OFFICIAL LOOK AT THE KITH X NIKE AIR FORCE 1 LOW "PARIS"

Following the launch of its Miyashita Park flagship in Tokyo for Summer 2020, KITH is expected to expand upon its real estate portfolio and open up doors to a new space in Paris. And in a similar vein to the Japan opening, Ronnie Fieg and his camp are yet again partnering up with Nike (NYSE:NKE -1.13%) to release a collaborative Air Force 1 Low inspired by the “City of Light”. Three tones including white, navy and red are pronounced on this lifestyle-ready proposition, all of which are ripped directly from France’s flag. Swooshes, as well as the forefoot and back ends of the base are smoothened out in texture and lent a colorless aesthetic, while the quarter paneling brings back the streetwear retailer’s signature monogram pattern that was also spotted on the KITH x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Tokyo”. From there, French accents take over by evenly distributing the flag’s colors atop the remixed tongue logos and embroidered forefoot checks, in addition the heel’s KITH Air logo which is seen solely dyed in dark navy. Sliding down just below is the standard AF1 low midsole and outsole, both areas being identically wrapped with a sail hue to channel an aged aesthetic. No release date has been uncovered yet, but it’s likely that these will drop exclusively at the KITH Paris opening which could occur in the coming months. The MSRP will also likely be $140 USD.

DRAKE'S NEXT NIKE X NOCTA DROP LOOKS ... JUST LIKE THE FIRST ONE

Brand: NOCTA Season: FW 2021 Key Pieces: It's the tracksuit for me. With its high neckline and loose fit, the nylon tracksuit in black and yellow is reminiscent of 90s athletic fits. Release Date: January 19 Buy: Nike Editor's Notes: When Drake released his debut NOCTA collection with Nike it instantly sold out. So it's no surprise fans are feverishly waiting for his follow-up collection. And for those who caught an L with the last drop, good news: the second collection looks almost exactly the same. In our first look at the upcoming assortment, which is scheduled to arrive in February 2021, it's hard not to notice that the style cues from the first collection to the second are one and the same. The black and yellow color pairing, Drizzy's pointed stars symbol, and mysterious printed text “C.L.” and “A.W.R.” The similarities suggest this might be a Japan-exclusive extension of NOCTA's debut collection, however, neither Nike nor Drake have confirmed this. The apparel line is another concise collection comprising only five pieces: a black track jacket, matching pants, mock neck shirt, and two monochrome T-shirts. According to Nike Japan’s official release page, the new collection will launch on the Nike SNKRS app on January 19. Retail prices have been provided in Japanese Yen thus far. For now, it's unclear whether this is a Japan-exclusive drop.
