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.
A revered icon of both basketball and pop-culture history, the Air Jordan IV has a long line of storied colourways in its 32-year history. One of the most remarkable, the Black Cat, spawned from one of MJ’s nicknames, is back.
The Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘White Thunder’ rocks a black suede upper with complementing white touches on the eyelets and quarter panel. Matching white Jumpman logos embellish the tongue tag and heel. A white foam midsole equips a visible Air-sole heel unit, anchored by a herringbone-pattern rubber outsole.
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.
The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low ‘Mocha’ is the result of a collaboration between Jordan Brand and Travis Scott. The shoe’s nubuck upper construction appears in black and Dark Mocha, accented by hits of University Red. The standout feature is the lateral-side Swoosh, which sports a backward application. A standard Swoosh appears on the medial side, while the tongue, medial quarter panel and sockliner include Cactus Jack branding. The heels sport a ‘Wings’ logo on the right shoe and Scott’s crudely drawn face on the left to complete the collaborative look.
The BIRKENSTOCK Milano guarantees maximum grip and gives the feet stability in any movement scenario. This is thanks to the slightly more compact upper with two straps and the wide backstrap. The upper is made from the skin-friendly, hard-wearing synthetic material Birko-Flor®.
