Following up on the Fire Red Cement 3 that dropped over All-Star Weekend 2020, Jordan Brand is releasing a new Jordan 3 colorway that’s the polar opposite with the Jordan 3 Royal Cement.
The Jordan 3 Royal Cement features all-blue tumbled leather uppers with grey perforated leather inserts by the laces and ankle. Traditional Jumpman insignias cover the heel tabs similar to most non-OG Jordan 3 releases. As its name alludes, the Royal Cement features Cement print overlays around the toe and heel that provide its signature appeal.
The Jordan 3 Royal Cement will be available to purchase on Saturday, October 10th for $190 on the SNKRS app and at select stockists.

Yeezy is slowly reaching outside their neutral color palette and we are all for it. The 700 V3 Arzrael was the first to display electrifying blue hits and now, the Yeezy QNTM Ophani is next in line to continue the aquatic vibes.
The Yeezy QNTM Ophani, also known as the Teal Blue, features a marbled olive Primeknit upper with teal blue and dark grey accents woven in. Unlike the performance model, this lifestyle design does not feature additional TPU caging on the upper for a more relaxed fit. A black reflective heel, dark grey toe guard, and translucent white sole midsole complete the design.
Keep an eye out for the Yeezy QNTM Ophani to release on Saturday, October 10th for $250 on Yeezy Supply and at select stockists.

2020 is the year Nike CO.JP made a comeback. We have been blessed with famed Japan-exclusive re-releases of Nike Dunk Lows, Air Jordan 1s, and now, for the first time since 2001, Nike is bringing back the original Nike Air Force 1 Low Wheat Mocha.
The Nike Air Force 1 Wheat Mocha is very similar to the Air Force 1 Flax in the sense that it has all of the attributes you would look for in a pair of classic wheat Timbs. Luxe wheat nubuck smothers the upper, while hits of dark brown on the tongue and a silky lining add contrast. A gum midsole, dark brown outsoles, and wheat laces add the finishing touches to this fall masterpiece.
While the Nike Air Force 1 Wheat was scheduled to release on Thursday, October 8th, it has been pushed and will now drop on Saturday, October 17th for $130 on the SNKRS app and at select stockists.

Vibrant orange hues appear throughout the laces and a split-tongue. A white and grey midsole, black outsole, and reflective detailing help this Gel-Lyte III take on everyday wear in style.
