Month: July 2023

Neutral tones in fashion have proven to have longevity as they can complement any environment, climate or season that you find yourself in. Thanks to Ye, moodboard social media accounts and brands like JJJJound, many fashion and footwear brands will often lean on earthy hues to implement into their products. And Nike has taken that to heart with its latest Air Max 1 “Pale Ivory” colorway which has just been unveiled by way of official imagery.Its titular shade is called upon to coat the overlays that reside towards the bottom of the throat, along the quarter panels and on the heels, and this comes complemented by a breathable mesh layer underneath that is styled in all-white. Buttery suede is positioned on the Swooshes, mudguards, eyelets and rear Nike branding, all of which are dressed up with a “Sanddrift” paint job. Downstairs, the midsoles are outfitted with a creamy exterior while the outsoles are fashioned with a three-toned presentation.Check out a detailed look at this women’s pair above, and expect Nike and select retailers to launch these in the coming months for $140 USD.In case you missed it, Yoon Ahn took to IG to preview another AMBUSH x Nike Air More Uptempo colorway.

Samuel Ross’ A-COLD-WALL* shows no signs of slowing down on the collaborative front, offering ongoing partnerships with Dr. Martens, Timberland, and more. A-COLD-WALL*’s history with Converse is not to be ignored, having released numerous models, including the Aeon Active CX and Geo Forma Boot. The British label is setting its utilitarian touch on Converse’s Chuck 70 Ox. The collaboration keeps quality craftsmanship at the forefront with a functional approach, aiming to simplify your morning routine. The low-top model is dipped in “Green” and “Dark Sapphire,” boasting tonal textile uppers, squared tongues, and debossed leather heels. Standard rubber toe caps receive “ACW_CNVS” lettering, while double-layered borders blend into classic soles. Finally, co-branded touches adorn the tongues and insoles alongside ACW ankle badges with exposed stitching. Besides footwear, A-COLD-WALL* and Converse reveal a functional clothing capsule featuring structured gilets, polos, T-shirts, and shorts in darkened Earth tones. Converse taps Japanese instrumentalist Takuya Nakamura to present the collaboration, reflecting his boundary-crossing musical attitude across the campaign. Take a closer look at the collaboration above. The footwear and apparel will be available on July 6 via A-COLD-WALL* and on July 11 through Converse and select retailers.
