0

Overnight, Nike has finally revealed the most anicapted sneaker release fo 2019, the Jordan Retro 11 “Bred”.

First worn on the NBA courts April 26, 1996, the Air Jordan XI Black/True Red-White signaled playoff seriousness. The colorway, the third for the silhouette, took a title and started a second three-peat. Fittingly, it will release again this year, and for the first time since 2012, to mark the 10th anniversary of Jordan Brand’s annual holiday celebration of the Jordan XI.

The shoe ranks high among Jordan grails. It has, like all the greats, transcended basketball. And as with all truly classic sneakers, it is coveted by athletes of all stripes.

The Jordan Retro 11 “Bred” will release here in Australia on Saturday 14th Decemeber in a full family size run. This is definately one sneaker that all Jordan fans will want to get their hands on. Dont be surprised if these release EVERYWHERE across all major retailers as we are hearing there is plenty to go around.

Sonic The Hedgehog Official Trailer

0

Now the reason why we say official trailer as we dont consider the first trailer that Paramount Pictures dropped a few months ago an actual trailer.

Paramount Pictures copped alot of backlash after the first trailer in the way Sonic actually looked. So for once the studio listened to the fans and went back to the drawing board to make Sonic look like Soinc.

And here is how we got to today. That’s right folks, Paramount Pictures has dropped the new trailer for the upcoming Sonic The Hedgehog movie which is due to hit cinemas here in Australia early 2020 (no actual confirmed release date yet

Tell us what you think? Were the changes worth it and has made it look better?

The Kickz Stand’s Top Weekly Hit List #17

0

“I had a hard time coping this pair. Always ended up with the inevitable ‘L.’ (Nothing new these days) But when there’s a will, there’s always a way.

I immediately unDS’d and took a shot of the kicks a week after I got em. What attracted me the most about the pair is the simple mixture of light and dark blue. The ‘buttery’ leather of course added to its overall beauty and appeal.
I reckon the blue toned steel bench made the obsidian/UNC colorway popped more and enhanced the composition of the shot.

If you are into your J1s, it’s definitely worth adding to your collection.”

30th Anniversary of the Gel-Lyte III

0

30 years ago the GEL-LYTE™ III model broke the mould of traditional sneaker design, heralding individualism and rebelling against constrictive norms. Today ASICS SportStyle celebrates that tradition, creating a new campaign for the iconic silhouette.

The GEL-LYTE™ III model has a history of going against tradition and subverting stereotypes, with this new iteration being no different. In the new campaign we see school children, salary men and elderly citizens, all of whom are expected to wear plain and formal footwear, deviating from social norms and wearing bright and vibrant GEL-LYTE™ III model’s highlighting the sneakers and the stark contrast from the rest of their traditional uniform. The campaign is an overall celebration, engaging both loyal fans as well as introducing the model to a new generation.

The rebellious nature of the GEL-LYTE™ III model stems from the defiant approach of the original designer Shigeyuki Mitsui. Repeatedly told that his designs were too complex and aesthetically challenging, he set out to forge his own path and prove his peers wrong. Mitsui speaks on his unorthodox method within the design process “I confuse the production engineers, at first, they refuse my design method. Finally, they found it a great solution.” His efforts were realised when the distinctive new shape of the GEL-LYTE™ model took form and became a brand-defining silhouette – with its now famous split between the tongue and gel sole. The shoot is part of the Go Against All Odds campaign dedicated to Mitsui’s spirit of disregarding the status quo.

The GEL-LYTE III™ model will be available in four different styles; the GEL-LYTE III™ OG model Green/Yellow will launch first at selected outlets on the 15th of November 2019 with a worldwide release on the 6th of December 2019, the second OG colour in Orange/Black as well as the Black and Light Grey colourways all release worldwide on the 3rd of January 2020.

ASICS x CAPCOM “Mega Man” Collection

0

ASICS has teamed up with Japanese video game company, CAPCOM, to create products featuring their popular action game series “Mega Man”. The collection consists of a sneaker, apparel (3 x T-shirts and 1 Sweatshirt), and a bag.

ASICS x Mega Man Collection

The collaboration sneaker was designed based on the GEL-BND sneaker, a model that has evolved from a triathlon shoe. The GEL-BND sneaker was chosen for this collaboration because of its visual similarity to Mega Man’s feet in the game. The upper material was selected to reproduce the textures of 8- bit graphics from classic video games, while the detail of the shoelace holder was taken from Mega Man’s buster. The sneaker is packaged in a special shoebox inspired by the original art from the game cartridge.

Designs for the collection were created by using 8-bit pixel art taken from the original “Mega Man” game.

The apparel collection, was designed with the aim to express the fusion of sports and gaming. On one of the T-shirts, Mega Man is shown accelerating after getting ASICS shoes as a fictitious game item. The message “All bosses, no damage” (which means completing the game without any mistake) appears in another T-shirt in Japanese letter Katakana to put emphasis on the Japanese element of the collaboration, since both ASICS and Mega Man were born in Japan.

Collection will be released on the 1st of November at ASICS stores, ASICS Online Store, and selected retailers.
