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.
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.
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 iconic AJ3 ‘Black Cat’ returns. Drawn from MJ’s famed moniker, the black and Dark Charcoal design mixes leather, nubuck and polished patent-leather accents for a luxe and true-to-form finish. Reviving the stealthy ’07 take on the original, this model features elephant print on the lacing to match the signature overlays that wrap the toe tip and heel.
