It’s been 10 years since we last saw the ‘Flint’ 13’s on the shelves and it was a bit of a disappointment. But it looks like Jordan brand has wound back the clock to 2005 and given us the retro we want!
The classic features its signature grey and white pattern topped off with the navy found across the upper, tongue and inline. Similar to the 2005 release, the pair features the 3M detailing that was nowhere to be found on the 2010 retro.
Check them out below and let us know what you think Jordan heads! Will you cop these? These are set to hit the shelves around mid year!

We all know the rappers love to live large. Back in the late 90s/early 2000s when MTV Cribs was a hit, we would always get a tour inside some high profile athlete, musican or celebrity mansion in the USA. People would just be amazed with how they live and what they have.
Drake is no different. Architectural Digest has recently published an article on the Canadian born Rappers manor house in his hometown of Toronto. Measuring 50,000 square feet with amenities such as a full size regulation NBA basketball court crowned by a pyramidal skylight, we can all see that Drake definitely loves to live large.
An oldie but a goodie. These Gel Kayno 5 360’s will get you spinning. Pun intended. All funniness aside these gems ain’t no joke. Asics have mashed up 2 of their own different technologies in the GEL – Kayano 5 and the GEL – Quantum 360. Both already formidable comfort lines but together just makes sense.
Innovation isn’t the only thing Asics have integrated together, they’ve combined different types of materials to complete the upper. Such as Suede, mesh and leather. It is also strapped with features such as subtle multicolour panels that are also of 3M material.
But most importantly it comes down to the sole. The unit feels stable but secure with lots of support. Made with special technology to prevent your feet from pronating in the wrong direction.
And to top it all of its got the Dad Sneaker vibes all day long to keep it stylish. Although already released, these are definitely sleeping on some people. Check it out at your nearest Asics seller.
There hasn’t been a lot of good news in the sneaker world as of late, especially when it pertains to Jordan Brand release dates. This is because the Coronavirus has led to numerous delays in shipping and sneaker production. Some of the most anticipated shoes of the year have been pushed back by a couple of weeks and in some cases, even months. Well, this one comes as a surprise for all Off-White fans, with another Jordan 5 on the way later this year
For now, it is being reported that this will drop during the holiday season of 2020 which means either late November or early December. Pricing will be confirmed later this year as well as a detailed look. Here is a sneak peak for now! Let us know what you think.
Our first look at the DualSense PlayStation wireless controller from the latest announcement from SONY.
The vision and goal for the new controller is to interact and captivate more of your senses as you play and indulge yourself in the virtual worlds of the latest PS5 games.
The features of DualSense, along with PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech, will deliver a new feeling of immersion to players including Haptic Touch, touchpad, adaptive triggers, new share button, built-in mic to chat without a headset and USB-C charging just to name a few.
More and more details are emerging as the PS5 is due to launch later this year. All the hype around the release and what accessories are due and launch titles only time will tell. Keeping you in the loop @TheKickzStand
A lot of sneaker brands have turned their sights to combating the virus. Instead of sneakers they’re making personal protection equipment. Nike the innovative organisation it is, have jumped on the trend and have developed a new Face Shield to help the front liners of the battle for the coronavirus.
components such as Sneaker collar padding, apparel and TPU from Nike Air sneaker soles have all been repurposed to become elements of the face shield.
Health Care workers at OHSU (Oregan Health & Science University) were the instant testers for the new hardware to see how applicable they are to be used in the proper environment
The aim of the project was to provide highly functional that was easy to manufacture equipment and made the most impact.
Though they’re meant for health workers, it wouldn’t be a surprise if people starting wearing the Nike Protective equipment to flex on their socials.
The Sacai LDV waffle is of course on a lot of sneakerhead’s list of “must-cop” pairs, and my best friend was the one to let me know about how many raffles were going on for the nylon version. Of course, I decided “why not roll the dice?” and I entered about 3 or 4 raffles including one from Supply Store and that’s where I copped my win. I hadn’t won a raffle in quite a while and was very happy when I received an email saying my name had been drawn for the white pair (which was my favourite of the two nylon versions).
The Laces
After I got the confirmation email from Supply Store saying my pair was on the way, I went over to YouTube to see what I could expect. After checking out a lot of early in-hand reviews of the sneaker, I knew the stock ribbon and thin ropes were not for me. I love sneakers that have a pop or accent of colour, and I knew with a neutral base like the nylon has, a lace swap was essential. I was inspired by the lace swap on the cream Ultra Boosts that was really popular a few years back as well as the Diadora N9000 “Copitos” and the Travis Scott AJ1 Highs which, in my opinion, look the best with the pink lace swap.
I dug around in my collection of spare laces and found the pink laces from LaceSpace sitting in the bag, and it was the perfect shade that I needed.

Looks like Netflix is ramping up their movie releases while the majority of the world is on lockdown or working from home due to Covid-19. And this new one from Netflix looks like an absolute banger!
Extraction stars Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, a mecenary on his mission to rescue the kidnapped son of an imprisoned international crime lord. The synopsis reads: “In an underworld of weapons dealers and traffickers, a young boy becomes the pawn in a war between notorious drug lords. Trapped by kidnappers inside one of the world’s most impenetrable cities, his rescue beckons the unparalleled skill of a mercenary named Tyler Rake, but Rake is a broken man with nothing to lose, harbouring a death wish that makes an already deadly mission near impossible.”
Hemsworth is teaming up once again with Joe & Anthony Russo (Avengers: Infinity War & Avengers: Endgame) who wrote the screenplay and are serving as producers on this one, where as Sam Hargrave steps into the directors chair for the first time for a major movie. Fun fact, Hargrave served as Chris Evans’ stunt double as Captain America in the MCU.
Extraction hits Netflix on April 24th 2020. Let us know what you think of the trailer
Mizuno Japan is back with a new mita sneakers Mizuno “MTXIX” Collaboration. This silhouette was first released in 1995 as the third series of the Mondo line, which represented as a performance running sneaker for the Mizuno brand.
Fast forward to 2020, Mizuno Japan and mita sneakers collaborate once again with Japan’s leading baseball player, Masahiro Tanaka. Tanaka is also a pitcher for the New York Yankees.
“MTXIX” refers to Masahiro Tanaka’s “M” and “T” initials, which is Tanaka’s number 19.
Masahiro Tanaka (New York Yankees) and Shigeyuki Kunii (mita sneakers) with Mizuno Wave Rider 1 ‘MTXIX’
The “MTXIX” sneaker features black uppers which are made up of a series of mesh, leather and rubber materials. This offers a comfortable form-fitting build while enhancing support and durability. The sneakers has a soft neoprene tongue, complemented by tonal laces and black leather eyelet panels. Mizuno branding is placed at the lateral sides of the forefoot and breathable mesh fabrics at the toebox.
The insole has the official Mizuno and mita sneakers ‘MS’ logo and below the logos is the sneaker’s nickname “MTXIX” printed in the same colours as the ‘Runbird’ feature below. The insole was specially designed by Shigeyuki Kunii.
An awesome feature that Mizuno has added to this sneaker is the velcro-lined side stripes that allow the wearer to alternate between black, purple, yellow, red and pink colored Mizuno ‘Runbird’ logos.
Final touch on the heel is a embroidered image of Masahiro Tanaka on the right and “MTXIX” on the left.
Release date will be on the 25th of April. Sizes available will be from 23cm (US5) to 30cm (US12). Priced at ¥21,000 (excluding tax) and will be available only online at mita sneakers and Mizuno Japan.
