Released in 1989, with the ability to seamlessly blend on-court performance with fashion, the Air Jordan 4 Retro sneakers arrive now in a black and red colourway. Here, the sneaker upper is built with leather and contrasted by the mesh netting and signature Jumpman logo patch on the tongue. Underfoot, the black PU midsole houses visible Air in the heel to provide cushioning, giving way to a herringbone rubber outsole for traction.
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.
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.
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.
