Alexis Sablone’s Nike SB x Converse Twin Pack Limited To 500 Total

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Converse and Nike have teamed up with Converse CONS team rider, former Olympian, and multi-disciplinary creator Alexis Sablone to design a unique, limited-edition skateboarding footwear pack. This collaboration includes the Converse AS-1 Pro and the Nike SB Dunk Low, both of which showcase Sablone’s artistic vision and deep connection to skate culture.

Sablone, who has previously designed skateboarding federation kits for the United States and Japan, took inspiration for this collection from her Federation Agnostic offering. The design language of the AS-1 Pro and Dunk Low is informed by the concept of a chameleon, a species known for its ability to change its skin in nearly infinite ways. This metaphor speaks to the ever-evolving nature of skateboarding and the individuality that lies at the heart of the sport. Skateboarding is a global culture that transcends boundaries of geography, class, and gender, with participants of all shapes, colors, sizes, and abilities.

The chameleon’s vibrant, unpredictable color patterns are brought to life on both footwear styles through earth-toned, tear-away uppers. The AS-1 Pro and the Dunk Low are also unified by bumpy, reptilian textures, color-changing, wear-away leather, and chameleon camo liners. Additionally, the Federation Agnostic crest is applied to the back of the tongue, tying the designs back to Sablone’s broader creative vision.

The AS-1 Pro, which is Sablone’s signature shoe co-created with Converse last year, features a chameleon-inspired, wear-away leather upper atop a white base. The Star Chevron and heel underlay come in a Fuchsia Glow tone that complements the upper’s base layer.

Similarly, the Nike SB Dunk Low features scaly, earth-toned patterns on a white upper, with a Swoosh designed to mimic a chameleon’s curving tongue. Sablone’s initials, “A S,” are embossed on the heel, leaving her personal mark on the design.

Alexis Sablone Nike SB Converse Pack Release Date

This exclusive collection will be released in a limited-edition twin pack box containing both silhouettes on August 22, 2024, available via select skate shops and Nike SNKRS. Following this initial release, both styles will be sold individually starting August 29th through SNKRS, Converse.com, and select skate shops.

This collaboration is a testament to Sablone’s creative genius and her ability to blend art, culture, and skateboarding into a singular, compelling narrative.

Cadillac has partnered with renowned Los Angeles designer Dominic Ciambrone, also known as “The Shoe Surgeon“, and his team to craft an exclusive collection of custom sneakers. Each unique style in this collection draws inspiration from a specific vehicle in Cadillac’s cutting-edge EV portfolio, including the Cadillac LYRIQ, CELESTIQ, OPTIQ, and ESCALADE IQ.

To ensure the sneakers authentically represent the essence of each vehicle, the SURGEON team collaborated closely with Cadillac designers and artisans. The creative process took place in person at General Motors’ Design Center in Warren, Michigan, where the team meticulously studied the distinctive design elements of the vehicles.

Additionally, the sneakers feature color palettes inspired by the interior and exterior paint finishes of the respective vehicles, blending automotive design with fashion in a seamless fusion.

In conjunction with Cadillac’s role as the Official Vehicle of the US Open tennis tournament, the brand also teamed up with SURGEON to create custom sneakers celebrating the personal journey of professional tennis player and Cadillac brand ambassador, Francis Tiafoe. These special sneakers, inspired by Tiafoe’s story, will be auctioned on CharityBuzz.com, with proceeds supporting the USTA Foundation’s Frances Tiafoe Fund. This fund is dedicated to providing free or low-cost tennis programming and academic services to over 130,000 student-athletes annually.

The Shoe Surgeon x Cadillac x Air Jordan 1 Low for Francis Tiafoe

The collaboration includes an ultra-exclusive pair of custom Air Jordan 1 Lows, designed specifically for Francis Tiafoe, also known as Big Foe. This pair, made exclusively for Tiafoe, will not be available for public purchase, making it a true one-of-a-kind collector’s item.

Better Union LA Release: Air Jordan 1 “Storm Blue” or Air Jordan 4 “Off Noir”

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Union LA x Air Jordan collaborations have produced some of the most coveted sneakers in recent memory. The standout releases, the Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Storm Blue” and the Union LA x Air Jordan 4 “Off Noir,” have sparked much debate among sneaker enthusiasts. Let’s dive into each to determine which release is better.

Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Storm Blue”

Released in November 2018, the “Storm Blue” colorway evokes the look of ‘your favorite pair of old shoes.’ The white midsole is pretreated to simulate a worn-in look, providing a vintage aesthetic that complements the white and blue leather upper. The most distinctive feature is the collar, borrowed from a red and black Air Jordan 1 colorway, attached with zigzag yellow stitching to give it a DIY vibe.

Design Elements:

Vintage Aesthetic: Pretreated midsole for a worn-in look.
DIY Vibe: Red and black collar with zigzag yellow stitching.
Material: Combination of white and blue leather.

The overall design of the “Storm Blue” nods to the brand’s heritage while adding a unique, handcrafted touch, making each pair feel special.

Union LA x Air Jordan 4 “Off Noir”

Released in August 2020, the “Off Noir” Air Jordan 4 is a follow-up to the successful Air Jordan 1 collaboration. This model features a black suede upper with mesh on the toe box and collar, providing both durability and breathability. The translucent wings on the quarter panel and the inside-out aesthetic of the Air Jordan tongue tag add a modern twist to the classic design. The yellowed midsole and visible Air in the heel enhance the retro look and comfort.

Design Elements:

Modern Twist: Translucent wings and inside-out tongue tag.
Material: Black suede upper with mesh.
Comfort: Yellowed midsole with visible Air cushioning.

The “Off Noir” combines classic and contemporary elements, making it a versatile sneaker that appeals to both old-school fans and new-age sneakerheads.

Comparison

When comparing the two releases, both have unique elements that cater to different tastes. The Air Jordan 1 “Storm Blue” focuses on a nostalgic, handcrafted aesthetic, making it perfect for those who appreciate a vintage look with a personal touch. On the other hand, the Air Jordan 4 “Off Noir” blends modern design features with classic elements, appealing to those who enjoy a more contemporary style with a nod to the past.

Which Was the Better Release?

Design: “Storm Blue” wins for its unique DIY vibe and vintage appeal.
Material: “Off Noir” takes the lead with its combination of suede and mesh, providing both style and functionality.
Comfort: Both models offer excellent comfort, but the Air cushioning in the “Off Noir” gives it a slight edge.

In conclusion, the better release ultimately depends on personal preference. If you lean towards a nostalgic, vintage look with a unique DIY feel, the Union LA x Jordan 1 High OG “Storm Blue” is your go-to. If you prefer a blend of modern and classic elements with a focus on comfort and durability, the Union LA x Jordan 4 “Off Noir” is the better choice. Both releases have their distinct charm and are worthy additions to any sneaker collection.

The ANTA Shock Wave 5 Pro “Agility” Kyrie Irving PE is not just a basketball shoe—it’s a heartfelt tribute to one of the game’s greatest legends, Kobe Bryant. Designed with Kyrie Irving’s mentor in mind, this sneaker captures the essence of Kobe’s legacy while delivering top-tier performance on the court.

The shoe’s design is packed with details that pay homage to Bryant’s storied career. Graphics that reference his number 24 and the five NBA championships he won with the Lakers are subtly integrated into the shoe, ensuring that Kobe’s influence is felt with every step.

Performance-wise, the ANTA Shock Wave 5 Pro “Agility” is built to keep you swift and agile on the court, just like the Mamba himself. The sneaker features a snake scale TPU overlay, a fitting tribute to Kobe’s “Black Mamba” persona. This TPU not only adds to the shoe’s aesthetic but also provides excellent lateral support, making sure you’re stable during quick cuts and explosive movements. The carbon plate embedded in the midsole further enhances agility, offering a responsive feel that propels you forward with each stride.

The ANTA Shock Wave 5 Pro “Agility” is now available on ANTA.com, priced at $165 USD. It’s available in men’s sizing and is a must-have for any fan of Kobe Bryant or Kyrie Irving, as well as those who demand high performance from their footwear.
