In the chronicle of Planet Of The Sanquon, a signal shimmered across the horizon—a glint of “Silver/Black” light cutting through the fog of recycled trends and throwback tropes. It was the ABZORB 2000, reemerging not as a relic, but as prophecy. New Balance had been watching. Listening. Waiting. And now, with calculated precision, they offer this silhouette as both a remembrance and a rebellion.

The “Silver/Black” iteration is more than a colorway—it’s a language. Metallics whisper futurism. Black anchors it in the now. Together, they speak with confidence, calm, and clarity. The full-length fusion of ABZORB and ABZORB SBS pods doesn’t just cushion—it commands. Each step is a broadcast: modernity has roots, and legacy can flex.


The upper tells its own quiet story. Lightweight mesh. Printed overlays. Clean-cut symmetry meets utility. Reflective accents beam like city lights off wet asphalt—purposeful, unmissable. The ‘N’ branding sits subtle, letting the silhouette breathe, letting the sole do the talking. Coming fall 2025. 

This isn’t just footwear. It’s signalwear. Designed not to chase hype, but to outlive it.

LeBron James continues to honor Deion Sanders' iconic sneaker legacy, following up on his hybrid takes of the LeBron 21 and the Air DT Max '96 from last year. Even though the LeBron 22 is set to drop in 2024, rumors have been swirling about several mash-ups of the LeBron 21 coming in 2025. Among them? A "Prime '93" edition that pays tribute to the classic Air Diamond Turf 93, which we've already seen teased.

Now, we get our first official look at this hybrid, and it’s everything we hoped for. The sneaker brings together the best of both worlds: a bold “Fire Red” upper with a large midfoot strap, and updated paneling that gives a clear nod to Coach Prime’s retro turf model. This fusion is a game-changer for sneakerheads and LeBron fans alike.

Mark your calendars: the “Prime ‘93” LeBron 21 mash-up is expected to drop on May 9 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers, with a starting price of $180 USD. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates as we get closer to release day.

After years lurking in the archives, the adidas Intimidation Low is finally stepping back onto the scene. Originally debuting in 1999, this slept-on classic helped shape the future of adidas design—most notably influencing the Yeezy 500 with its bold, sculpted sole. Fresh off collaborations with Packer and an upcoming release with HAL Studios, adidas is now bringing the silhouette back to the general market in a fresh new colorway.

Staying true to adidas’ “Feet You Wear” philosophy—built to enhance natural movement and stability—the latest Intimidation Low arrives in a clean “Ivory/Beige” colorway. The sneaker balances boldness with refinement, featuring a ribbed TPU cage and outer detailing in soft off-white and beige hues. A black inner lining adds contrast, giving the design a sense of depth without overpowering its understated elegance.

A true throwback built for today—are you ready to bring the Intimidation back? Link

The world of streetwear loves a good link-up, and this one? It just makes sense. BAPE and Crocs have finally crossed paths, merging their distinct DNA into one unmistakable creation. The result? Exactly what you’d expect—Crocs’ iconic Classic Clog drenched in BAPE’s legendary motifs.

Straight from the vaults of the revered Japanese powerhouse, the BAPE x Crocs collection takes the brand’s signature “ABC Camo” and spreads it across the uppers of the Classic Clog in Green, Blue, and Pink colorways. But the flex doesn’t stop at the camo. Each pair comes loaded with custom BAPE-themed Jibbitz charms, featuring the APE HEAD, BABY MILO, SHARK, TIGER, and the ever-iconic “APE SHALL NEVER KILL APE” slogan. Co-branded footbeds and BAPE’s trademark “R” detail at the strap fastener lock in the collab’s authenticity.


For those looking to lace—uh, slide—into these, the BAPE x Crocs Classic Clog collection drops first via BAPE on March 8, with a wider release through Crocs on March 12. Keep your eyes peeled for pricing and other updates as the launch creeps closer.

Would you rock these in the jungle? Or is this drip too wild?

Salehe Bembury’s got the sneaker world on a leash, and the latest 991v2 collab proves he knows exactly how to keep the streets hungry. Dubbed “Colors Be The Palette,” this ain’t just a name—it’s a mission statement. The shoe is a full-on art project, where every shade plays a part in a bigger vision, like a Basquiat piece that just so happens to be wearable.

New Balance might be best known for its dad-approved grays, but Bembury treats that like a mere suggestion. Instead, the 991v2 gets dipped in a sunset of burnt oranges, deep purples, forest greens, and earthy browns, a colorway that looks like it was plucked straight out of a national park at golden hour. It’s rugged but refined, like trail running in a cashmere sweatsuit.



The material game is as premium as ever—hairy suede panels meet smooth leather overlays, balanced by a mesh underlay that keeps things breathable whether you’re in the streets or the mountains. And let’s not forget the FuelCell midsole, because just like Bembury’s touch on New Balance, comfort is non-negotiable.

His signature thumbprint logo sits proudly on the tongue, a reminder that you’re stepping into a vision, not just a sneaker. Every Salehe drop tells a story, and this one feels like an ode to nature, creativity, and the idea that sneakers don’t have to fit in—they should stand out.

If history’s any indication, these won’t sit. You either catch them at retail, or you’re paying resale rent money. Either way, the flex is eternal.

Engineered with a sculpted grip that keeps you grounded, no matter where you plant your feet.

adidas TERREX is back at it again, flipping the script on what hiking footwear can be with the all-new Skychaser GORE-TEX. This isn’t just another trail shoe—it’s a statement. A meeting point between innovation and legacy, blending the best of adidas’ outdoor heritage with next-level tech for those who take their adventures seriously.

Designed with insights straight from mountain guides in the Alps, the Skychaser is built to handle whatever Mother Nature throws your way. It channels the DNA of classic adidas hiking models but pushes things forward with trail-tested features that cater to the modern explorer.



Let’s talk specs: the LIGHTSTRIKE midsole keeps things cushy for all-day comfort, while the GORE-TEX upper locks out the elements so your feet stay dry no matter the forecast. A molded toe cap means stray rocks and roots won’t ruin your flow, and the stability plate gives you that locked-in feel on uneven terrain. But the real game-changer? The reformulated Continental™ outsole with 5mm lugs for serious grip in all conditions—because slipping on a trail is not the move.

And of course, adidas isn’t skimping on style. The Skychaser GORE-TEX drops in multiple colorways, including the earthy “Olive Strata/Silent Green” and the bold “Quiet Crimson/Preloved Fig.” As Carla Murphy, SVP/Global GM of adidas TERREX, puts it: this silhouette isn’t just about performance—it’s about merging old-school aesthetics with new-school functionality, inspiring a new generation of outdoor enthusiasts to step outside and embrace the journey in style.


So whether you're scaling peaks or just hitting your local trails, the Skychaser GORE-TEX is built to keep up. Lace up and get moving—the wild is waiting.

 Note: I thought I posted this at the start of the season. What the fuck. 


Falcons Bijan Robinson x Rookie Logo Design


It's the season. It's the season that you, like me start to believe in the lies that these teams are telling. They are about to sell you London, France, and the IG models underpants. From the looks of the first game of the Falcons, I need to get a return cause it's shit spots in these underwear. 

I couldn't help but buy this shirt. I'm a sucka for shitty drawing. It gets the people talking I tell you that much. 






Might as well toss on the red pants when you repping the birds. Dawgs too for that matter. 



Air Jordan 1 Retro High

We trying to wear some J's this year. With the hype for the new one's dying. I can get when I want, when I want. 


GA700UC-5A Watch


One thing I love about the G-Shock is that it can take some beating. Maybe once in high school threw one off the roof to see what happened. Nothing happened, it didn't break. 


What are you wearing today? Let me know on  Twitter / Instagram

  If you like this one, be sure to check out another "Dress Like Javaris".

A first look at the upcoming Union LA x Nike Field General has surfaced, revealing a design that bears little resemblance to the 1982 football cleat that inspired it. Leaked photos from @kicksdong show a revamped design with a lifestyle-ready aesthetic, reminiscent of a vintage turf trainer that’s both minimalist and richly detailed.


The only unchanged elements from the original Field General — initially designed for NFL quarterbacks like Archie Manning and Dan Fouts — are the exposed mesh toeboxes, quarter panels, tongues, and the slim heel collar. Beyond that, the new design is a creative reinterpretation, akin to an abstract painter reimagining a classic portrait. The upper features an earthy brown and tan color scheme accented with pink, layered paneling, heel tabs, an external heel counter, Union LA tags, co-branded midsoles, and a unique top eyelet secured by a textile strip extending from the heel. The outsole sports a waffle-style traction pattern reminiscent of '80s turf shoes, though it's a significant departure from the original's spikes.

As of now, the official release date has not been announced. However, this colorway of the Union LA x Nike Field General is expected to launch 6/27, peak the video https://store.unionlosangeles.com/pages/union-u

Shoe Palace has partnered with New Balance for a fiery release that captures the essence of volcanoes through the iconic New Balance 2002R silhouette. This unique “Two Pack” collaboration is inspired by the destructive yet formative nature of volcanic eruptions while embodying lessons of adaptability, ingenuity, and sustainability within its designs.


The first pair, representing air and the ethereal aspects of an eruption, features a blue colorway. It utilizes a spaced-out open mesh, enhancing the theme of air and openness. This second silhouette draws inspiration from the solidification of lava into land and boasts fitting earthy brown hues with a tighter mesh structure that symbolizes stability and foundation.




Both pairs are constructed from luxurious materials including smooth cow suede and hairy suedes, ensuring comfort and durability. Reflective “N” logos add a touch of flair on both the medial and lateral sides, sitting atop Angora white midsoles that provide a clean contrast. Completing the thematic design, each pair includes extra laces and custom insoles that visually echo their volcanic inspirations.


This release will be available exclusively at Shoe Palace stores and on their website starting April 26, priced at $150 USD.

In collaboration with Division Street, Nike whipped up an Air Max 1 “University of Oregon” PE to further encapsulate the spirit of Air Max Day. A portion of the proceeds will be used to support the student-athletes of the University of Oregon.


Shelves both on and offline are currently flooded with new and old Air Max colorways and variations, but who’s to complain, when the iconic silhouette just does it. This current rendition gives off a slightly similar makeup to, the Atmos x Nike Air Max 1 “Safari,” originally released in 2002, which opted for a Mandarin duck palette.


Following the hues of a Mallard Drake, the upper shoe is constructed with earthy tones like that of duck feathers shaped in various materials from suede to perforated leather and canvas. To give it a more playful feel, animal patterns are stitched above the toe box, around the lace eyelets and capping off the heel. The main and mini Swooshes are done up in sleek Navy complementing the iridescent olive green details. Completing the design are the words “Once a duck, always a duck” embroidered on the mid-heel. A pair comes with three laces in off-white, green, and yellow neatly packaged in a neon green box.


The Nike Air Max 1 “University of Oregon” PE is exclusively available on GOAT.
