Born on the pitch, the Samba is a timeless icon of street style. This silhouette stays true to its legacy with a tasteful, low-profile, soft leather upper, suede overlays and gum sole, making it a staple in everyone’s closet – on and off the pitch.
In September 1985, Nike and MJ launched the Air Jordan 1. A month later, they were “banned” by the league. Although the AJ1 is a sports and streetwear icon now, back when the sneakers debuted, they were highly disruptive and instantly revolutionary. While the league may have tried to stop MJ from lacing up in the original AJ1, they couldn’t do anything to temper the fans, so “They Can’t Stop You From Wearing Them” became a defiant rallying cry. Now, the spirit of the sneaker is brought to life through the ‘Rebellionaire’ Air Jordan 1, which features that same not-so-subtle reminder printed all over the style’s upper, and includes a Red “X” mark on the heel to commemorate the birth of the banned legend.
The Nike Dunk Low ‘Black White’ also known as ‘Panda’ treats the retro model to an essential two-tone color scheme that accentuates the sneaker’s clean lines, developed by designer Peter Moore and responsible for the shoe’s easy transition from the hardwood to the street. The leather upper combines a white base with contrasting black overlays that wrap around the toe and heel. On both the woven tongue tag and heel tab, Nike branding in white stands out in relief against a black backdrop.
We took two of our most iconic clog silhouettes — Baya and Crocband™ — and combined them to create a special pair that elevates the sleek, fashion-athletic spirit of the originals to another level. The result is a go-anywhere style staple that lets you slide in and stay cool while throwing off an extra pop of Crocs spirit.
This actually isn’t the first time that the Kobe, Japan-based brand has applied a grayscale approach to this silhouette, but we haven’t seen this particular colorway before. The mixture of materials is very similar to previous GEL-NYC releases; the predominantly “Black” upper is nicely contrasted by a shiny silver overlay, and “Graphite Gray” appears throughout the sole, with a nice gradient shift at the midsole.
