Take Your Closer Look At The Air Jordan 1 High '85 "Georgetown"

When it comes to iconic colorways, the "Georgetown" is right up there. The classic color palette has adorned some of the Beaverton brand's finest designs, from the Air More Uptempo to the Dunk Low, and for 2022, it'll be taking on the most famous of them all with the Air Jordan 1 High '85 "Georgetown" - and we're now taking a closer look.

If you believe you've seen this Air Jordan 1 before, you're probably thinking about the original "Georgetown Hoyas" sample, which initially leaked in 1985. With the same color palette, it appears that Jordan Brand has also embraced the OG form.

The light grey foundation contrasts well against the dark blue panels that wrap around the toebox and heel of this all-leather shoe. Creamy colours make their way to the laces and tongue for a retro touch, and the ankle is proudly embossed with the AJ1's distinctive winged basketball emblem.

While we would have preferred an off-white Nike Air midsole for a more nostalgic aesthetic, we can't really complain. After all, we never imagined this sample would see the light of day.

The Nike Air Jordan 1 Hi '85 "College Navy" will be released in February 2022 and is expected to sell out quickly.

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

Bootleg Bapestas Are Back From Bape And Reebok

Image
Isn't there such a thing as too much of a good thing? The two are back in action with a new set of collaborative Reebok designs, picking up where last year's collaboration left off. They are two well-worn BAPE models, so there's not much new ground being broken here, but these are among of the cleanest colours the pair has done to date. BAPE and Reebok's latest low-top, like the previous Club C, has the iconic star on the medial side and "BAPESTA" branding on the heel, making it a good alternative to the chunkier OG original. It's a little amusing to see a shoe inspired by the AF1 given new life atop one of Reebok's court shapes, but it's a better appearance for the all-white design, shaping up to be a little cleaner than a traditional pair. A new Instapump Fury has arrived. It's no surprise that BAPE is bringing back the bulky runner, which has been a perennial best-seller in Japan. It's also no surprise that the sneaker comes in three dif...

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...
