Following the official look at the Nike Air Max Pulse in the “Photon Dust” palette, the new model is launching as a part of the annual celebration of the Air Max line. Already back the iconic Air Max 1 ’86 “Big Bubble,” Nike has now introduced a khaki colorway to the Air Max Pulse.The shoe comes constructed with a mixture of materials including a mesh upper and leather panels. The Nike Air Max Pulse features notable details, including an updated Air Max heel unit, drawing information from the Air Max 270. A newly designed upper, the shoe’s breathable mesh and leather dresses the upper, evoking more design elements from the Max models from the past. The bottom half of the upper features an extended mudguard and appears to be reinforced at the heel. Branding on the spine of the heel is reminiscent of the 1970s style similar to the “Air” text on the outsole. The shoe sits atop a icy blue translucent outsole to round out the design.Look out for the Nike Air Max Pulse “Khaki/Black” in the new colorway arriving in the coming months at select retailers and on Nike.In case you missed it, here are some of the best footwear trends at Paris Fashion Week.

Action Bronson Teases a New Balance 990v6 Collaboration in Blue
Collaborations continue to play a significant role in New Balance’s continued success story, and after recently flexing recent projects with the likes of AURALEE and Miu Miu, the Boston sportswear imprint is now bringing our attention back to its partnership with Action Bronson. The rapper, wrestler and chef is already expected to release his forthcoming New Balance 990v6 “Baklava” colorway to the masses, but now we’re learning that a second iteration might also be in order given that he just teased them via Instagram.The on-foot shot of Bronson rocking the pair isn’t taken at the closest range, but we can get a good feel of the pair’s vivid palette along with collaborative apparel that he confirms Teddy Santis assisted in bringing to life. Pigskin suede forms the lifestyle kicks’ overlays and gets flooded with a denim-esque blue and this is complemented by silver “N” logos on the lateral and medial panels and navy blue toe boxes and side panels. Tongues carry over the “Baklava” branding and get backdropped in baby blue while the laces are done up with a golden brown finish to match up with the underfoot. Furthermore, the midsole pieces have been coated with a creamy finish to round off its design.There’s no word on an official launch date just yet, but expect Action Bronson and New Balance to confirm more details in the coming months.

Reebok’s Question Mid “Green Toe” Is a Love Letter to Michigan State
In the 2000 NCAA basketball national championship, the Michigan State Spartans went head-to-head against the Florida Gators and came out with a 89–76 victory. That Spartans team was coached by Tom Izzo and had elite talent like Mateen Cleaves, Charlie Bell and Morris Peterson on its roster. And to honor this moment in sports history, Reebok is bringing back the very kicks that they laced up during that March Madness title game: the Question Mid “Green Toe.”The color scheme of these retro-inspired kicks is straightforward and matches up with the East Lansing-based school’s official colors. Upper halves are made up of angelic tumbled leather and breathable mesh, the former of which makes up the side panels while the latter is positioned on the throat. This cleaner neutral base allows the “Pine Green” accents do all of the talking. Spartan-friendly accents are then dispersed to the sultry suede toe caps, vector logos on the quarters and tongues, lace loops, heel windows that host the signature Question logos, “3” hits on the lower heels to nod to Allen Iverson and the hexagon pods on the midsoles.Peep a closer look the pair above and expect Reebok to launch these on March 25 for $170 USD.Elsewhere in sneakers, check out the 194 Local x Reebok Beatnik collaboration.
