Here come two new colorways of the almost one-piece Nike Air Royal Mid VT, and as long as there are more flavors of Laffy Taffy to emulate, we’ll continue to welcome them. Some of the other pairs of VTs and the Macaroon Pack of Air Royalty Mids looked like pastries or perhaps a cake, but these new joints go with a candylicious take on the Toronto Raptors palette. You can get either purple or red, plus the black, white and sea green pairs that just dropped at Nike Sportswear in New York.

Not only has adidas Originals given Kazuki quite a bit of design input, but they’re starting to borrow from his standouts. With the adidas Originals Rod Laver Vintage, they’re not an official collaboration, but like his kzkLOT Superstar ’80s, these joints are remade with a mesh upper. That means they’re lighter and more breathable than ever before, perfect for summer, all while keeping with the impeccable Rod Laver style. Expect them at your local adidas Originals retailer any day now.
Back in January, Puma gave the ladies a few new colorways for the First Round. We saw both the WMNS Puma First Round “Tartan” and the Puma Womens First Round Leopard. However, Puma has now come through with a little something for the fellas, the Puma First Round “Africa”.
Though both pairs are part of the Africa pack, the similarities between the two stop at the white midsole. The first pair uses an all white leather upper that is accented with grey and blue. While the blue takes over most of the Puma branded writing and piping, the grey sits on the actual logo and appears on a grey stripe on the ankle. The second pair heads in different direction with an all black suede upper accented with red and gold. Like the white version, one color takes over most of the Puma branded writing and piping, red, and the yellow sits on the actual logo and appears on a grey stripe on the ankle. They both should be hitting select Puma accounts in the near future.
The Star Wars x adidas Originals collaboration has been a nostalgic breath of fresh air. These collectibles are must-haves for sneakerheads and Star Wars geeks alike, and excitement surrounding these can be seen in the Taipei launch of this memorable collaboration. Here’s another pair to add to the must-cop list, the agile adidas Samba paired with the equally energetic X-Wing Starfighter. Both the Samba and Starfighter have historic significance in their respective fields; the adidas Samba being one of best-selling sports shoes of our time, and the X-Wing being responsible for taking down the Death Star. These, along with the adidas Stan Smith Millenium Falcon are available at Schuh-You.
