Following the release of a Jordan Luka 1 “Year of the Rabbit” colorway, Luka Dončić’s first signature shoe now arrives in a classic two-tone “Oreo” makeup.First introduced during the summer of last year, Dončić’s performance low-tops arrive in a sleek aerodynamic frame featuring mesh uppers with TPU and Flightwire cable overlays. Medial side branding accents are mismatched with the latin text “non desistas non exieris,” meaning “never give up, never surrender,” on the right shoe and “Jordan Brand Basketball” on the left. Dončić’s signature logo adorns the tongue tabs and insoles while various Jumpman logos are scattered throughout. Rounding out the look are sculpted sole units consisting of full-length Formula23 foam, an IsoPlate system, and semi-translucent outsoles.Take an official look at the Jordan Luka 1 “Oreo” above and look for the pairs to release in the coming months via Nike and select retailers for $110 USD.Elsewhere in footwear, take a look at these unreleased Virgil Abloh-designed “Faux Fur” Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1s.

ASICS continues to flex its collaborative muscle as it now teams up with Korean label UNAFFECTED on the GEL-KAYANO 14 in three tasteful colorways. Previously, the silhouette has served as a canvas for sought-after releases including last year’s JJJJound collaboration that landed in many “shoe of the year” considerations for 2022. As ASICS’ brand visibility remains on the rise — particularly within fashionable crowds — its list of partners climbs.Joining the mix, UNAFFECTED now teams up with the Japanese footwear brand in crafting yet another street-ready look on the GEL-KAYANO 14. Ranging from “Emerald Green” to “White” and “Silver” colorways, the duo has struck a balance — one common with ASICS footwear as of late — that offers eye-catching attributes without going too far. Black hops in the mix on all three to bring the colors together, cementing each pair as a complement to many color palettes. Considering the silhouette, the GEL-KAYANO 14’s mesh base, synthetic overlays and geometric sole unit return alongside a unique thin cord lacing system that extends to the toe box.As of now, little details regarding the collaboration’s release are known. As part of UNAFFECTED’s FW23 presentation, pairs are likely to land on shelves this fall, possibly as an Asia-exclusive launch. Stay tuned as we await official word from both parties.UNAFFECTED × ASICS 『GEL-KAYANO 14』が2023年秋冬に発売予定 ［アンアフェクテッド アシックス 2023AW スニーカー ゲルカヤノ14］https://t.co/kIm9Cvqvil pic.twitter.com/C6KfNtjLz7— ?? ?? ????
