In collaboration with LA-based lifestyle shop Union LA, the Air Jordan 2 Union LA Future Is Now Pack arrives in two colorways: Grey Fog and Rattan. Both colorways feature a canvas upper with perforated suede overlays and mudguards. Matching tongues with yellowed woven taga and exposed foam edges offer a worn-in look to this futuristic design. From there, “UN|LA” and “HO2021” external tags provide a custom feel.

New Balance x Joe Freshgoods Conversations Amongst Us Pack

Joe Freshgoods and New Balance teamed up once again to deliver the New Balance x Joe Freshgoods Conversations Amongst Us Pack.

Utilizing New Balance 550 and 2002R silhouettes, the Conversations Amongst Us Pack draws inspiration from crucial dialogues that connect the Black community. The New Balance 550 features a simple cream canvas upper with hairy suede overlays that sit atop a yellowed sole. The second design in the pack, the 2002R, continues the neutral-toned theme but adds a touch more color, opting for hits of orange and yellow throughout its detailing.

The New Balance x Joe Freshgoods Conversations Amongst Us Pack releases on Friday, April 15th for $120 and $130 on the New Balance website and at select retailers.

Nike SB Dunk Low Polaroid

Nike SB and world-famous camera maker, Polaroid, teamed up for the Nike SB Dunk Low Polaroid.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Polaroid draws inspiration from the color spectrum found in Polaroid’s logo and the casing of its instant film. Atop a black Durabuck upper, a triple-layered Swoosh creates a rainbow effect by cleverly overlapping blue and red patent leather Swooshes with a yellow transparent Swoosh. At the heel, white patent leather nods to the composition of Polaroid’s instant film. From there, color spectrum embroidery on the toe and co-branded embroidery at the heel complete the design.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Polaroid releases on Tuesday, April 12th for $120 on the SNKRS app and in select skate shops.

Air Jordan 7 SE Sapphire

Jordan Brand celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the Air Jordan 7 with the Air Jordan 7 SE Sapphire.

The Air Jordan 7 SE Sapphire features a Shimmer leather and Durabuck upper with semi-transparent mesh paneling that reveals its dazzling bright blue and pink interior. At the collar, a Jumpman logo and layered ankle padding commemorate the original Air Jordan 7 design. Lastly, a grey speckled midsole and muted translucent outsole add the finishing touches.

The Air Jordan 7 SE Sapphire releases on Saturday, April 16th for $210 on the SNKRS app and in select Jordan retailers.

Converse Aeon Active CX A-COLD-WALL Healing Jade

Converse and A-COLD-WALL teamed up to push the boundaries of conventional sneaker design with the limited edition Converse Aeon Active CX A-COLD-WALL Healing Jade.

The Converse Aeon Active CX A-COLD-WALL Healing Jade introduces a unique, perforated leather and suede stretch bootie construction and an exaggerated heel kick for a smooth entry. In the sole, an innovative combination of CX foam and Crater foam provides durability for daily wear. This is about as far from a pair of Chuck Taylors as you could get. Leave it to A-COLD-WALL to help even the most established brands push boundaries.

The Converse Aeon Active CX A-COLD-WALL Healing Jade releases on Tuesday, April 12th for $160 on the SNKRS app and in select stores.

Nike Air Trainer 1 Utility SP Light Smoke Grey

Nike explores utilitarian design with the Nike Air Trainer 1 Utility SP Light Smoke Grey.

Between its heavy-duty canvas straps, reflective 3M detailing, and reinforced ripstop paneling, it’s clear that the Nike Air Trainer 1 Utility SP Light Smoke Grey boasts a utilitarian aesthetic. Its neutral palette of Light Smoke Grey and light brown emphasize its construction, while also highlighting light green and yellow overlays. A pale yellow and purple Air sole tributes the original Air Trainer 1 design.

The Nike Air Trainer 1 Utility SP Light Smoke Grey releases on Thursday, April 14th for $150 on the SNKRS app and in select Nike retailers.
