HERE'S A DETAILED LOOK AT THE AMBUSH X NIKE DUNK HIGH "COSMIC FUCHSIA"

  After dropping a run of Lakers and Nets-themed apparel alongside a “Black/White” Dunk High last month, Yoon Ahn and Nike (NYSE:NKE -1.30%) are set to push out another collaborative footwear project to start off 2021 on the right foot. On deck for the two imprints is the AMBUSH x Nike Dunk High “Cosmic Fuchsia” which has now been revealed through official imagery. Constructionally, this particular rendition is bereft of any changes from its predecessor as it still features leather base layers, elongated height, added AMBUSH-branded lower heel counters, and lipped out Swooshes that are symbolic of Japanese motorcycle exhaust pipes. The main difference here is the utilization of a monochromatic motif, as its titular hue floods the shoes entirely head-to-toe from an exterior standpoint. There’s a slight contrast in shadings between the overlays and the base, but this is only noticeable when viewing from an up-close perspective. On the inside of the shoes, a burst of more loud accents is present across the footbeds which are outfitted with a bright neon backdrop and bold “AMBUSH” lettering printed on top. If you’re interested in picking these up, note it will be releasing on January 14 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers for $180 USD.

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.

THE AIR JORDAN 1 KO RETRO "CHICAGO" IS RETURNING IN 2021

The Jumpman team has a boatload of footwear plans in place for next year, one of them being the bring-back of the Air Jordan 1 KO Retro “Chicago”. By the time it launches, approximately seven years would have gone by since its previous retro revival as the Bulls-inspired colorway was last delivered to the market back in March 2014. Just by the looks of this 2021 pair which has recently emerged by way of official imagery, it appears that the constructions and palette are designed to resemble that of the original from 1986. Canvas constructions lead the way as they form a majority of its upper build and come styled in appropriate Chicago colors with crispy white toe boxes, tongues and quarter paneling neighbored by “University Red” forefoot overlays, ankle flaps and rubber soles. To complete the Bulls-influenced theme, solid black notes sprawl to the leather Swooshes and ankle panels, in addition to the shoe strings, interior liners and remixed “AJKO”-branded wings embellishments. Nike Sportswear logos land on the tongues and insoles in matching vibrant hue. A release date hasn’t been announced just yet, but you can likely see these dropping via Nike and select retailers in the coming months.

THE NIKE SB J-PACK COULD BE GETTING A “COURT PURPLE” ADDITION

Nike SB’s J-Pack is a capsule of Dunk Lows that feature some of Jordan Brand’s most iconic colorways. So far, we’ve seen the release of the “Chicago,” “Shadow,” “Royal,” and “Pine Green” colorways. Leaked images suggest that “Court Purple” is set to join the rest at some point in 2021. Official product shots of the sneaker have been leaked by @J23App, which suggests an official announcement and subsequent release can’t be too far off. The SB Dunk Low features the model’s characteristically fat tongue with Zoom Air cushioning and leather build on the upper. Take a look at the leaked images above and stay tuned for more as we get it.

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.

EVERYTHING DROPPING AT PALACE THIS WEEK

As we spiral towards the end of a turbulent year, Palace Skateboards delivers its final apparel collection of 2020 — this time including a colorful capsule alongside adidas Originals. Following recent collaborations with the likes of Arc’Teryx, Moschino and vodka label CÎROC, this final co-release of the year marks the end of a busy one for the London skate label. After teasing a reworked adidas Originals Firebird Tracksuit last month, the two brands have now revealed a three-piece capsule of vibrant co-branded iterations. Arriving in a striking blue, eye-catching yellow or an understated black, each track top dons matching pants. Boasting the adidas Originals logo on the right breast, besides monochromatic Palace branding on the right, each jacket is completed with full-zip fastening and archetypal three stripes down each side. A selection of Palace tri-ferg T-shirts accompany the collaboration, each featuring branding on the left breast with a larger tri-ferg on the rear. This latest collection is set to drop on December 26 and will be available via the Palace webstore.

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. Elsewhere in the automotive world, Toyota has offered a closer look at its 2021 GR Supra Sport Top.
