-
New Jordan have released two different editions of the Jordan 4 a couple of years ago that fans went crazy for.As Kaws has built up his brand to be a powerhouse of collectibles, paintings, collaborations, and clothing attire, his partnership with Jordan has to be one of the biggest.While the Cool Grey pair resells now for nearly $2,000 and the black sales for $1,000’s, it’s safe to say the hype is there.Although just a leak, it is possible that the sneaker releases as it has been talked about for over the past year.With the previous colorways releasing in 2017, fans have been waiting for more colors or new silhouettes from the two and it possibly could be that before the year ends, the two will be releasing a Green Air Jordan 4. Expect to see the same suede upper as its predecessors took on but this time it opts for a smooth green makeover that’s reminiscent of Macklemore’s Air Jordan 6.
Karabo Poppy x Nike By You Air Force 1 arrives with a different makeover that portrays her African culture in its core. An award winning illustrator and street artist, she has partnered with the NBA and now Nike has recognized her by allowing her to add her take to three different Nike Air Force 1 By You iterations.Poppy also drew design inspiration from barber and beauty salon posters that line the streets in South Africa.The various colorways are inspired by traditional African beaded bracelets with vibrant palettes that include red, orange, green and purple.Overall a very cool collaboration that showcases African Culture at its best which will be loved by many sneaker fans.
2019 Sneakers Release are seemingly growing more and more consistent with each month, as new color schemes are releasing every few weeks.Well, we’re in the thick of it, and there appears to be no end in sight, not that we’re complaining.It’s something that the sneaker community has begged for over the past few decades, a steady stream of high-quality, original and new Jordan 1 releases.While the look is drastically different from the mock-up, its still quite enticing. This week, we have our first look at a sample of the “Metallic Silver” color scheme that first surfaced online a few weeks ago.Featuring an all-black upper accented by red laces and Jordan Wings logos, the shoe shows no sign of metallic silver color, though the seemingly woven quarter panels could contain a few 3M threads mixed in. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until 2020 to find out.
