GIVE YOUR SNEAKER ROTATION A JOLT WITH THE NIKE AIR FOAMPOSITE PRO "VOLT"

Nike‘s Air Foamposite line has never been for the faint of heart, and now the Air Foamposite Pro is going full maximalist with a new “Volt” colorway. Covered from front to rear in the hi-vis tone, the “Volt” is a masterfully monochromatic sneaker, made to delight expressive sneakerheads and boisterous Nike Sportswear lovers alike. Signature beetle-inspired synthetic shells and large midfoot Swooshes are done up entirely in a signature “Volt” shade, as are the pebbled leather eyestays and collar trim. Mesh tongues and throats largely continue down the same path, although they do feature touches of black detailing running up the lace keeper as well as on the tongue badge and pull tab. The heel’s pull tab is equipped with a Foamposite spellout and sits above an embroidered black Swoosh. Down below, a checkered black and volt pattern appears on the midfoot’s carbon fiber plate and semi-translucent volt outsoles round off the look. Expect the Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Volt” to release via the Nike webstore and retailers like Nice Kicks on February 12, priced at $230 USD.

JORDAN BRAND HONORS NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND WITH THIS TWO-TONED AIR JORDAN 1 LOW SE

There’s still some sorting out to do for NBA All-Star Weekend 2021 such as securing a date and a venue, but one thing that is for certain is that Jordan Brand has intentions to celebrate the hoops-filled weekend with a commemorative Air Jordan 1 Low SE. While presented with a darker-toned theme, the offering possesses interesting details found throughout its upper half. The primary hue here is a stark black as it colors in the base layer’s main components such as the underlays and overlays, the former seeing through to smooth leathers while the latter is more playful and arrives with glossy finishes. White trimming is also highlighted on these kicks through the exposed stitchings that border the Swooshes, the circular Jumpman embellishments on the tongues, as well as the rear end’s ball-and-wings logo embroidery. Another detail to point out includes the medial side’s Swooshes which have been decorated with tonal diagonal dotted patterns that run its length. To accompany this layer, the Jumpman design team welcomes in a clean white midsole and pairs it above an outsole that is swamped in all black. If you’re looking to cop, these will be releasing come January 31 for ¥849 (approx. $131 USD) via Nike China. A stateside drop has not been confirmed yet.
