3 New Colourways of the YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 Drop on Feb 22

adidas and Kanye West are set to release three new colourways of the YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 on February 22, 2020.

The three colourways are “Flax”, “Earth” and “Tail Light”, all of which will be released in specific regions across the world.

The “Flax” colourway, for instance, will be released in Asia Pacific and Africa, while the popular “Tail Light” edition will be reserved for Europe and “Earth” for the Americas.

Focusing on the Asia release, the “Flax” takes after its namesake with a faded wheat upper and yellow tones within the translucent areas for the shoe.

Overall, the shoe makes for a very clean and stylish pair, although it has been fairly overshadowed by the hype surrounding the European release of the “Tail Light”, which has an obvious nod to the highly-popular “Beluga” colourway from 2016.

Maison Chateau Rouge x Air Jordan 1 Mid “Fearless” Drops in SG on Feb 18

Jordan Brand’s collaboration with Maison Château Rouge on the Air Jordan 1 Mid is making its way to our shores on February 18, after its initial release late last year.

The Parisian lifestyle brand has been making waves in the scene, particularly thanks to its young designer, Youssouf Fofana.

Fofana has been using his platform to showcase the dynamism and richness of a contemporary African district in Paris, and this is especially the case on the Air Jordan 1 piece.

The pair stays true to Air Jordan 1 Mids before it, with intricate debossed patterns across the upper.

The combination of Cinnamon red, baby blue and off-white vanilla keeps the aesthetics busy yet calm.

The shoe will hit Nike.com in Singapore on Feb 18 at 10am.

Reebok Relaunches Its Retro INTERVAL Sneaker Silhouette, Out From Oct 15

Reebok Classic is set to relaunch a sneaker silhouette from 1996 with an updated incarnation for today’s market.

“The ambitious spirit that led to the design of this shoe has never been stronger than how it is in today’s upcoming generations,” Chad added.

“When we started looking for a supremely bold shoe that captured the wants and needs of today’s young person, we very quickly knew that it had to be INTERVAL,” explains Reebok Asia Pacific VP/Brand Director Wittman Chad.

Retailing at S$109, INTERVAL will be available in Singapore from 15 October 2019 onwards. 

It will be available at Reebok Orchard Central, Reebok Fit Hub stores and selected Royal Sporting House Stores – ION Orchard, Tanglin, JEM and Causeway Point.

Reebok x adidas Instapump Fury Boost Drops Oct 25

adidas and Reebok are joining forces once again to fuse the best of both brands in the shape of the Instapump Fury Boost.

Following the team-up that saw the Reebok Sole Fury Boost come to fruition, the two sportswear giants are taking one of Reebok’s most iconic silhouettes and updating it with one of, if not, the most popular soles in the business.

Although it has been nearly 15 years since adidas acquired Reebok, it has taken them a long while before we’ve seen a collaboration at this level and it’s certainly a welcomed one for sneaker fans.

The Instapump Fury Boost™ will be featured across three packs that capture the heritage of both the Fury and Boost™ concepts. These sneaker packs will launch throughout the remainder of Fall/Winter 2019. 

According to Reebok Singapore, two of the three packs will make its way to our shores later this year.

The first pack to drop in Singapore will be the two-piece “OG Meets OG” collection which pays tribute to the original colourways of the Instapump Fury (Citron/Red) and the UltraBOOST (Black/Purple). This will arrive on October 25, 2019.

Following that, the “Black & White” pack will arrive in Singapore on November 11. This is also a two-piece collection, both featuring BOOST midsoles and gum outsoles.

Unfortunately, the “Prototype” pack will not be making its way to Singapore.

Three Glow-In-The-Dark YEEZY BOOST 350 V2s to Drop Later This Winter

Three new colourways of the YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 are expected to release this holiday season, all of which feature glow-in-the-dark capabilities.

Joining the black and red “Yecheil” are two additional colourways dubbed the “Yeezreel” and “Yeshaya” to complete the end of year releases from Kanye West and adidas for the popular sneaker silhouette.

The news comes from reliable insider source Yeezy Mafia, which revealed the shoes on its social media platforms earlier today.

The “Yecheil” and neon green “Yeezreel” are expected to arrive this December while the lilac-infused “Yeshaya” drops in January 2020.
