Following last year’s retro ‘BRED’ colourway release, Jordan Brand set to release another December Retro 11 drop, the Air Jordan 11 Retro “Gamma Blue”.

With Jordan XI releases of years passed always featuring a white midsole, this 2013 version of the iconic model is sure to stand out from the majority of Jordan’s 2013 releases. Such is the custom; a nickname for this shoe refers to a highlighting feature of the silhouette, this time the Jumpman’s electric blue colourway. A slightly deeper aqua blue follows through across the outsole, with the shoes upper dominated by a mix of black patent leather and ballistic mesh.

The Air Jordan XI “Gamma Blue” is now SOLD OUT.

Seemingly the colour of choice for Jordan brand this December and following last weeks Jordan XI of the same description, this week sees the release of the Air Jordan 12 Retro ‘Gamma Blue’.

A wider use of the Gamma blue hue (included on the Jumpman of the XI) is the shoe’s main focus, as the leather wrap dominates the inner and outer panels of the model’s medial section. With comparatives between the aforementioned Jordan 11 Retro easily made, the Jordan 12’s upper shares the same colour make up (black) as last week’s release, although a high quality nubuck [with tonal stitching] features. Tonal laces and eyelets as well as a stitched red Jumpman, also feature.

The Air Jordan 12 Retro “Gamma Blue” is available now GS sizes ONLY ranging from UK3 – UK5.5 (including half sizes), priced at £100.

Kick starting their relationship, Converse come together with West coast board riders Stussy, to release this eccentric yet clean, croc skin Chuck Taylor All Star Hi collection.

The drop includes a pack of three colourways of the footwear brand’s staple Chuck Taylor Hi model in; black, purple and red colourways. Premium crocodile tumbled leather comprises the upper, with a woven No.4 Stussy tongue label boasting the shoe’s other collaborator. A customary bright white outsole, with custom insoles and white laces also feature.

The Stussy x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi Croc-Skin Collection is available now IN-STORE ONLY. Sizes range from UK5.5 – UK12 (including Half Sizes), priced at £90.

Building reputation and proving their expertise when it comes to collaborative projects, adidas & Sneaker Freaker come together to launch this Torsion Integral S. Designed by the Australian publication’s founder, Woody (Simon Wood), the silhouette sees a dip of a mint colourway, referring back to Sneaker Freaker’s unofficial colour palette.  The sturdy model, finished with micro suede and mesh is one that’s often been overshadowed by more popular models such as the EQT and ZX series, but this Sneaker Freaker colourway aims to change this. A wintery white splattered black midsole draws the eye as the luscious mint and cool grey covering the iconic three stripes and base panel, respectively.

The Sneaker Freaker x adidas Consortium Torsion Integral S ‘Up Over Down Under’ Pack is available now both in-store and through mai order. Sizes range from UK7.5 – UK12 (including half sizes), priced at £120.

Nike have progressed at some pace when it comes to technologies to improve football boots in terms of on pitch performance, although style is timeless and the iconic Tiempo ’94 proves it.

The first time one boot silhouette has been exhibited by two opposition team members on one pitch during a competitive game, the Tiempo has, from day one, been a game changer. This staple model represents all that is Nike football.

Available in both a low black and mid ‘Liquid Silver’ version, the premium silhouette features a black leather / suede upper with tonal embroidery throughout. The TZ mid version features an ‘Ag’ upon the shoe’s tongue, as a nod to the element symbol for Silver. ‘47’ couples this as the atomic number from the periodic table, whilst the shoes entire upper looks as if it’s been dipped in liquified Silver. Ridding the traditional Nike Air logo, the shoe’s heel sees a stripped back ‘Nike’ imprint feature, whilst the perforated leather inner lining and grey tonal laces finish things off. A fold-over tongue integrates the shoe’s history within both versions of this re-issue, as the underside includes debossed Nike branding. A perforated leather sockliner, gum sole and Phylon touch unit are also highlights of the silouette.

The Nike Tiempo ’94 OG Black & Tiempo Mid ’94 TZ ‘Liquid Silver’ is available in-store and online now with sizes ranging from UK6 – UK10 (Not including half sizes), priced at £150.The Nike Tiempo 94 QS Black size range from UK6 – UK11 (including half sizes), priced at £100.
