sleek white leather is found on the base layer, which adorns the perforated toe boxes and medial panels. Black tumbled leather contrasts the mudguards, lacing systems, and collars, while pale pink touches down on the ankle flaps, concealed Wings logos, profile Swooshes, and heel counters. On the interior-facing panels, you will find full-length zippers for swift entry alongside customary black laces that continue to decorate the throats. The pair is complete with its trademark jumbo-sized midsole and chunky tinted bottoms. Take a closer look at the Air Jordan 1 High Elevate “Atmosphere” in the gallery above. The sneaker is set to drop via Nike and select retailers later this year for $145 USD. In other news, the YEEZY Supply website has gone offline.
Nike Air Foamposite One “Anthracite” Is Rumored to Return
Nike is noticeably looking to bring back several hoop catalog classics this year, one of which reportedly is the Air Foamposite One “Anthracite” colorway. At the time of writing, no official images or information has been announced, but the rumor mill is speculating that the kicks could be arriving sometime during the 2023 holiday season.The Nike Air Foamposite One “Anthracite” was first introduced to the market in 2007, and last saw a retro release in 2020. If the reports are true, it’s likely that it will return with all of its OG design elements. That would mean everything from the ribbed side panels to the nubuck overlays that sit adjacent to the throat to the mesh tongues and sole units would be smothered in its titular shade.The last time we saw an all-black Foamposite One land on the scene was COMME des GARÇONS’ two-piece capsule that launched in 2021 and struck up new momentum for the retro hoops silhouette. There won’t be any zen garden-inspired textures on this forthcoming reissue, but if you’re looking to pick up a Foamposite that flies under the radar and is just as sleek, these might be a good pair to save your coin for.Check out a look at the 2020 pair in the gallery above while more information surrounding its upcoming drop surfaces.In case you missed it, on-foot images of the Tiffany & Co. x Nike Air Force 1 Low have appeared.
