For this week’s Hot Release Roundup, we look at a mix of Air Jordans with some Yeezy Slides and New Balance releases. From the Air Jordan 4 Golf ‘Military Blue’ to the more strikingly unique Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 990V3 ‘Outside Clothes’ collaboration, we highlight the hot releases for the first week of September.
ADIDAS YEEZY SLIDES ‘GLOW GREEN’
AIR JORDAN 4 GOLF ‘MILITARY BLUE’
Lovers of golf can dive into this hot release, the Air Jordan 4 Golf. It comes in a military blue color blocking with subtle changes that make it an excellent shoe, both in looks and utility. With a white color blocking on the top appearing on the upper and laces, a mesh covers the tongue and the midfoot, covering a blue bottom. Branding appears in the form of a blue Jumpman logo on top of the tongue, while blue also appears in the form of overlays on the top and bottom of the lace structure and on the heel tab. When it comes to the sole, the midsole appears in white and gray color and is covered by a translucent gray outsole that has protrusions to help you find better traction on the golf course.
NIKE AIR FORCE 1 LOW ‘TURTLE’
Leather and suede put together have always been a winning recipe for Nike, and the Nike Air Force 1 Low Turtle joins that in the form of tumbled leather with suede overlays. Dark green tumbled leather appears on the upper, stretching all the way from the toe cap to the heel counter and appearing on all overlays and tongues as well. Gray laces sit on top of the tongue to compliment the color. To pair up with the green, khaki overlays are present on the heel tab of the shoe as well as on the Nike Swooshes on both sides. The large midsole comes in an off-white color and is covered by an outsole in a slightly lighter shade of green. A turtle emblem also appears on the lateral side at the back to go with the name of the sneaker.
NIKE AIR FORCE 1 LOW ‘MILKY STORK’
The Nike Air Force 1 Low Milky Stork comes with tumbled white leather present all over the upper, while the tongue and the laces come in black for a stark contrast. This pattern is followed on the sole for an off-white midsole and a black outsole. Branding appears in the form of Nike text on the white heel tab overlay, Air branding on the midsole, and a logo on top of the tongue on a stitched label in red. Nike Swooshes appear in a slightly less bright shade of white leather on both sides of the shoe. To keep up with the name of the shoe, a flying stork appears on the back of the shoe in black on the lateral side. The inner sock lining of the shoe also matches the contrasting black of the tongue and the outsole.
JOE FRESHGOODS X NEW BALANCE 990V3 ‘OUTSIDE CLOTHES’
New Balance has always experimented quite liberally with sneakers that are meant to look intentionally unclean, and this collaboration between Joe Freshgoods and New Balance comes in the 990v3 silhouette with a washed-out brown, beige, and blue color blocking with a few splashes of green. With a streamlined look to the shoe, the upper comes in a washed-out brown color, with beige overlays appearing around the toe box and the back of the shoe. The New Balance N logo on the sides of the sneakers comes in a light blue color, while the toe box and parts of the heel collar feature a deeper shade of blue. An even darker shade of blue appears on parts of the midsole, which comes in brown color and is covered by a brown outsole.
AIR JORDAN 5 RETRO ‘OREO’ 2021
With a retro Air Jordan 5 silhouette featuring a large midsole and a classic black and white color blocking, the Oreo 2021 features splashes of silver and translucent blue. The upper of the shoe is completely black, with the toe box, laces, and back all matching the theme, while overlays all over the shoe also come in black and give it a structured look. A perforated off-white area appears on the midfoot of the shoe. The top of the meshed white tongue on the high-top sneaker comes in black, with a shiny silver Jumpman logo embossed on it. The midsole of the shoe comes in white color with a black tooth pattern on it, while the outsole comes in black color with translucent blue detailing on it as well.
