AIR JORDAN 3 ‘UNITE’

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

Michael Jordan’s performance during All-Star Weekend in 1988 in Chicago was nothing short of amazing. The event saw MJ not only win the Slam Dunk contest but also score 40 points in that Sunday’s game, taking home the MVP award as well as the victory with the East topping the West 138-133.

His Airness dazzled the crowd in a pair of ‘Black Cement 3’s’ for the game on Sunday while sporting the white pair for the Saturday Night festivities beating Dominique Wilkins in the annual Slam Dunk contest of which, is still talked about today.

Fast forward more than 30 years later and we once again have All-Star Weekend in Chicago and with that, we will see the release of the Air Jordan 3 ‘Unite.’

One can’t help but notice Chicago Bulls vibes with the all red upper along with the iconic elephant print.

Release date: February 15

Price: $200

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

Nike wants you to be ready for Spring with the vibrant Nike React Vision ‘Honeycomb.’ These silhouettes flow into the direction that it seems the sneaker giant is going in by introducing brighter hues on their models.

Inspired by Alebrijes—mythical creatures from the fever dreams of Mexican folk artists—this design fuses imaginative aesthetics with our freshest innovations. Taking cues from Mexico City’s famous Casa Gilardi, the React Vision incorporates richly textured fabrics and bright hues. The shoe’s seamless mesh upper includes a subtle pattern modeled after poison dart frogs, adding the perfect amount of bite to your look. Closer to the ground, Nike React foam delivers unrivaled all-day comfort with every step, while a plush tongue provides a soft and dreamlike feel.

Accompanying the upcoming Dior x Air Jordan 1 High is a low-cut version of the exclusive (and we predict illusive) silhouette which will also be dropping this Spring as well. Details include a clean white and grey leather upper with “Air Dior” branding on the tongues and wings logo on the heel. The swoosh logo gets an all- over Dior print displayed on the sides along with both brand names displayed on the icy translucent outsole.

THE OLYMPICS WILL NOT BAN THE NIKE ZOOMX VAPORFLY NEXT% AFTER ALL

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

The Nike ZoomX VaporFly NEXT% has definitely made it’s mark in running by putting emphasis on performance. Along with the cool aesthetic that the silhouette has, the ZoomX also has various components used to create the product we see today.

The Vaporweave on the upper is light as well as water-resistant and the pairing of the extended ZoomX foam cushioning and carbon fiber plate reduces fatigue so that energy can be preserved.

With the 2020 Tokyo Olympics approaching, The Guardian reports that World Athletics (formerly the International Association of Athletics Federation) stated that the shoe, and similar shoes with a carbon fiber plate, will not be banned from competition.

World Athletics also announced that brands can’t introduce new technology pertaining to sneakers ahead of the Summer games. Accordingly, brands will also have to submit any prototypes of future footwear to avoid approval confusion.

OFF-WHITE X AIR JORDAN 5 |Release Info.

/ StaFFF / 1 Comment


Virgil Abloh introduced “The Ten” collection with Nike back in 2017 and ever since then it seemed that the sneaker industry shifted in a way that was geared more towards creativity than just putting out colorways. Abloh’s design scheme seemed to focus on the deconstructed aspects of the sneaker as we saw almost a “rough completion” of the overall silhouette that really made it stand out from a normal or general release.

The collab on the Jordan 5 model features Abloh’s signature design on the classic “Metallic Black” makeover utilizing a slightly translucent upper, with holes added on the mid-foot caging, ankle area and along the left side of the tongue. The traditional Beaverton, Oregon branding can be seen in it’s usual spot on the side under the cage. For those looking to pick up a pair, they will be releasing on Nike.com and at select retailers for $225 during NBA All-Star Weekend on February 15th.
