Let’s take a closer look at the latest ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 collaboration with JJJJOUND!
The JJJJOUND x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 release is part of a duo pack, and today we’re focusing on the White/Midnight colourway — the more limited and exclusive pair. Based on the iconic Y2K silhouette, the GEL-KAYANO 14 already holds cult status. This collab stays true to the original JJJJOUND release, but as always, it’s the details that make the difference.
Subtle navy accents hit the inner liner and ASICS tiger stripes. A splash of yellow pops on the high-abrasion rubber outsoles, adding contrast. As expected, you’ll find the JJJJOUND logo on the right heel and insoles.
The rest stays true to the classic GEL-KAYANO 14. Brushed metallic overlays wrap wide, breathable mesh uppers. Off-white laces and EVA midsoles sit atop exposed GEL pods in the forefoot and heel for all-day comfort. A translucent TRUSSTIC shank still delivers solid torsional support.
I’ve been rocking GEL-KAYANO 14s daily for over three years now. They’re light, breathable, flexible, and insanely wearable. No surprise, this pair sold out fast — and resale prices reflect the hype.
So, should you cop? If you’re a die-hard JJJJOUND fan with the budget, go for it. But honestly, GR GEL-KAYANO 14s perform just as well for a fraction of the price.
The JJJJOUND x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 fits true to size and comes with extra white laces.
Sydney’s very own Above The Clouds is back with another standout collaboration—this time with ASICS, delivering the all-new Above The Clouds x ASICSGEL-QUANTUM™ 360 I. This exclusive release is a bold move forward in sneaker design, combining high-performance tech with an unapologetically expressive style.
Built for those who move different, this fresh silhouette features a sculptural look, complete with an extended lace system, reinforced toe cap, and layered bonded mesh. It’s a mix of utility and creativity—something that looks just as good in motion as it does standing still.
The design leans into rawness and contrast. Think asymmetry, tension, and unexpected detail—all balanced by ASICS‘ renowned comfort and performance DNA. It’s not just a sneaker, it’s a statement: one that breaks away from the norm and isn’t afraid to challenge the traditional.
Whether you’re rocking it on the street or adding it to your rotation as a collector’s piece, the GEL-QUANTUM™ 360 I stands out with its unique take on modern sneaker culture.
The Above The Clouds x ASICSGEL-QUANTUM™ 360 I will be dropping in two colourways—Soft Yellow/Brisket Red and Soft Yellow/Black—this collab is set to make waves both locally and globally.

The Saucony Progrid Omni 9 has quietly become one of Saucony’s hottest GR lines right now. And this new White/Gold colorway keeps that momentum going. Let’s dive in.
Originally built for performance, the Omni 9 is now thriving in the lifestyle lane—thanks to its unmistakable Y2K aesthetic. Up top, you’ll find wide mesh uppers for breathability, paired with synthetic panels and a unique grey TPU cage on the lateral side. But the real showstopper? That gold detailing is reflective 3M.
Inside, an internal heel counter boosts lockdown. The Saucony river logo hits both sides. You’ll also spot more 3M accents on the pull tab and flat laces.
Underfoot, a mix of EVA foam, SRC (Super Rebound Compound) in the forefoot, and Progrid tech in the heel delivers a super smooth ride. A TPU shank adds torsional support, while segmented rubber soles grip the pavement with ease.
Build quality? Impressive. While it doesn’t use ultra-premium materials, the surprise use of reflective gold gives this pair a standout vibe. It runs true to size, but wide footers might want to go half up.
The Saucony Progrid Omni 9 will be retailing at $290 AUD, they’re available now at saucony.com.au.
These kicks are making serious waves in Australia right now. Yup—I went there, gang! Let’s dive in.
Today, we’re checking out the Mizuno Wave Rider 10 in the Black/Black Sand/Purple Haze colourway, part of the Millennium Pack. Straight away, you’ll notice those strong Y2K vibes—no surprise, since the original dropped back in 2007.
The upper features a breathable diamond-shaped mesh, layered with black and silver synthetic overlays. Lightweight and clean. On both sides, you’ll find a translucent cyber grey Runbird logo—a slick touch that pops.
Lockdown support? You’ve got it. Thanks to an internal heel counter and TPU C-strips running both medially and laterally. Out of the box, they come laced with black ovals edged in silver, adding extra contrast.
Branding hits? Check. A 3M Mizuno logo shines on the mesh tongue, while a purple, translucent heel tab adds even more flair.
But the star of the show? The Mizuno Wave Plate. Sandwiched in the EVA midsole, it doubles as a torsional bridge and shock-absorbing spring plate. Function meets futuristic form.
Underfoot, segmented podular rubber outsoles deliver grip and traction for every step.
The Mizuno Wave Rider 10 Millennium Pack feels like it stepped out of the Tokyo underground or London club scene. With its black, silver, and purple hits, it screams retro-futurism done right.
Fit-wise: they run true to size, but narrow. Wide footers? Consider half a size up.
Today we’re checking out the JJJJOUND x ASICS GEL-QUANTUM 360 1 AMP in White/Marshmallow. Originally released in 2015, this updated collab brings sleek changes with a clean, minimalist twist.
Did JJJJound just out-GR themselves? Let’s find out.
The upper swaps the OG engineered mesh for a breathable white mesh with wider pores. Synthetic leather reinforces the mudguard, side panels, and heel. Reflective lace loops hold oval white laces—with an extra set in off-white included.
Instead of the classic ASICS stripes, stitched side panels echo a DNA helix, boosting the shoe’s visible-tech vibe. Underfoot, the full-length GEL cushioning returns in cream, now paired with FF Blast+ foam for a softer, smoother ride. The Trusstic System adds torsional support and bounce.
JJJJound branding is subtle—on the heel and insole—just how you’d expect. While it may look like a plain white sneaker at first glance, the design speaks volumes. It’s tech-forward, ultra-comfy, and easy to style.
Fits true to size, runs narrow. The JJJJOUND x ASICS GEL-QUANTUM 360 1 AMP will be retailing at $330 AUD and likely dropping via raffle. Good luck!
Today we’re checking out the Way ofWade Shadow 6 V2 in the bold ‘Peach’colourway.
Though Way of Wade calls this a “budget” line, there’s nothing budget about the performance or style here.
The mix of peach, lavender, and yellow-green instantly brings to mind a certain starfish from Bikini Bottom—and the insole patterns seal the deal. Whether intentional or not, the colorway is fun, fresh, and standout.
Performance-wise, the Shadow 6 V2 delivers. The lightweight shell upper is breathable and moves naturally with every flex. Foot lockdown is on point thanks to the mesh bootie, beaded laces, internal heel counter, and lateral TPU “X” support—doubling as the Wade logo.
Underfoot, full-length BOOM cushioning offers impact protection with amazing court feel. The fork-shaped TPU plate adds spring and support during quick moves, while the TUFF RB outsole grips hard with a lavender and yellow-green combo.
Priced at $185 AUD, they fit true to size for most—wide footers should go half-size up. Now available at wayofwade.com.

To honour Shai’s MVP performance and OKC’s championship, Converse gifted him a one-of-one Trophy Gold SHAI 001. While this exclusive version won’t release, fans can expect the SHAI 001 to drop this Fall.
Off the court, Shai also made waves as Converse Basketball’s Creative Director, launching his first signature shoe, the Converse Trophy Gold SHAI 001, at NBA All-Star 2025. His bold style and personal storytelling turned the SHAI 001 into a symbol of creativity and fearless expression.
This season, Shai made history—becoming the first player to win the regular-season scoring title and sweep MVP honors across the season, West Finals, and NBA Finals.
“Shai embodies creativity, confidence, and fearlessness,” said Jared Carver, President & CEO of Converse.
“This is just the beginning of a defining era.”
From courtside dominance to design innovation, Shai is reshaping the future of basketball—and Converse is right there with him.
Mizuno is making serious moves this season with the arrival of the Wave Prophecy Morelia Neo — a fresh fusion of legacy football boots and futuristic running tech. This latest drop for FW25 brings together two of Mizuno’s most iconic silhouettes: the legendary Morelia boot from 1985 and the high-tech Wave Prophecy runner introduced in 2011.
The result? A street-ready sneaker that pays homage to Mizuno’s heritage while pushing bold new energy into the sneaker game.
Celebrating 40 years of the Morelia, Mizuno reimagines the classic K-leather boot into a lifestyle sneaker that still carries the soul of the pitch. The upper stays true to the original’s DNA with quilted panelling, sleek lines, and premium feel, while underneath, the Infinity Wave Plate system from the Prophecy series adds next-level comfort and attitude.
The sneaker made its debut during Paris Fashion Week, where Mizuno hosted an exclusive event and opened their first-ever showroom — a clear sign that the Wave Prophecy Morelia Neo is more than just a release, it’s a statement.
Backing the drop is a global campaign titled “The Game of Quebrada,” shot in São Paulo, Brazil — the spiritual home of street football. Creative leads Samir Bertoli and Fernanda Souza Corrêa spotlight the raw beauty of grassroots football, culture, and community, where the boot becomes more than a product — it’s a symbol of expression, resistance, and rhythm.
Whether you’re in it for the design, the history, or the streetwear flex, the Wave Prophecy Morelia Neo hits all angles.
