Air Jordan 1 ‘Denim’
The timeless Air Jordan 1 makes an appearance in its latest iteration. Featuring an all-out washed denim construction, the Air Jordan 1 ‘Denim’ is being offered in women’s, preschool, and toddler sizing options. The silhouettes spotlight additional embroidered details and a Jordan bamboo hoop deubré with gold metallic finishes. The tumbled leather upper pairs seamlessly with the denim overlays, while the frayed edges offer a worn-in look. Iconic Wings branding is seen at the ankle, while the molded Jumpman branding offers further dimension. The entire design is supported by the encapsulated Air-sole cushioning and rubber outsole.
Nike LeBron 2 ‘Maccabi’
LeBron James’ legacy continues with the reissued LeBron 2 silhouette. This premium all-time coveted sneaker is straight from the vault and references the preseason exhibition game against the Maccabi Elite Rel Aviv team in 2004. The sneaker is treated with premium leather that wraps around the toe, quarter, heel, and removable ankle straps. Embossed branding resides at the ankle flap, while LeBron’s iconic King James lion logo is embellished at the ankle and the medial side of the ankle flap. Additional accenting resides at the eyelets and collar, while a midfoot Xytel shank supports the molded sole unit for added stability.
Air Jordan 1 ‘Taxi’
Introduced in men’s, grade school, preschool, and toddler size ranges, the new Air Jordan 1 ‘Taxi’ is making an impression on this week’s release lineup. Referencing the iconic color blocking on the Air Jordan 1 ‘Bred Toe’ from 2018, the silhouette’s all-leather upper combines seamlessly with a white quarter panel with a yellow toe box. A forefoot overlay and signature Swoosh make an additional appearance. The retro Wings logo is stamped at the lateral side, while the woven Nike Air tag blends in with the nylon tongue. The entire sneaker is supported by a durable rubber outsole and signature Air cushioning.
Nike x Matthew M. Williams 005 Slide ‘Black’ + ‘Light Bone and Chrome’
Nike collides once again with Matthew M. Williams, the founder and creative director of 1017 ALYX 9SM. The icon is best known for his ability to push fashion into new spaces and often combines the influence of the U.S. and Europe with each of his fashion innovations. The Nike x Matthew M. Williams 005 Slide is offered in ‘Black’ and ‘Light Bone and Chrome’ colorways. The slide is designed with dual-foam seen at the outsole for optimal comfort and also includes a stability plate inserted between. An airy foam upper is placed and includes perforations for added breathability. The drainage holes underneath help keep the silhouette dry.
Nike Dunk Low ‘Argon’
The latest Nike Dunk Low is a must-have for any Dunk collector. The imitable Nike Dunk Low is now being reintroduced in its latest colorway, ‘Argon.’ Available in preschool and toddler sizing and once a Japan-only exclusive, the crisp leather upper spotlights additional leather overlays. A contrasting Swoosh makes an appearance, while the woven Nike tag adorns the breathable and comfortable nylon tongue. A leather back tab proudly displays the signature Nike wordmark in slanted block lettering. A rubber outsole is placed to support the sneaker and offer a durable finish.
