For this week’s Hot Release Roundup, we look an eclectic collection of sneaker releases, from the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 ‘Light’ to something more sharp in design, the Quartersnacks x Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Little Debbie’s Zebra Cakes.’ We highlight the hot release roundup for August 16th week.
ADIDAS YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 ‘LIGHT’
Shop ADIDAS YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 ‘LIGHT‘ on Novelship
The sneaker has an upper out of a light yellow Primeknit material and comes in a slightly transparent design that makes the lower layers visible. White patterns are visible below the upper along with a grey color as well. The laces on the sneaker are white as well, which matches the color of the sock lining and the high heel collar, while the pullout tab present on the back of the shoe comes in a light yellow. A large yellow stripe runs from this pull-out tab at the back of the shoe all the way to the front.
NIKE DUNK HIGH 1985 ‘ACID WASH RED’
Shop NIKE DUNK HIGH 1985 ‘ACID WASH RED‘ on Novelship
The Dunk High 1985 ‘Acid Wash Red’ is not your typical high-top silhouette sneaker. The upper of the sneaker comes in a light brown color, appearing on the perforated toe box, midfoot, and the high top heel, while red and black acid washed patterns appear around the toe box, on both sides of the lace structure, and on the ankle overlays. Nike Swooshes adorn the sides of the shoe in a deep red color. The same color also appears on the laces of the shoe, which sit on top of a light brown tongue. For contrast, the midsole of the sneaker comes in a light yellow color that stands apart from the shoe.
ALEALI MAY X AIR JORDAN 14 RETRO LOW SP ‘FORTUNE’ (WMNS)
Shop ALEALI MAY X AIR JORDAN 14 RETRO LOW SP ‘FORTUNE’ (WMNS) on Novelship
When it comes to designing women exclusive sneakers, Nike has got it down. They come at it hard with this collaboration between Aleali May and Air Jordan 14 silhouette. The futuristic sneaker comes in a green, black, and light brown color blocking, with the toe box and most of the upper appearing in a light brown. The upper of the shoe has an outer layer that starts just behind the toe box and stretches to the back, coming in a perforated brown pattern. On the lateral side of the shoe, you can see a shield-shaped Jumpman logo embossed right above the heel.
QUARTERSNACKS X NIKE SB DUNK LOW ‘LITTLE DEBBIE’S ZEBRA CAKES’
Shop QUARTERSNACKS X NIKE SB DUNK LOW ‘LITTLE DEBBIE’S ZEBRA CAKES‘ on Novelship
As you have probably guessed from the name, this collaboration between Quartersnacks and Nike comes in a black and white color blocking with Zebra patterns all along the upper. The toe box, tongue, and midfoot of the shoe feature a black and white Zebra pattern, while black appears on the overlays around the toe box, on both sides of the lace structure, and on the ankle overlay that meets at the back of the shoe. The Nike Swooshes sit on both sides of the shoe in black as well, and the look of the shoe is completed by the matching colors of the white midsole and black outsole. Branding also appears on the lateral side of the shoe above the heel in the form of QS25 for Quartersnacks.
BAD BUNNY X ADIDAS FORUM BUCKLE LOW ‘TRIPLE BLACK’
Shop BAD BUNNY X ADIDAS FORUM BUCKLE LOW ‘TRIPLE BLACK‘ on Novelship
If you’re a fan of the artist Bad Bunny, or even if you just like shoes with triple black color blockings, this collaboration between Bad Bunny and Adidas comes to you in the form of the Forum Buckle Low Triple Black. Extensive use of leather, suede, and nylon has been made in the creation of the shoe, and the low-top silhouette sits pretty with a black buckle on the side. While the upper comes in black leather on the toe box, black suede overlays sit around the toe box and before the lace structure. The iconic Three Stripes logo is visible on the side, all done beautifully in black to ensure a subtle change in color and tint.
UNDEFEATED X NIKE AIR FORCE 1 LOW ‘5 ON IT’
Shop UNDEFEATED X NIKE AIR FORCE 1 LOW ‘5 ON IT’ on Novelship
The collaboration between Undefeated and Nike is aptly named “5 On It” because of the 5 different materials used to make it. With leather, suede, and snakeskin included in the shoe, it is a beautifully designed sneaker that makes every head turn. An off-white upper includes the toe box and midfoot, while grey suede sits around the toe box, on both sides of the lace structure, and on the ankle overlays. The other splashes of color are not so subtle, as the Nike Swooshes on both sides come in blue snakeskin, while a bright orange label sits on top of the tongue. The back of the shoe features a deep red snakeskin overlay that has the words Nike Air embossed in white on top.
