Aleali May x Jordan 1 High Zoom CMFT “Califia”

Aleali May, the stylist, is back with another Jordan collaboration! After collaborating on not one, not two, but three Jordan silhouettes with Jordan Brand, the Air Jordan 1 High Zoom CMFT is her fourth release. Looking back to her past, May was inspired to create the Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT by her experiences with her high school drill team. Where she learnt the value of self-expression, community, and leadership while also building her confidence. The uppers feature a sporty blue midfoot, collar flaps, and mudguard, as well as lush green toe boxes and heels. All of which are made of simple, soft leather.

AMBUSH x Nike Dunk High

Starting off with Yooh Ahn and Nike’s next sneaker to release, the AMBUSH x Nike Dunk High in “Cosmic Fuchsia”. Following the release of this silhouette slated in “Black/White” and NBA apparel range in 2020. Dropping in early February is the flashiest color yet. Out of all of Yoon’s collaborations, the Nike Dunk High created the most buzz. Especially the “Chicago” colorway she showed via her Instagram, unfortunately they are not for resell. But luckily rumored to be releasing later on this year is the a “Royal Blue” iteration.

SALEHE BEMBURY’s ANTA Sports

As walking and hiking have become highly popular throughout the global pandemic, we added a hiking sneaker to the list. Many of us have seen images floating around the internet of Salehe Bembury’s ANTA Sports collaboration. Becoming available online on January 26th are two original silhouettes, the SB-01 and SB-02. Salehe was set on making high - quality footwear below the $100 price point, so they are more accessible. With both sneakers featuring a chunky midsole, they are perfect for rough surfaces. How can you not want a pair!

CASABLANCA New Balance XC-72

A year after we saw New Balance newest sneaker, the NB 327 (designed by Charlotte Lee) receive well deserved praise. Casablanca’s Art Director Stevie Grimes, shows us a preview of the new XC-72 model. The sneaker features two different style soles married together on one silhouette. Just like the 327, Casablanca got first dibs on the new silhouette teasing three colorways. Orange/green, cream/white and yellow/red color scheme nicknamed the “DHL”.

CONCEPTS Converse Southern Flame Chuck 70

Playing tribute to basketballs humble beginnings is the Converse x Concepts Southern Flame Chuck 70. Coming in a “Vivid Peach” platinum suede and vibrant peach print. The design refers to the peach basket placed on a 10-foot poll by a gym teacher in Springfield Massachusetts, back in 1891. This tribute to basketball history comes in unisex sizing. So girls and guys alike, can rock Concept and Converse’s modern take on basketball heritage.

SNS Asics NOVABLAST

We didn't forget the active girls out there, so here is a high performance sneaker. Dropping on February 5th at SNS and selected retailers, here is the SNS x Asics Novablast™. The lightweight breathable FLYTEFOAM BLAST™ midsole is designed for a comfortable run and for everyday wear, in a lovely monochrome "Cozy Pink" colorway. The face of the campaign is the LA-based stylist and creative Veneda Carter, showing us that the sneaker is not only functional but also highly fashionable. 

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD Asics GEL-Kayano 27 LTX

Dopo le recenti collaborazioni con Ballaholic, Andersson Bell e COMME des GARÇONS SHIRT, il noto brand di sportswear è pronto a presentare una nuova collezione con Vivienne Westwood, che ha come protagonista la silhouette GEL-Kayano 27 LTX. L'estetica futuristica della scarpa combina la creatività della designer inglese alla funzionalità del brand giapponese, ed è disponibile al prezzo di €220 sullo store online di Asics e presso rivenditori selezionati.

A MA MANIERE Air Jordan 3 “Raised by Women”

Jordan Brand has been working hard in recent years to make sneakers that appeal to their female audience, and this latest partnership is no exception. Here is the A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 3 "Raised by Women". James Whitner, the owner of A Ma Maniere, wanted to make a sneaker that speaks to today's female customers while also relating to men. Opting for a more neutral colour palette, premium materials such as grey suede, white tumbled leather, violet and off-white detailing were used. There are also ambitions to surpass the sneaker bots and "make sure the shoes get into the hands of people." So, hopefully, more women will be able to secure a pair. Set to release on April 21st, save the date!
