Nike Lebron 2 “USA” ‘Midnight Navy’

These were worn by Lebron during the 2004 Olympics but they don’t tell much of a success story. Team USA ended up taking home bronze ending a streak for the country in the Olympics. Regardless, it’s all about the look of this retro release. The shoes look great, with the oversized lace strap and patterned outsole, and that’s really all that matters.

New Balance x thisisneverthat 1906R

South Korea’s thisisneverthat has collaborated with New Balance once again, digging into the archives to pull out a silhouette that’s out of rotation. The 1906R is a running shoe from the early 2000s but it’s strangely perfect for current footwear trends. The treatment makes the shoes look like they were first worn back in the ’00s too, delivering blemishes on the mesh and yellowed ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning. Reflective synthetic overlays, however, give them a futuristic pop. 28th October is the date to head on over to New Balance.
