Air Jordan V Dark Army Colorway

After several looks into this upcoming Air Jordan V colorway, we finally get a better view into detailed images of the highly talked about sneakers. Slated for a June release, the kicks continue Jordan Brand’s use of the iconic Air Jordan V model in a slew of different concepts/colorways. This latest interpretation will feature a white patent leather upper with the previously seen Dark Army motif, contrast stitching, and almost pre-yellowed translucent soles.

Lakai Eric Koston Hi

Even though he shocked us all by leaving Lakai and joining an unnamed shoe company, Lakai releases the Lakai Eric Koston Hi, which was set to drop in three colors as part of the Fall/Winter line up. Unfortunately with Eric moving on these kicks won’t see the light of day. With fresh colorways and a timeless skate sneaker revamped with a little extra ankle height, these could have definitely been a dope skate shoe.

Vans Chukka Low Purple

Vans seems to have new colorways of near every silhouette almost daily. I’m definitely not complaining though, because more often than not the designs are fresh and reasonably priced. Take for example this purple Vans Chukka Low.

Designed with Vans skate team and inspired by classics like the Authentic and Chukka Boot, the Vans Chukka Low is set to drop in new colorways for summer including this limited edition purple, in premium suede and canvas.
