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.
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 9060 is a new expression of the refined style and innovation-led design of the classic 99X series. The 9060 reinterprets familiar 99X elements with a warped sensibility inspired by the proudly futuristic, visible tech aesthetic of the Y2K era. Sway bars, taken from the 990, are expanded and utilized throughout the entire upper for a sense of visible motion, while wavy lines and scaled up proportions on a sculpted pod midsole place an exaggerated emphasis on the familiar cushioning platforms of ABZORB and SBS.
The latest colorway of the Nike Zoom Fly 5, “Pink Oxford,” for women, is an additional option for those who prefer sweet, pastel colors.
The Engineered Mesh upper comes in a dull pink, Pink Oxford, and uses a sweet pink, Pink Gaze, inside, and contrasts with a transparent Swoosh with red University Red stripes. There is also a gradient of pink on the white SR-02 foam midsole. Inside is ZoomX that is left over from production, pressed into new blocks and placed inside. Of course, it still comes with a carbon plate as usual. Finished with a rubber sole that comes in black. This model is positioned as a running shoe for speed training and can be worn in competitions.
Before cementing its status as a streetwear icon and skateboarding staple, the Dunk began its journey on the university hardwood. The design made major waves in 1985 when it debuted in a pack of colour-coordinated products for university programmes. Now, a handful of those treasured team colours are back to commemorate the model’s 35th anniversary. This edition blends an upper of neutral white leather with overlays of university red. Grab this slick take on a timeless silhouette to claim a piece of footwear history.
