Nike Air Jordan 2 Low ‘Python’
Minimalist yet far from boring, the AJ2, renowned for its sleek and pared-down design since its debut in ’86, embraces a fresh serpentine colourway. The clean blend of white and Cement Grey, with Sail accents adding a touch of luxury, follows the classic formula. However, the python print overlays elevate these low-cut kicks from the mundane into something really special. These are going to go quick when they drop on 7th February at Nike.
Nike Terminator Low ‘Sesame and Coconut Milk’
The Nike Terminator Low, untouched and unaltered, is a direct throwback from the vault, bringing you straight back to 1985 (or perhaps living it for the first time). The Sesame and Coconut Milk colour combination adds a soft touch with neutral hues, while premium materials will keep you cosy. The retro branding delivers a big varsity finish that feels both athletic and perfect for modern streetwear. Head to Nike for your chance to cop on 7th February.
Nike Air Jordan 4 ‘Bred Reimagined’
The Air Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined presents the iconic “Bred” colourway in a novel material iteration featuring premium, full-grain leather and fresh packaging. The shape, fit, and feel have been re-engineered back to the original ’89 specs for the first time ever. Dressed in rich black leather with striking hits of Fire Red and Cement Grey, this reimagined icon is a celebratory nod to its 35th anniversary, bringing it to a whole new generation. 17th February is when you need to be at the ready on the Nike site.
adidas Y-3 GSG9 Low
adidas comes through with a low-cut iteration of the iconic Y-3 GSG9. The Y-3 GSG9 delivers pure luxury with a full leather construction, offering an exceptionally soft feel reminiscent of well-worn leather gloves. This premium edition incorporates shape-hugging stitching and a revamped toecap, breathing new life into the classic GSG9 design cues. The shoe bears Yohji Yamamoto’s signature, laser-engraved on the heel, adding a distinctive touch. Head to adidas right now to get your hands on a pair.
Asics Gel-Quantum Kinetic ‘Graphite Grey/Black’
The GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC merges experimental engineering with urban practicality. Its synthetic leather and mesh-panel upper are there for comfort, drawing design cues from ASICS’ iconic running franchises. The midsole, a product of ASICS Institute of Sport Science expertise, boasts Scutoid GEL technology. This intricately designed 3D geometry and off-axis structure enhance shock absorption during daily activities like city commuting or extended standing. On top of that, the sneakers just look really damn good, combining a Y2K aesthetic with futuristic detailing. Head to Subtype right now to grab a pair.
adidas x Kader Sylla Samba ADV
US skateboarder Kader Sylla teams with adidas on the Samba ADV, blending a distinctive colour palette with thoughtful material selections. Luxurious brown suede graces the toe, Three Stripes, eye stays, and heel. The foundation, fashioned from black tumbled leather, imparts a premium texture while creating the perfect contrast against the rich brown. Gold accents steal the eye, prominently featuring “Kader” text on the midfoot and the Trefoil logo adorning the tongue. The design is capped off with a gum rubber sole unit, adding a classic touch to this unique Samba creation. Enter the raffle for your chance to become an owner over at Highs and Lows.
