Even before cooperating with the NBA, Menairshoes often launched the "Hardwood Classic" theme, using it to mark the release of some retro products. Today, the new LeBron 19 has this exact nickname, and its color may refer to the classics of the past. Although light is used, each color stands out: blue pops under transparent bubbles, and orange shines against an almost black background. The latter not only appeared in Flywire, but also various brands, linings, and cosmetic gradients that were only part of the side. Elsewhere, the aforementioned neutrals fill in the blanks, set a perfect base white grid print, TPU cover, and midsole.
After preparing for the products in 2021, Jordan Brand is using the time of 2022 to flesh out their "turning" concept and produce several products based entirely on past idols. Here, what we see is another one: Air Jordan 1 Fearless subverts the beloved "Chicago" plan. The signature "University Red" is only partially exchanged. In addition to its appearance on the counter, ankle flaps, and soles, this color is now also applied to the Swoosh and toes instead of the surrounding panels. Then, the white neutral color replaced the original position elsewhere, and the rest of the structure-such as shoelaces, Wings logo, collar, lining-chose the more familiar black treatment.
As the Nike Air Force 1 Low series is about to usher in its 40th anniversary, the silhouette of this shoe appears in several series. Is it the latest?: New Jordan "stand the test of time" capsule. The series also features Nike Blazer Mid, celebrating the longevity of various swooch brand sneakers. The newly unveiled couple broke away from the original color palette and chose simple off-white and green styles with retro details. The slightly yellowed soles and side contours and text messages on the sock pads are reminiscent of the past few decades, while the vibrant tone of the side logo pays homage to the style of Nike Air Force 1 in the late 1980s. The lace and silver hardware on the shoulder straps also indicate the special edition of this sneaker, which is a great considering how iconic Bruce Kilgore's design has become.
