/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

A sample pair of Virgil Abloh’s Nike Air Force 1 “MCA” was up for grabs on Stadium Goods. The pair was available in a size 12 and although they looked similar to the pair that were released last year, there were also subtle differences as well.

The original pair had a light blue midsole while this sample pair showcases an all black midsole. The “AIR” is still prevalent on the midsole which is painted in white. Also of note is the stitching which is now black as opposed to the blue stitching from the original.

Virgil Abloh, who we assume has a an array of unreleased samples, wore these Air Force 1’s ahead of his Paris Fashion Week runway show in 2020. Check out the images above.

LeBron’s 18th signature shoe is next on the horizon following in a legendary line of long-time Nike athletes like Michael Jordan And Kobe Bryant. Earlier, in the NBA “bubble,” it was speculated that King James was seen in the Nike LeBron 18. We now have an official look at the design of Lebron’s upcoming sneaker.

LeBron’s signature shoes follow a distinct aesthetic that the 18 will encompasses as well such as the Battleknit from the LeBron 15, the TPU and yarn from the LeBron 17 and the TPU on the heel from the LeBron 16.

LeBron has always loved experimenting with Max Air cushioning. He loves the way it feels. With the 18, we played with different expressions of air in novel ways, with the goal to impart this new look

Jason Petrie, Nike Basketball Designer

Setting this silhouette aside from past silhouettes is the extra focus on the forefoot and a redesigned outsole that puts emphasis on comfort and fluidity while moving.

The Nike LeBron 18 hits retailers Nike.com this September. Check back for more info.

The second installment of Virgil Abloh’s Off-White Jordan 5 series will be releasing soon. Abloh previewed a sample of a pair dubbed “Plot Twist” a few months ago that looked quite different than the pic above.

This “Sail” colorway gives us a first look at what the silhouette will look like upon release which shows a different sole than what was previously seen. These Air Jordan 5’s will now show a “Fire Red” sole as opposed to the white sole from the initial photo that was shown months back. Added touches include Virgil’s signature yellow tinchture to the translucent spots that give off an aged look. The “Sail” will also have the holes at the mid foot and ankle that the wearer would be able to cut out. Although there is no release date as of yet, the speculation is that these could potentially drop before the year is over.

**UPDATE 07/14/20**

The Grateful Dead Bears x Nike SB Dunk Low now has a release date of July 24.

The Grateful Dead Bears x Nike SB Dunk Low is the result of a collaborative effort from Nike and it’s homage to Grateful Dead’s 1973 album, History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One (Bear’s Choice). The album was illustrated by Bob Thomas in which he debuted teddy bear characters with color schemes similar to the SB silhouette.

Features of this sneaker include a suede upper with faux fur displayed on the side panels, collar and toe box. Much different from previous Nike SB models is this silhouette has a Swoosh that’s made in a zigzag pattern that’s just like the bear character’s collar. Rounding out the design is a unique stash pocket embedded in the tongue.

No release date is set in stone but check out the pics above in the mean time.
