?The ellesse 117 returns courtesy of Munich’s Amen, London’s Present presents a Poli, atmos Tokyo rocks the Marathon ’84 and Milan’s Special skate shop tinkers with Natas Kaupas’ notoriously appropriated Assist hightop. ?A true sequel to last year’s quintet would finish off with the Levanto lowtop, so check ellesse Heritage‘s YouTube channel for the fifth teaser video and expect these at select locations next Thursday, October 18th.. The Nike Blazer Mid LR debuted this spring and made appearances in London with a Tinie Tempah collabo and an Olympic Medal Stand makeup, and has now aged enough that they’re coming through with themed variations. ?The latest LunarLon Blazer Mids arrive with luxurious leather uppers embellished by a kiltie that’ll remind experienced sneakerheads of 2006′s Dunk Low SB ‘Golf Pack’. The sun is about to set on a whole gang of Nike Air Max styles, each of which will be outfitted with an Engineered Mesh for the upper as well as a fading orange colorway. Taking a stab at the same theme on a different sneaker is this piece from CDK, who manages a pretty impressive appropriation.
The first clue we got that the Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘Blazer’ was headed to retail and not a castoff from the Dunk x Blazer concept pioneered by Questlove, was its retention of the classic Pivot Point sole. ?Now a second colorway all but confirms these belly-Swooshed AF1 Lows will be arriving in the near future, as an Ink Blue suede joins the Smoke Grey edition we’ve seen on a couple of occasions. The Jordan Brand DJ3K Collection features a ‘Defining Moments’ theme of Black and Metallic Gold, give to the Jordan Jeter Cut Cleat and special edition Jordan Brand batting gloves. The Cleats feature a number of personal details, like his High School and professional jersey number on the inner tongues of both shoes, a custom insole featuring a personal contract between he and his father, drafted before High School, and Jeter’s response to that contract – ‘I Agree’ – on the inner tongue label.
Fortunately for sneakerheards worldwide, Nike is on the Basketball Never Stops plan, which in turn means that the killer colorways shouldn’t stop anytime soon either. So while we won’t be seeing either of these versions of the Nike Zoom Kobe VI on any NBA feet this year, that shouldn’t stop you from stacking pairs for yourself. This detailed look at two upcoming colorways reveal the no-sew upper of the three-layer Fuse material, with hints of a shiny metallic silver to give shoe a sleek and sexy look. The Air Max 90 Hyperfuse is clearly trimmed of excess fat, and is likely to weigh considerably less than the full-leather/suede version we see today. ?Now featuring a bright orange logo, these?Kamikaze IIIs?have quite a bit more energy, though the earlier iteration may have been more conducive to a range of accent colors via lace swapping. ?Click through to see some more photos and let us know which version you prefer.
