The Chinese New Year Is Commemorated By The New Balance XC-72 "Chinese New Year"

The year 2022 has only just begun, but we've already witnessed a slew of footwear releases that are certain to be sought after by many collectors. Many of the shoes in the collection are appropriate not only for spring and summer, but also for annual events such as the New Balance XC-72 "Chinese New Year," which honors China's traditional lunar calendar. We'll take a deeper look at the pair in this article, so keep reading to learn more about its unique qualities.

The Year of the Tiger is the Chinese zodiac sign of the Boston footwear behemoth. The retro-futuristic XC-72 silhouette features a color scheme that includes a striking red-and-black tiger stripe on the heel tabs and a single strip that runs from the toe area all the way down under the tough outsole to the end.

The equivalents are black, with white "N" emblems on the profile and mustard yellow rubberized heel slabs. The festive design is finished off with classic NB branding on the tongue and insoles.

The New Balance XC-72 "Chinese New Year" is set to release on January 28th at New Balance.

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...

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

The Nike SB Ishod Is Suffering From The Winter Blues

Image
Spring is almost here, and while many labels are gearing up for a slew of bright releases, Nike SB is going for a more subdued approach, especially when it comes to Ishod Wair's trademark shoe. The Nike SB Ishod maintains its normal simplicity in this design, with no more than three tones. The suede and mesh exterior is dressed in a rich, saturated blue, pushing the silhouette into Spring territory — not by much, given the colour isn't as brilliant as the brand's customary pastels, but into it nonetheless. The cool, silver finish of the logo and midsole, on the other hand, works well with the aforementioned, creating a harmonious hue. Check out the official photographs below for a peek at the latest Nike SB Ishod. Sizes are expected to be in skate stores and on Nike.com shortly, so stay tuned for further information. Nike SB Ishod Release Date: 2022 Color: N/A Mens: $100 Style Code: DC7232-401
