New batch of New Balance 550s
Sneakerheads, get ready as the brand-new batch of the highly coveted New Balance 550 will be released on April 6. Each proposition is anchored by a crisp white base layer, with the exception of its “Turtledove” silhouette, which stands apart from the rest as the only clad tonal aesthetic, coated entirely in a soft cream composition.
A duo of tones encompasses the pink and grey accented pair before a trio of tones curtails the LA Rams-inspired counterpart while exploring opposing ends of the colour wheel with black/grey and bright red/blue models.
Whether you’re a die-hard New Balance fan or simply enjoy a classic sneaker with a modern twist, the New Balance 550s should not be missed.
Nike releases another ‘Panda’ Dunk
Nike is applying its popular black-and-white “Panda” colour scheme to a wide range of its sneaker models, including the Dunk Mid set to drop soon. The colorway, which has already been seen on the Dunk Low and Dunk High silhouettes, takes over the mid-cut kicks constructed in canvas instead of the usual premium leather material.
Keep your eyes peeled for Nike’s iconic Swoosh logo etched onto textured leather textures on the side panels, and white finish on the tongues and heels. This is one that you don’t want to miss.
G-SHOCK special collab on DA series
Introducing the latest collaboration between G-SHOCK and FUTUR, a French fashion brand, that combines fashion-forward design with G-SHOCK’s renowned toughness.
The collaboration features the iconic GA-2100 model with an octagonal bezel, updated with translucent components and a sleek, monochromatic look.
The watch also includes a gold indicator hand and the colours of the French flag as bold accents on the small dial at 9 o’clock. This special edition timepiece is a must-have for fashion and watch enthusiasts alike.
Stussy x Gangstarr: Iconic 50th anniversary
Famous streetwear brand Stüssy has hinted at a forthcoming collaboration with DJ Premier and Guru, Gang Starr, two of the greatest names in hip-hop. To date, they have released seven full-length LPs combining New York jazz and hip-hop. The Brooklyn-based group has been regarded as one of the genre’s best MC-and-producer duos.
The collection will include various t-shirts and pieces featuring some of the duo’s most iconic lyrics, including those from Take It Personal and Daily Operation, both of which were released in 1992.
