Sneakers to release this weekend - from April 7th to 9th 2017
From the Converse collaboration to the Nike More Uptempo and much more
April 7th, 2017
This week welcomes us with a lot of variety. Recently we saw a lot of "focus" on a peculiar brand or silhouette, especially during the "Air Max Day" celebrations. This weekend every kind of taste will be pleased. As soon as your fingers are fast of course.
#1 Neighborhood x Converse
Converse, together with pioneer Tokyo-based streetwear brand Neighborhood pays homage to Hardcore Music and Culture. Both of the brands have a long-time relationship with music and culture underground. Also, there is a history of mutual respect and inspiration behind the two brand that is not new to collaborations. The shoe features premium suede, a reworked star branding that recalls subversive music culture and special sole lettering. In the mid version, the sneaker features a special compression strap and motorcycle culture-inspired branding.
#2 Nike Air More Uptempo "Bulls"
We recently heard a lot about the Air Sup-Tempo that are splitting the audience into two halves and receiving mixed reviews. Nike wanted to make the Uptempo purists happy dropping the sneakers in a classic Chicago Bulls color scheme. The shoe features a perforated leather upper base in a varsity color, patented leather "AIR" calligraphy and 3M reflective "AIR" lining. In addition, the shoes have embroidered on the heel "1996" in order to pay homage to the season Chicago Bulls won their fourth NBA title in six seasons and reached the record of 72 wins and 10 loses.
#3 Reigning Champ x adidas Ultraboost 3.0 "Clear Grey"
The Vancouver-based clothing label teams up once again together with adidas, this time in order to rework the iconic Ultraboost 3.0 runners. The sneaker is a triumph of essentialism. The breathable primeknit as been added with aluminum in order to underline the texture of the upper. The three-striped cage has been crafted in premium suede and the whole shoe features a premium craftsmanship for the occasion.
#4 Jordan 13 low "Brave Blue"
Previously known as "Navy Blue" the sneakers underwent a process of rebranding in order to make them more attractive. Yet the sneaker that is about to be released is very similar to its first 1988 iteration. The shoes feature a "Carolina Blue" upper on a black base, a black midsole with white accents and mesh and suede heel.
