Air Jordan Cement Print Towel Set

Jordan Brand’s signature cement pattern is by far one of the most recognized and admired patterns. Since originally appearing on the Air Jordan 3 in 1988, the cement pattern has appeared on several different Jordan sneakers, a variety of apparel items and a ton of accessories. The more Jordan fanatics rave over the pattern, the more JB implements it on products.
Their most recent venture with the cement pattern brings us this 2-piece towel set. The set includes a large 47.2″ x 23.6″ towel that’s perfect for beach use and a smaller 27.6″ x 13.8″ towel that’s acceptable for the gym. Both feature a cement grey pattern in reverse fashion, with one side of the towel featuring a grey base with black cement and the other side featuring a black base with grey cement.

WMNS Nike Dunk Low – Light bulb/White

No stranger to the Dunk this year, canvas dresses this new color offering of the WMNS Nike Dunk Low.  One last hit of Lightbulb on the outsole finishes things off. A pale shade of yellow, dubbed “Lightbulb”, covers the base of the canvas built upper, paired with leather in the same color on the Swoosh and heel tab. The difference in textures adds subtle contrast to the tonal upper, with white lending a hand on the lining, laces and midsole.These women’s Nike Dunk’s are available now through e-tailer Shopshomes and on eBay.

With the launch of Diamond Supply Co.’s DVS-produced footwear line approaching, Nicky Diamonds feeds us a preview of a model known as the VVS. If you recall, this silhouette was originally spotted back in January when several of the brand’s footwear model’s we’re showcased at Agenda in tonal colorways of black, white and red.
The white pair shown here differs from the white pair shown then, with these featuring accents of Mocha on the tongue tag and behind the ankle wing as opposed to the solid white finish on the other pair. As to which of the two will hit retailers, we’ll have to wait a little longer to find out when Diamond Supply Co. debuts it’s long-awaited footwear series this summer.

New Balance 577 “Day N Night” Pack x HAL

New Balance seems to be collaborating with everyone as of late, and the trend continues as here we feature a collection they’ve created alongside Australian boutique Highs and Lows (HAL). The shop had a huge part in the collaboration, as it includes their design inspirations. Dubbed the “Day N Night” Pack, the collection consists of two colorways in the New Balance 577 model.

Nike Challenger – Obsidian / Metallic Gold

We haven’t seen the Nike Challenger since the black / blue version we previewed back in December, but the classic shoe is back once again, but unfortunately they are said to be Footlocker UK exclusives. Metallic gold accents are visible on the “Nike” logo, swoosh, and heel tab. The shoe boasts a build that combines suede, mesh, leather, and a cotton textile, making it very diverse.
The upper is graced with an obsidian blue upper, while a matching hue sits along the bottom half of the midsole. If they happen to make their way stateside, we will definitely inform you guys.

Nike Air Max 95 – Photo Blue / Green Apple

The timeless Nike Air Max 95 has made its way to UK sneaker chain JD Sports, and is currently available there in a range of sizes. Vibrant photo blue and green apple contrasts are visible on the upper, as well as the outsole and inside the Max Air unit that runs along the bottom of the shoe.This time around, the shoe boasts shades of grey, as well as white along the upper.  unfortunately they are exclusive to JD Sports.

Nike Air Max Light – Black / Royal Blue

The upper is built from a combination of nubuck and mesh, mixing black and grey hues, and sporting blue contrasts. They are UK exclusives, but you can find them though German based Asphalt Gold.
Our coverage of classic Nike Air Max models continues with this brand new colorway in the Nike Air Max Light. Originally released back in 1989, the shoe has seen its fair share of designs, and the version shown here is definitely worth paying attention to.

Air Jordan 1 Phat GS – Mineral Blue / Purple

The Air Jordan 1 has been seen in several men’s designs as of late, but JB decided to show girls some love, creating this new colorway. Purple contrasts are visible on the classic wings logo,  outsole and shoe laces, while a classic white design graces the midsole. The shoe features a mid-cut design, and boasts a mineral blue design constructed from both leather and nylon. Look for them now at your local sneaker shops. 

Nike Air 180 – Black/Dark Grey-Alarming-Chlorine Blue

The Nike Air 180 has been rather sparse as of late. Aside from a handful of colorways including a White/Tech Grey version it’s not releasing that frequently at all and that leaves fans of the runner a bit miffed when it comes to trying to get their next fix.
We recently spotted this Black/Dark Grey colorway of the sneaker recently that looks great. The upper is done in Black with both a perforated grain leather and a synthetic material for its build. Chlorine Blue and Alarming Red also make the cut but they are both used so sparingly that if you don’t look twice you may miss them. These are available now.

In the meantime, we were able to scrounge up some new looks of the kamikaze to hold you over until then.

There are only two solid colorways and those are Navy and Green. The other two color models include Purple / Yellow, Grey / Red and Off White / Green.
