Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit


 The Nike Air Force 1 holds revered status in sneaker culture. It's transcended seamlessly from hardwood to street fashion. Sneaker trends come and go, but a clean pair of Uptowns always looks good in any rotation. While it may seem like an insane idea to mess with such a legendary silhouette in any way, Nike brings it to the present by utilizing a combination of Flyknit and Flywire. The result is a lighter, stronger Air Force 1 that's open to some crazy design possibilities. Pick up a pair from today at retailers such as Commonwealth in SM Aura and Titan Two Parkade.

Adidas Ace16+ PureControl



Adidas Football made waves last year when the brand announced that it would be discontinuing iconic football boots such as the Predator to be replaced with what the brand saw as shoes for two types of players on the pitch. While the strategy has worked for most, it looks like the brand is going all in as they unveiled the next iteration of the Adidas Ace boots.

Made for players who like to control all aspects of the game, the Ace 16+ PureControl is a dynamic knitted boot with a high collar that might remind some of the Nike Magista. Adidas goes one step further by removing the laces to ensure only the purest of ball feel when it comes to both dribbling and striking. Look for the Ace 16+ boots to be on the feet of players such as Mesut Ozil, James, Ivan Rakitic and Oscar and check out local boot retailers such as BootCamp for availability.

Kendrick Lamar x Reebok Classic Leather


Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar's collaborative effort with Reebok was one of the surprising releases of last year. Aside from the concept of uniting gang violence between the Crips and Bloods, last year's drop turned out some really sick looking shoes. This time around, the same concept and color schemes can be found on another shoe from the Reebok classic archive - the Classic Leather. If you're feeling the love, or if you missed out on the first shoe, pick up a pair this Saturday at Sole Academy.
