Diadora first debuted the Mythos 280 as part of its 2009 running catalogue, and now the classic running sneaker is set to see a re-release for the first time ever. Originally created in partnership with Gelindo Bordin — who won the marathon at the Seoul Olympic Games in 1988, becoming the first-ever Italian distance runner to take gold in the event — the Mythos is an important part of brand history, even more so now that Bordin is Diadora’s marketing and merchandising director.Uppers are constructed from a retro silver and black mesh, one that’s accented with swooping heel and cut-out forefoot overlays. A signature Diadora logo appears on the midfoot, connected to the forefoot overlay for a unique look. Red hits are introduced on the heel and toebox, while tongues feature a special graphic that combines a golden Olympic wreath with an Italian flag and one more Diadora hit. Down below, EVA foam midsoles are reinforced with wavy red TPU plates, providing a blend of responsiveness and comfort.The Diadora Mythos 280 will release via the Diadora webstore come February 20, and is limited to a scant 600 pairs. A retail price has yet to be announced.For more footwear news, check out a new Under Armour runner that the brand says is its “fastest shoe yet.”

One of the more modernized silhouettes within Jordan Brand’s lifestyle lineup, the Air Jordan 1 High Zoom CMFT has been full head of steam in recent memory revealing itself via a collaboration with Aleali May along with accompanying GR colorways. Now, the model is taking a moment to cater to its women’s audience by being produced with a new “Canyon Rust” theme.As one can probably gather from its moniker, the iteration is heavily reliant on earthy hues to outfit its upper half. Base layers are split between materials of natural leather and suede, the former constructing the forefoot and throat overlays while the latter forms the builds of the toe boxes, ankle flaps, quarters and heel overlays. These Jordan kicks are lead by the titular shading which floods the mid-foot as well as the darker browns that dye the tongues, toe boxes and panels that house the wings logos. Dusty lavender leathers are positioned atop the forefoot and lower heel while a rosy pink paints over the toe tips and throat overlays. Moreover, both the Swooshes and interior foam lining are both dressed with clean white finishes.Lying underneath are midsoles and outsoles identically styled with “Sail” surfaces.You can view a gallery of official images above, and note that these will launch via Nike Japan on February 24 for ￥17,050 (approx. $161 USD).For more sneaker news, the A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 3 collaboration has been revealed.

Nike is paying homage to New York City’s bodegas — small convenience stores that are the lifeblood of neighborhoods from Harlem to Bushwick and Astoria — with two new Air Force 1s dubbed “Pink Bag” and “White Bag.” Drawing inspiration from the reusable shopping bags found in bodegas until the recent city-wide plastic bag ban curtailed their numbers, both pairs are a homage to urban life and the businesses that make the Big Apple unique.As their names suggest, the “Pink Bag” features a soft pink leather upper while the “White Bag” opts for a crisp white leather upper. Each top half is entirely monochromatic in style, save for the tongue tag which serves a repeating red Nike Sportswear graphic for a tweaked take on a familiar bag graphic. Though the tongue tag offers a mark that’s familiar to any city dweller, the white midsole supplies each shoe’s signature flourish by adding a rose graphic around the lateral side’s Air branding.On the “Pink Bag,” this embellishment is done up entirely in red. On the “White Bag,” the red rose is accentuated by a green stem and leaf. Final hits of detail are supplied by Swooshed smiley faces and “Have a Nike Day” text hits on the insoles plus embroidered Nike graphics on the heel. Classic white outsoles complete the look.The Nike Air Force 1 “Pink Bag” and “White Bag” are both set to release via Nike SNKRS Japan come February 24. The MSRP for each is set at a tax-included ¥13,200 JPY (approximately $125 USD).For more footwear news, take a detailed look at the sacai x Nike Blazer Low “Dark Grey.”
