New Balance 875


New Balance debuted their 875 model in the Freedom Trail pack. They now have a second color-up for the trail boot unless some attendee of the Freedom Trail Launch Party just spilled merlot all over their 875s. The boot is smothered in premium mahogany leather and it sits on a rugged black sole. The sole contrast on the upper resides in the matte metal eyelets.

As usual, New Balance presents a product that is materially sound. Let us know how you feel about the 875 silhouette, this make-up, and if you want to see more 875 colorways.

Nike Terminator High Premium Rival Pack Ueno vs. Harajuku




The East vs. West Rivalry Packs from Nike aren’t being kept stateside, as Japan’s Ueno and Harajuku areas are each being given a Terminator High Premiums in this pack of their own.

Both areas are known as centers of fashion and popular culture, so it’s fitting they each have their own shoe. Both use all black color-ups with minimal accents, including the green trim on the Harajuku pair, which adds some detail to the monochromatic look. For the Ueno pair, a technicolor-esque print is used for the heel panel and liner. Notice that each pair uses a different material make-up, with nylon and pebbled textile for the Ueno and mixed leathers on the Harajuku pair.

Nike Air Griffey Max 1 Grey/Teal





The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 holds a nostalgic value to a lot of sneakerheads and baseball fans. There was a time when Ken Griffey, Jr. was on pace to be the greatest player ever. A series of injuries would limit his potential, but he nonetheless remains a legend, as do his signature shoes. Now that he’s back with the Seattle Mariners, it’s only appropriate that we see another colorway done in the team’s colors.

Grey is used for the majority, mixing leather throughout the upper with nubuck on the mudguard and toe. Teal is also used on all the Swooshes and the lace loops. A white midsole and black outsole complete the colorway. No word on when these will arrive stateside, but they are currently available at kinstor.

Days after our run-down of the best Bred Jordans, Nike gives us another classic sneaker in the same classic colorway. These Blazers keep things simple, using the proven combination.

Black suede makes up the entire upper here, while another matte finish material helps the black Swoosh pop off the same colored background. The lower mudguard, which wraps around the entire bottom of the uppers, is also black. The first you noticed about these was definitely the sport red vulcanized sole, which matches the liner.
