"We’ve seen a galaxy of Star Wars x adidas sneakers surface in the past few months, so it’s about time the main protagonist from The Rise of Skywalker got her own Three Stripes colourway. This Adidas Nmd Danmark Pris pays tribute to character Rey, dressed in a ‘Light Bone’ mesh upper with tan detailing on the heel and rear EVA insert overlay.Rey is pictured in a graphic on the co-branded tongue label, while the Star Wars lace dubrae adds another exclusive touch. Down below, a gradient blue-to-white BOOST midsole represents Rey’s internal struggles with the Force, reaffirmed by ‘Light. Darkness. A Balance.’ printed on the heel.

HUMAN MADE have turned their attention to the Adidas Superstar Tilbud Dame after their recent Stan Smith edit. HUMAN MADE’s Nigo has been a long-time adi collaborator, going all the way back to early 2000s BAPE efforts.Using simple, OG-esque colourways as the starting point, signature heart perforations and subtle logo bombardment complete the aesthetic. Of course, any HUMAN MADE colab demands premium materials, so upgraded leather and suede shows up throughout.

After applying 3M accents to the Reebok DMX Trail Shadow and later traveling to the UK for a “Three Bridges” capsule with Run Sko Dk, END is revving things back up on their collaborative front for the Spring season. Once again turning towards their friends over at the Three Stripes, the European retailer is introducing their brand new ZX 9000 “Kiln” offering. Influenced by the realm of ceramics and pottery making, these Torsion-infused kicks present their base layers with a blend between sky blue accents touching onto its synthetic throat, toe boxes, mid-foot paneling, and midsole molds, as well as grey overlays that deviate in shadings throughout. Breaking up these lighter tones arrives the terracotta clay pot browns affixed to the midsoles and co-branded tongues/insoles to echo its artistic motif.

This year marks the 15-year anniversary of the Nike Doernbecher Freestyle program and the Swoosh are celebrating by bringing back a few classic colourways.The first to return is Jacob Burris' Air Max 95, with its bold gradient red and blue colour scheme. Originally released in 2015, the AM95 was conceived when Jacob was only 14.The next shoe set for a comeback is Mackenzie Short's Nike Free Run Dame, which originally debuted back in 2011. Mackenzie's Free Run features floral patterns and inspiring hand-written motifs.

The Nike Metcon 2 Herre is a shoe for anyone who likes to have their muscles contorted and mashed together like playdough. That is to say – it's a cross-fit shoe. This 'Amp' colourway has vibrant streaks of blue and lime fused throughout its midsole, and an upper that takes those two tones and colour blocks them. Along with its attention grabbing colour scheme, Nike are advertising the Metcon 2 Amp with a slew of driving slogans. 'It knows your routine, from balance and burpees to laterals and lunges because it knows the recipe for better,' says Nike. 'It knows stability. It knows strength. It knows work. It knows that to fulfil its potential, it needs you.'"
