July 25, 2019 - The Nike Joyride NSW Optik is designed specifically for women, and is notable for its sleek lace-less upper and premium materials. The leather heel and collar melds with a molded skin on the upper for a Nike Air Max 270 Womens playful mix of traditional craft and modern detailing. Additional heel height gives the Joyride platform a unique stance. July 17, 2019 - The road to gold isn’t pretty. And every year, the competition gets tougher — athletes have to train more and fight harder than ever before. But the Nike Air Huarache Donne top of the podium is worth the calloused hands and trembling muscles.
The special-edition “Medal Strong” Metcon 5 honors this gritty journey. The hazy Nike Free Run 2.0 Donne black upper appears distressed, as though it has been broken in and sweated on. Pops of gold for men and rose gold for women at the heel represent how naturally-occurring metallic gold comes out of the ground: not yet polished, but still valuable.
The Nike Metcon 5 “Medal Strong” will appear on the competition floor in August. It releases July 22 for NikePlus members and globally July 25. July 16, 201enummervrij.nl9 - The Converse Chuck 70, built from the 1970 articulation the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star, has solidified a reputation as a designer favorite. For Los Angeles-based artist Joshua Vides and Chinatown Market’s Michael Cherman, the shoe is also an invitation for hands-on experiences.
Cherman’s vision for the shoe employs a light-sensitive, multi-tone asymmetrical canvas upper, which transforms when exposed to UV light. Vides allows for a more intentional transformation: His Chuck 70 incorporates interchangeable Velcro panels in custom Pantone colors.
Converse adds to this mix by offering a third Nike Air VaporMax Femme sneaker with its own evocative Nike Air Max 270 Femme release. The UNT1TL3D pack carries an exaggerated midsole and an upper features hand-drawn iterations of the phrase “NOT A CHUCK” — an ode to DIY decoration and the notion that a Chuck is defined only by the wearer. All three shoes launch during ComplexCon Nike Free Run 2.0 Damen Chicago, July 20 and 21, at the Converse booth. Broader releases for each of the Chuck 70s follow: July 26 for the Converse x UNT1TL3D; August Nike Air Max 720 Dames 2 for the Converse x Chinatown Market; August 16 for the Converse x Joshua Vides. July 15, 2019 - Highlighted by new versions of two classic basketball silhouettes, Converse’s fall footwear channels ’90s hoops vibes in familiar and unexpected ways. Several elements of the decade's sportswear history is reflected — including an early penchant for tracksuits to a later embrace of bold geometries — and Adidas Superstar Womens re-crafted. Originally released in 1995, the Converse Voltage made an immediate statement on collegiate and NBA courts through its dynamic “bolt-chevron” upper pattern. That it was worn by some of the era's most potent guards led to its mystic and made the shoe a cult favorite (lock-up with school uniform styles helped too).
For 2019, the Adidas Ultra Boost Donne Voltage is brought back from the archives for Nike Air Max 720 Femme the first time, its spirit channeled through the new, women's-only VLTG. This vision of the shoe reinterprets the ’95 silhouette with an exaggerated heel arch, lightweight SmartFoam cushioning and street-ready herringbone outsole.
