The classic color combination of black and red has always been a fan favorite on Air Jordans, and this iteration of the AJ11 comes in a low top with the upper made completely black, with hints of red. While the sole appears in contrasting white and translucent gum colors, then layered upper features see through mesh, patterned leather, and black laces on top of a black tongue. Overlays appear throughout the lower part of the shoe in black, while red appears on the sneaker on the heel collar as well as the rather large Jumpman logo on top of the tongue. Stepping away from the red and black of the upper, the midsole comes in a stark white color, while the outsole comes in a translucent light brown color. The see-through black mesh also features some splashes of red on the upper, giving the shoe a trendy look.

Every sneakerhead who is into basketball knows the thrill behind a shattered backboard during an especially intense play. The Air Jordan 5 Retro Shattered Backboard plays onto that with its striking aesthetic, giving you thrill in the form of a white, grey, and orange color blocking on a high-top silhouette. The upper comes in an off-white color on the sides with white appearing on the laces, toe box, and tongue. The tongue stretches up a long way above the shoe in a grey color. Black appears on the edge of the tongue as well as on the top eyelets, matching some parts of the sole. A splash of orange lends the shoe more character, appearing on the large Jumpman logo on top of the grey tongue as well as on the midsole.

Earthy designs and an unconventional design are the backbone of the Yeezy brand, and the Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 V2 lives up to this by coming in a black, grey, and brown color blocking with a silhouette made of clean lines and patterns. The upper comes in a grey color with black overlays, while the laces come in black and sit on top of a brown tongue. Brown also appears near the midsole towards the front and back of the shoe, seamlessly melting with the grey. The large outsole of the shoe comes in grey as well, merging with the upper in straight lines. Oval patterns sit on the midsole, giving the sneaker a modern look.
NIKE DUNK LOW ‘GREY FOG’

Simplicity does not get anymore brilliant, as the Nike Dunk Low Grey Fog is the subtle dream sneaker of every skater and baller. Coming in a dual tone, monochrome theme of white and grey, the Grey Fog name fits perfectly. On a white leather upper that appears on the perforated toe box, tongue, midfoot, and near the heel collar, overlays sit all over the shoe in grey. The overlays appear around the toe box, around the lace structure, on the ankles, and on the heel tab. The color of the Nike Swooshes on both sides of the shoe and the laces also match the overlays, while branding appears on top of the tongue on a stitched grey label and on the heel tab overlay in the form of white Nike text.

If classic silhouettes in a multicolor blocking interest you, the Air Jordan 1 High OG Prototype will certainly catch your eye. The high top sneaker comes in the popular AJ1 silhouette, with a white leather upper appearing on the perforated toe box and the midfoot. This is where the simplicity of the sneaker ends and colors start showing up. The overlays around the toe box and the laces come in an off white color, while black laces sit on top of a black tongue as a stark contrast. Black also appears on the Nike Swooshes on both sides of the sneaker as well as the heel counter overlay. Towards the back, you can see grey overlays around the Swoosh, while the heel collar features a deep blue color. A lighter shade of blue appears on the ankle overlays that also feature a black Air Jordan logo embossed on them. A white midsole is covered by a black outsole, matching the simple parts of the upper.
