Air Jordan 5 ‘Green Bean’

Jordan is reviving a fan favourite from 2006, the night-ready ‘Green Bean’. The entirely silver upper is designed to light up in the dark making it a show-stopper at night. During the day, there’s still plenty to marvel at though including the neon green accents and embroidered Jumpman logo on the heel. Nike is due to drop these online on 6th June.

Air Kukini SE ‘Kumquat and Action Red’

The Air Kukini SE is one of the more radical silhouettes in the Nike roster so it’s only right that it gets a bold colourway. This latest release features stretchy neoprene fabric with a leopard print pattern bringing ’90s Spice Girls vibes. That nod to the ’90s is extended with the sporty mid-sole with visible air cushioning. Keep an eye on Nike on 26th May to buy.

Outdoor, adventure-leaning footwear is dominating the sneaker game right now and adidas is adding another silhouette to the mix with the Roverend. It takes elements from archival adidas silhouettes and redesigns them with outdoor-ready features. Set on an exaggerated rubber outsole, these shoes are one of the bulkier adidas releases but they manage to be both durable and forward-thinking. They are available from adidas right now.

Reebok x Tyrrell Winston Club C 85

From Maison Margiela to Cardi B, Reebok’s Club C has experienced a renaissance recently. Tyrrell Winston is the latest to offer up his vision of the Club C. Known for his basketball-based installations, he’s offered up a minimal take on the Club C that references his own work. The neutral-toned palette is elevated by his take on the New York logo which appears on the tongue. Subtype currently has these listed as ‘Coming Soon’.

Crocs x Salehe Bembury Clog ‘Crocodile’

The jury may forever be out on whether Crocs can be cool or not but it’s hard to look away when it’s a Salehe Bembury croc. Bembury has completely reworked the clog, removing the trademark holes in favour of concave ridges. The straps are removable so you can use the clogs for both comfortable, everyday wear and for outdoor adventure. The ‘Crocodile’ colourway means there’s no hiding these, not that there’s any reason to when it’s a Bembury shoe.
