Is It Possible That The Union LA x Nike Cortez Will Be Released Soon?

Union, a Los Angeles-based streetwear store known for previous high-profile Nike and Jordan Brand collaborations, is at it again, this time working on one of Nike's most famous forms. The Union LA x Nike Cortez has just been leaked, and fans are already gushing about the revised and better look of the classic sneaker.

The Cortez was effectively the first-ever contemporary running sneaker, designed by Nike co-founder and Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman and introduced in 1972. It has now become a cultural symbol, having been worn by a plethora of celebrities throughout the years, most notably Forrest Gump in the classic film of the same name.

The sneakers appear to be made of a variety of materials, including suede, nubuck, and canvas, and come in a wheat-like colorway. The design features red and blue details throughout, including Nike's famous Swoosh on both sides and Union's recognizable insignia stitched on the heels. Dual-branded tongues and insoles fill off the style, while a tonal speckled sole completes the look.

It's unknown whether or when they will be released, given we've only seen leaked photographs so yet, but stay tuned right here.

It Doesn't Get Any Sweeter Than This For The Nike Dunk High "Chocolate"

Image
Since its comeback in the shoe business, the Nike Dunk has had a plethora of colorways. Sneakerheads all over the world have enjoyed a variety of colorways with themed features over the last two years, some in commemorative designs and others that are just plain simple and lovely. And while we're on the subject of sweets, the Nike Dunk High "Chocolate" just dropped, and a closer look at the shoe reveals that it can't be any sweeter than it already is! The iteration has a high-top profile, which gives the heels and ankles more support. Unlike its "Light Chocolate Sail" counterpart from last year, which had milky hues, this premium leather rendition has darker brown tones. The shoelaces, Nike Swoosh emblems on the lateral and medial sides, and the full-length midsole underfoot, all of which are in a pure white gradient, are the only pieces that add a flash of contrast to this delicious configuration. The Nike Dunk High "Chocolate" is an absolute must...

This Nike Waffle One Is Inspired By The Air Max 1 "Curry"

Image
The Waffle One is without a doubt one of Nike's most innovative new designs, bridging the gap between vintage and current style. The shoe's second appearance will feature a color scheme inspired by the popular Air Max 1 "Curry." The colorway bears a lot of parallels to the aforementioned, albeit it isn't quite uncanny in its likeness. To begin with, the color combination of "Cider" and "Twine" closely matches the food-inspired hue; they're even balanced out in a similar way, with white and its creamier offshoots adorning the Swoosh and sole adjacent. Furthermore, there is a hint of blue on the upper, though it is much more subdued here. This Curry-inspired Nike Waffle One gets an official look right here. Within the next few months, sizes should be available on Nike.com and at select stores. Nike Waffle One "Curry" Release Date: 2022 Color: Cider/Twine-Lemon Drop-Light Bone-Game Royal-Pollen Mens: $120 Style Code: DO2380-200

Image
Following the highly anticipated debut of Justin Saunders' BAPE Sta, he now appears to be preparing to unveil the JJJJound x New Balance 990v3 "Green." New Balance, a Boston-based footwear brand, and Saunders' creative imprint have been working together for a few years, with a couple of their 99X collaborations fetching high resale prices on the secondary market. Mr Saunders is no stranger to the NB 990 silhouette; the JJJJound 990V3 "Grey" and 990V4 "Navy" colorways were both released earlier. The 990V3 "Green" is identical to its siblings, with the same premium suede and mesh construction that has become synonymous with New Balance's renowned 99X bloodline. The color scheme is largely khaki green, with black accents highlighting the profile "N" insignia and the inner lining providing contrasting flairs. The cream laces and ENCAP midsole tooling underfoot give the iconic footwear piece a vintage vibe, while traditional NB U...
