The final iteration of the BSMNT sees the collective focus on the city of London. Taking inspiration from the cities ever evolving nature and it’s restless creative power, the Air Max 90 ‘London’ has been finished off in an array of grey tones depicting the architectural diversity within the city. Finished off with a clear midsole, the defining feature is the Velcro edged swoosh with a choice of four detachable swooshes — Yellow 3M, Dark Grey Corduroy, White Patent or Pearlescent.
The upper features an all over suede material in Olive with University Red accents on the heel and lace toggle as well as Jumpman on the tongue. A black midsole for contrast allows the glow-in-the-dark outsole to shine. One of the standout elements of the shoe is the button enclosed stack pocket on the ankle collar which has been his style since the Air Jordan 1 release.
Following on from their extremely successful 2017 Nike collaboration with the mixed material Dunk, The Basement and Nike are working together again paying homage to the Glasgow community.
This Nike Air Max 90 model comes in a ‘Deep grey’ watertight upper and in certain lighting gives a 2-tone effect along the outer side trim of the shoe which has an almost ripstop nylon look to it. The collaboration also features an orange tongue taking inspiration from traffic cones. For those who aren’t aware of the reference of the ‘Safety orange’ tongue, it pays homage to a prank that’s pulled on the Duke of Wellington statue in Glasgow city Centre which for many years has had many locals put a safety cone on its head.
Featuring a heavy-gauge canvas dressed in a subtle blue suede overlays, the ‘Hospital blue’ is a welcome new addition to the 700 V2 family. Bringing subtle hints from other colour-ways, the ‘Hospital Blue’ has a blend of the ‘Static’ and ‘Inertia’ about it.
Kanye West and adidas Originals’ collaboration continues with the release of the adidas Originals YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 ‘Cloud White’.

Rewind to 1991 and you will see the first Nike Huarache being introduced. Known for its extreme look of neoprene blended with an exoskeletal upper. This combination allowed for a snug fit that gave an almost constant hug feel which became iconic with the Huarache.
Fast forward to 2019 and we have the Nike Adapt Huarache. Using the Adapt technology, this ‘constant hug’ effect has been cemented even more. By using the latest in FitAdapt technology, this allows for this intelligent platform and the user to evolve together and create a wider array of personal preferences that fits the user’s needs depending on the environment and situation.
Sat on top of the Adapt Huaraches upper is the Adapt lacing system. Ran by a motor inside the midsole, this is controlled by the app where your preferences can be set up and saved to your personal account. The Adapt Huarache arrives in two colourways which hark back to the original’s aquatic inspirations, whose original neoprene was derived from a water ski.
