1. Nike Ja 1 Bright Mandarin Vapor Green
Covered in hues that include Bright Mandarin, Multi-Color, Vapor Green, Light Armory Blue, and Ashen Slate, this Nike Ja 1 is highlighted my a mismatched look as the left shoe gets covered in a mint green and the right gets engulfed in orange. Both pairs are then hit with Light Armory Blue branding and accents as well as mismatched branding on the tongues.
2. Supreme X Nike SB Darwin Low Black
Revamping the Air Darwin, a basketball shoe from the ’90s, Supreme and Nike have created the Nike SB Air Darwin Low. The resulting skate-ready low-top sneaker is said to be releasing in four colorways, with an off-white, camo and now a black look surfacing via early imagery. For this stealthy iteration, its canvas build takes on black from collar to outsole, with gray chiming in at the branding elements and Supreme’s signature red on display at the tongue tag. In addition to the lateral’s Supreme tag, a Supreme x Nike SB hang tag has been created for each pair.
3. Jordan Spizike Low Sail Coconut Milk
Taking on an official color makeup of Sail, University Red, Coconut Milk, Sandstone, and Smoke Grey, this low top offering of the Jordan Spizike Low essentially gets covered in cream hues throughout the majority of the upper with leather making up most of the sneaker along with mesh paneling on the sides. For contrast we see grey elephant print on the toes and heels as well as pops of University Red on the heel badges, Jumpman on the tongues, and lace locks. Capping off the design we see a full Sail rubber sole unit down below.
4. ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 Pre-Worn
The “Pre-Worn” edition of the Asics Gel-Kayano 14 is made for the sneaker enthusiasts that appreciate a sneaker with “character”. After all, shoes are meant to be worn, when you live life, they will get dirty, no biggie, right? The Asics Gel-Kayano 14 Pre-Worn is defined by the scuffs and marks that already come on the shoe before you even get to put them on-feet. Making the sneaker even more unique is the golden layer that you will find beneath the exterior. Although, it looks like the sneaker has seen some better days, it still manages to have a bit of a chic and modern feel to them.
5. New Balance Warped Runner Electric Yellow
The New Balance Warped Runner pushes the boundaries of what a traditional New Balance lifestyle silhouette embodies as it features an innovative design that distorts and warps the familiar. Where lifestyle meets tech-utility, the shoe blends nontraditional lines that are sculpted and exaggerated to give it a modern look and feel. This pair begins with an Electric Yellow mesh construction on the base of the upper with tonal detailing on the laces, tongues, and midsole. For contrast we see the addition of grey suede on the overlays along with black “N” logos on the side panels and a flurry of colors on the outsoles.
6. Nike Air Max 95 Black Volt
This colorway of the Nike Air Max 95 arrives in an official color scheme listed as Black, Volt, Dark Smoke Grey, and Light Smoke Grey. Constructed out of mesh, suede and nubuck, the predominantly Black upper is gently offset by the Grey hues on the overlays throughout. Defining details on this 2024 version of the Nike Air Max 95 Black Volt include the retro “Air Max” logo on the lateral ankle done in a vibrant Volt finish, while the 3M reflective hits land on the heel tabs.
7. Nike WMNS Air Max 1 Alchemy Pink
Done in an official color scheme listed as White, Alchemy Pink, Photo Blue, Sundial, and Lilac Bloom, the sneaker features a White mesh base with smooth Lilac Bloom and Sail suede overlays that work together to create a luxe and premium finish. What really sets this pair apart are the mismatched Swoosh logos on the side panels that consist of Pink Swooshes on the lateral and Blue Swooshes on the medial. Finishing touches include the Orange hits on the top eyelets and Nike branding on the tongue tags, heels and insoles, the White midsole and a tri-colored (Lilac, Blue, and Sundial) outsole.
8. Adidas AE 1 Preloved Purple
One of the boldest iterations of the model yet, the adidas AE 1 Preloved Purple is highlighted by the Purple/Pink hue on the TPU support cage that will surely turn heads and break some necks. Looking to tone things down a bit, adidas mixes in some Black hits that take care of the knit textile portion of the sneaker, laces, eyelets, lining and carbon fiber heel. Defining features on the AE 1 include the breathable perforations done in a honeycomb pattern on the upper, the large Three Stripes logo on the heels and Anthony Edward’s initials on the woven tongue tags. To help you on the court, adidas hooks up the AE 1 with a midsole equipped with Boost and Lightstrike tech that delivers both comfort and performance.
9. Air Jordan 1 Mid GS Michael Jordan’s Playground
Have you ever heard of the short film titled “Michael Jordan’s Playground”? If you said no then don’t worry because before today we hadn’t heard of it either. This made-for-video production mixes highlights of Michael Jordan from the ’80s with a fantasy storyline of a high school teen named Walt, who has been cut from his basketball team. Doubting his abilities, Walt gets some lessons from Michael Jordan himself, on the magical Playground known as Michael Jordan’s Playground. That is where the inspiration comes for this new grade school colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Mid dubbed the you guessed it, “Michael Jordan’s Playground”. This vibrant offering of the Air Jordan 1 Mid begins with a smooth Black leather on the base of the upper with washed suede on the overlays in both red and green. For more color we see red Jumpman logos on the tongues, red insoles with white Jumpman logos, and badges on the heels reading “Michael Jordan’s Playground”. White midsoles and black rubber outsoles finish off the look on this Air Jordan 1 Mid.
