Image
Adidas is resurrecting its basketball division by teaming up with Atlanta Hawks player Trae Young to release a special sneaker and clothing range bearing his name. Young made history by being the first player in NBA history to have a 45-point, 10-assist game in the Conference Finals while wearing the brand's new Trae Young 1 shoe, providing for an excellent marketing campaign ahead of the shoe's debut. “Adidas and I worked very closely on my first signature shoe and I’m hyped to finally let fans get a hold of them. When you wear these, you’re repping that ice cold mentality and the entire city of Atlanta,” Young said in a press release. “This moment is really special as it’s a reminder to the next generation of hoopers that through hard work and focus you can achieve your dreams. Trae Young 1 is a symbol of that for me.” The Trae Young 1 was built in close collaboration with Trae to accommodate his multi-directional playing style and distinctive methods of moving on the court. ...

Take A Closer Look At The Travis Scott x Nike Air Max 1 For The First Time

Image
Even though we're nearing the end of the year, there's still a lot of heat to be had. From a plethora of Yeezy releases to a bevy of Off-White collaborations, the Travis Scott x Nike Air Max 1 is the collection we're most excited about. We had no idea what to anticipate when the initial leaks of this Air Max 1 collaboration surfaced over seven months ago. The mock-ups were a touch shady, and most of the information around the drop seemed off. After all, why would La Flame release five AM1s in a row?! He's never done anything like that before! As we have our finest look yet at the "Baroque Brown" and the "Wheat," it appears he'll be proving us wrong. These two pairs, painted in an earthy palette and vivid tones, appear to be from opposing ends of the color spectrum. The "Baroque Brown" features vivid red highlights, whilst the "Wheat" features strong cyan colours. All of this is painted on top of a beautiful ballistic mesh, qua...

Nike Is Planning To Release An Air Max BW In Beijing

Image
The Air Max BW's 30th anniversary celebrations will continue with a fresh addition to the city-inspired colorways of Los Angeles, Lyon, and Rotterdam. With OG color-blocking meeting luxury materials, the new version is designed to honor Beijing, China's capital city. The ‘Beijing' starts with a black and white base, similar to the original BW colorway, but adds a rich shade of chocolate brown to the tongue, Swoosh, ankle collar, and midsole strip. The top is made of heavily padded nylon in accordance with OG specifications, however the remainder of the upper is far from standard. The mesh has been redesigned to seem like diamond plate steel, and the tumbling grain of the leather mudguard and eyestays can be seen from a mile away. Nike has incorporated gold accents to the dubrae and even the insole design, indicating that they are well aware of the luxury. When it comes to the Beijing link, the city name replaces the Air Max lettering on the heel, and Chinese characters appe...

Money-Printing Adidas The Jeremy Scott ‘Wings' Is Now Available In A Low-Top Version

Image
Only 100 pairs of Jeremy Scott's iconic money-printed Adidas Forum shoe were released in 2003, when he and the brand introduced them. Scott has now introduced a new version of the cash-covered sneakers, after re-releasing a somewhat more accessible 1,200 pairs of the high-top shoe. The designer's maximalist approach is toned down significantly with the Forum 84 Low ADV, which is trimmed to ankle length but still features the designer's distinctive dollar pattern and winged attachments. It's the first time the JS Money Wings sneaker has been released as a low-top shoe, however the Forum's forthcoming release may be the final chance for fans to get their hands on one. Except for the cream laces, Adidas Trefoil tongue tag, and Three Stripes, the Forum's top is entirely covered with money designs. The low-top shoe lacks the dark green embellishments of its high-top sibling, making it slightly more wearable. For good measure, Scott's autograph is engraved onto th...
