First known as the Vans #36, the Old Skool debuted in 1977 with a unique new addition: a random doodle drawn by founder Paul Van Doren, and originally referred to as the “jazz stripe.” Today, the famous Vans Sidestripe has become the unmistakable-and instantly recognizable-hallmark of the Vans brand. Constructed with durable suede and canvas uppers in a range of fresh colorways, the Old Skool pays homage to our heritage while ensuring that this low top, lace-up shoe remains as iconic as ever. It also features re-enforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 v2 is a decade-defining sneaker designed by Kanye West and adidas. Given that from one release to the next, the Yeezy inventory continues to sell out instantly, the sneaker has certainly captured the attention of the mainstream audience, and its demand is through the roof. From a constructional standpoint, they feature an elastic upper comprised of the Three Stripes’ signature Primeknit material, while its bottom regions are comprised with rib-like molds that house its interior Boost midsole cushioning. Some of its earlier iterations were decorated with “SPLY-350” text hits on its traditional stripe, but variations in recent years have instead opted to keep things to a cleaner aesthetic.
It’s the rare sneaker that satisfies the “rule of three”—sometimes, having three minds is greater than one. In the case of Jordan Brand, Travis Scott and Hiroshi Fujiwara’s Fragment Design, it was a case of three masterminds coming together to collaborate on not just any Air Jordan, but the beloved Air Jordan 1—a model both the Houston rapper and the Japanese designer have tapped for past Jordan Brand link-ups. Their Air Jordan 1 Low colourway comes in familiar colour blocking schemes, but with special touches only Scott and Fujiwara could’ve conjured up. On top of an aged midsole with matching Sail laces, fresh Military Blue accents the heel, collar and insole, providing a new flavour for a classic make-up. And no need for double-takes at the Sail Swoosh—it’s indeed backwards—now a signature Scott touch for his Air Jordan 1 designs. But if anyone on the street rubbernecks while you’re rocking this collab, they’ll know who’s responsible: Cactus Jack and Fragment Design logos are embossed on the left and right heels, respectively, leaving their modern marks on this time-tested silhouette.
The neutral pink palate is a soft change on the Nike Air Max 270. A large Max Air unit and plush foam midsole offer cushioning under every step, while the stretchy inner sleeve provides a snug, socklike fit that’s sure to keep you comfortable all day, every day.

Slide into comfort in the lightweight and sporty Nike Benassi JDI Slide. It features the Nike logo on the foot strap, which is lined in super soft fabric. The foam midsole brings that beach feeling to your feet and adds spring to your kicked-back style.
The radiance lives on in the Nike Air Force 1 ’07, the b-ball OG that puts a fresh spin on what you know best: durably stitched overlays, clean finishes and the perfect amount of flash to make you shine.
