Nike is getting ready for a white winter with its latest edition of the Nike Air VaporMax Plus. Arriving in the “White Chrome” colorway, the shoe is set to match the fresh layer of crisp snow hitting the ground in the coming months.The technical sneaker comes in a predominantly white color scheme that extends all the way to the TPU cage and the textile base upper. The shoe’s mini Swoosh on the heel matches the shank plate in chrome finish, giving the shoe an added luxe look. The white color scheme is also seen on the inner lining and laces. The shoe sits atop a transparent full-length VaporMax sole unit to round out the design.Look out for the Nike Air VaporMax Plus “White Chrome” in the coming months at select retailers and online at Nike for $210 USD.In other footwear news, Stüssy and Clarks Originals has unveiled a new collaboration.

Deon Point, the Creative Director of Boston-based Concepts has teased a potential rerelease of one of its most popular New Balance collaborations to date — the Made in U.S. New Balance 998 “C-Note.”Originally released in 2013, the pair’s inspiration comes from the $100 bill redesign that was rereleased the same year. Its upper features neutral tones to reflect the paper of the bill, a blue strip at the toe mirroring that of the iconic redesign and minimal bronze accents that symbolize the Liberty Bell featured on the 2013 note.With the bill and associated 998 now being a decade old, Point teased the pair with the headline “Old Money,” leading to speculation that a re-issue might be in the works. Other factors that lend to this likelihood include the fact that the 998 is coming up on its 30th anniversary.However, it’s also possible that if there is a rerelease, it will visit the updated 998 Made in U.S. model revealed by Teddy Santis earlier this year, rather than the OG silhouette. At the time of writing, no official confirmation of a re-issue has been shared by Concepts or Point but we remain hopeful.See Point’s original teaser post below. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Deon Point (@deonpoint)Elsewhere in footwear, the New Balance 580 has surfaced in Washed Burgundy.
