Clints OASIS
Release Date: Out Now
Editor's Notes: A new crop of brands is breaking into the sneaker industry and Clints is one name to look out for.
The brand's latest model, the Oasis, draws inspiration from organic architecture and features elephant print overlays, suede paneling, and bubbles along the upper that resemble oasis puddles in the desert.
ASICS UB6-S GT-2160
Release Date: April 26
Editor's Notes: With just one look at ASICS’ new CURATORIAL Collection, it’s easy to tell (with a trained eye) that the DNA of the Kiko Kostadinov Studio is present.
The entire collection is rendered in juxtaposing hues and textures, with the updated GT-2160 detailed with carbon-colored mesh overlays and arctic blue paneling.
Nike ISPA Link Axis
Release Date: April 25
Editor's Notes: The evolution of Nike’s ISPA collection over the past 6 years has been a joy to witness as the brand is deadset on advancing footwear design. This updated take on its ISPA Link Axis features a polarizing Flyknit upper and interlocking components that use zero glue.
New Balance 1000
Release Date: April 24
Editor's Notes: Arriving fresh off the heels of New Balance's collaboration with Joe Freshgoods, this general release is one of the best from the brand in the past few months.
Nike Air Jordan 11 Low "Legend Pink"
Release Date: April 24
Editor's Notes: Bearing a vague resemblance to the snakeskin 11 low and hot pink samples that were released in the early 2000s, the new “Legend Pink” 11s are the latest colorway added to the Air Jordan family.
The updated model is adorned with its signature patent leather overlays and arrives with a new icy pink sole.
BOTTER X Reebok Energia Bo Kèts
Release Date: Out Now
Editor's Notes: Building off the duo’s drop last summer, BOTTER and Reebok are back with new iterations of the Energia Bo Kèt silhouette.
The retro football boot takes inspiration from Reebok’s archives and arrives in two new colorways with a foldover tongue, co-branded logos, and a thin strap around the sneaker to style to your liking.
