THE AIR JORDAN 35 SURFACES IN AN ICONIC COLORWAY

Highsnobiety aims to provide our readers with the latest updates in the sneaker world. However, we cannot verify the reliability of any unauthorized leaks or rumors unless this information is provided directly by the brands themselves. While continuing to expand the Air Jordan 35 catalog, Nike hopes to bring added attention to the silhouette by giving it an OG colorway. Expected to release early next year, we see the performance sneaker done up in the beloved "Fire Red" scheme. It's fitting that Nike apply the "Fire Red" colorway to the Air Jordan 35, as the sneaker draws heavily from the Air Jordan 5. Comparatively, the "Fire Red" Jordan 35 is undeniably similar to the original Jordan 5 colorway, except it doesn't feature any black detailing on the midsole. The standout design element is still in play, however, as the reflective silver tongue remains the focal point of the colorway. Images of the "Fire Red" Air Jordan 35 have surfaced as Nike re-released the "Fire Red" Air Jordan 5 earlier this year. It remains to be seen when the Jordan 35 iteration will arrive, although reports are suggesting a launch will take place in early 2021. As always, be sure to check back with us for confirmation.

THESE CANADA GOOSE PARKAS WILL MAKE WINTER QUAKE IN ITS BOOTS

Founded in 1957, it’s safe to say that Canada Goose has had enough time to perfect the down parka. Having been founded in Toronto, Canada, it’s no surprise that a lightweight, volume-based down parka was one of the first things that the brand saw as a necessity. While Canada Goose parkas may be suited for winter in a major city, the brand's Heritage Expedition Parka was designed for the specific needs of scientists at Antarctica’s McMurdo Station. Since its inception, Canada Goose has earned a reputation for its inimitable collection of parkas of all kinds, which have summited Everest, smashed records in the Yukon Quest dog race, outfitted casts and crews across Hollywood, and much more. With a cultural reach and history that stretches back nearly 70 years, Canada Goose jackets have led the way for performance and lifestyle outerwear. In recent months, we have seen the rise of massive, oversized outerwear to combat falling temperatures and as a tongue-in-cheek reaction to the quasi-dystopian times we’ve experienced in 2020. So, with winter staunchly setting in, we thought it only right to round up some of our favorite Canada Goose parkas below.

MANHART TURNS THE BMW X7 INTO A RUGGED OFF-ROADER

Just two weeks after unveiling its 550-horsepower gold-wrapped 2020 Toyota Supra, German automotive tuner MANHART is back at it again, this time tapping one of its own nation’s most popular SUVs: the BMW X7. Dubbed the X7 Dirt Edition, the car gets a matte black exterior makeover with fake rivets to resemble armored plating. Of course, the SUV also receives a range of performance and technological upgrades allowing drivers to take the German beast off-road. Power now comes from a 4.4-liter Biturbo V8 engine pushing out 650 horsepower — 120 horsepower more than its stock output. Torque is also increased from 750 Nm to 920 Nm, allowing better grip in harsh terrains. The air suspension has been given a 40mm lift, with the increased ground clearance then paired with 20-inch Black Rhino wheels with 305/50 R20 treaded mud-terrain tires. For those interested, you can learn more about MANHART’s BMW X7 Dirt Edition over on the workshop’s website.
