A bunch of early 2018 sneakers
There are a couple of "signature shoes" and the ones to celebrate "Black History Month"
January 3rd, 2018
Even if 2018 is literally moving its first steps, the sneakers world didn’t even take a 5-minute break, and between the latest days of the last year and the first ones of the new one, there’s already so much you may have missed. Particularly with adidas and Jordan, that unveiled some new sneakers models that will come in the next months.
Air Jordan 1 Flyknit "Black History Month”
This is a pair of sneakers that the Jordan Brand created to celebrate the months dedicated to the Afro-American achievement in the US. It’s based on the classic ’85 Air Jordan 1 silhouette and it has a Flyknit upper with the color of the Pan-African flag: black, green and red. The white midsole contrast with the black of the shoe, that is also the color of leather Jordan branding and Swoosh, while the sole has the same colors of the upper.
The Air Jordan 1 Flyknit "Black History Month” will release next month.
Jordan Fly Next “Creamsicle”
Let’s stick with Jordan, with one that is more of a leak that an official release. These are the brand new Jordan Fly Next and they’re very likely to be Russell Westbrook’s first signature shoes. There are plenty of hints, like the blue and orange colorway, Thunder MVP’s “Why Not?” trademark. Also on the tongue, there seems to be Oklahoma City point guard's “W”.
There aren’t any official release date, but the brand new Jordan Fly Next is already a very talked one.
adidas Harden Vol. 2
There also are the first pics of James Harden’s, adidas’ cover boy, brand new signature shoe. The Volume 2 will feature the latest Primeknit and BOOTS technologies, with a striking red-purple color. The upper is a combination of materials: mesh on the tongue, Primeknit on the toe, leather around the ankle and polyurethane lacing system. This is the most intriguing part of the sneaker, as it allows to custom you lacing asset according to your preferences.
There’s no official release date yet, but the new adidas Harden Vol. 2 should arrive in time for the All-Star weekend in mid-February.
