Under Armour Curry 2 "All Star"
Aside from Christmas, the NBA's All-Star weekend is a crazy time for sneakerheads. New silos get introduced, and sneakers packing serious heat drop left and right. And since the best players in the NBA are gonna be representing their teams and conferences throughout 3 days of action, it's pretty much assumed that players will be doing so in loud and over the top sneakers.
Nike dropped a pack for their signature athletes inspired by sport royalty. While Adidas looked to the Aurora Borealis as a theme for their All-Star sneakers. But if you ask me, the best looking sneaker to drop this entire weekend is Steph Curry's "All-Star" editon Curry 2. Decked out in a white upper with hits of red and gold, Steph Curry's sig stands out from the crowd of loud and over the top kicks you'll be seeing come the All-Star Game. The iced out sole just adds to that extra clean look. If you're feeling it, pick up a pair now at a Titan store near you.

Uniqlo Sneakers are Coming
The day has finally arrived. Uniqlo, the Japanese fast fashion institution finally comes out with sneakers. Sure, they've dropped a few before, but none on the massive scale at which the brand operates nowadays. The styles themselves aren't anything truly groundbreaking - just riffs on classic canvas slip-on and plimsoll shapes in a number of colors. But in the middle of a Philippine summer, the last thing you need on your feet is more heat. Hopefully these styles make their way soon to a Uniqlo near you.

Eating Your Words For Dinner
I'll admit, I wasn't a huge fan of Native shoes. I appreciate the brand's novel approach to classic footwear silhouettes, but I really just couldn't see myself getting behind them. Then, they up and dropped the Apollo Moc which ended up turning a lot of heads toward the lightweight footwear brand. While we wait for the local drop to happen sometime next year, the rest of the world gets treated to a special hand-dyed collection that includes the Apollo Moc's mid-top brother, the Apollo Chukka.
Utilizing dyeing techniques inspired by the Japanese, this limited edition pack drapes the Apollo Moc in Shibori Grey, the Apollo Chukka goes Shibori Blue, while both silos get a black color up as well. Stores such as KITH, Hypebeast, and Livestock will be carrying them starting November 3. But until the first colorway of the Apollo Mocs release locally, I'll quietly eat my words for dinner and maybe save some for breakfast too.

The FILA Grant Hill III Will Return.
FILA keeps the 90's basketball sneaker resurgence strong as they're primed to re-launch Grant Hill's third signature sneaker. After the re-launch of Hill's two previous FILA sneakers was met with much enthusiasm from many sneakerheads, the Grant Hill III (Now called the FILA 97) looks to keep the retro love going well into the end of the year.
There's no word yet on whether these shoes will hit local stores. But since Grant Hill's first two shoes did, it doesn't seem like a stretch thinking the 97 won't be too hard to cop. The release date has been set for October 10.

Herschel Supply Co. x Clarks Originals Desert Boot
Originally designed for British Army officers to wear off-duty, there's no denying the casual appeal the Clarks Desert Boot has enjoyed over generations. Its shape has played canvas to countless collaborations over the years. This time around, luggage and accessories brand Herschel Supply Co. puts their own spin on the iconic silhouette.
The collaborative effort brings out a desert boot decked out in navy leather done up with contrasting white stitching. The monotony is further broken up with the inclusion of a denim heel patch, leather laces, signature Herschel candy-stripe lining, and the timeless Clarks crepe sole.
As of now, there's no word whether these boots will hit local Clark's retailers. But those interested in picking up a pair can do so now at End. Check out more looks after the jump.

Native Apollo Moc
By far, this is the nicest pair of Native shoes I have ever seen. It also doesn't hurt that they'll be going for the pretty fair price of $70. If you're in the New York area next month, then you can pick up a pair at Kith on August 15th. Those of us who aren't as lucky will have to wait for wider distribution starting in November.
In the meantime, check out more looks after the jump.

Huf Dylan Rieder Signature Model
Pro skater Keith Hufnagel's eponymous clothing and footwear brand brings forth a new signature shoe for team rider Dylan Rieder. Developed under close direction from Dylan himself, the shoe takes on a minimalist aesthetic inspired by high fashion. The Dylan is a low profile silhouette built with quality leather. Cutaway sidewalls on the midsole enhance flexibility, air channels help with ventilation, and padded ankle collars add both support and a comfortable fit. Debossed branding on the heel and tongue finish off the shoe, making the Dylan another strong addition to the growing Huf footwear line.
The Dylan in both Burnished Black and Vintage White colorways are available now on the Huf website. Hopefully local retailers of the brand such as The Rail will have them in stores soon.
Check the jump for more angles, and take a peek at the Dylan's artsy launch video.

Superga x Versus Versace 2750 Cotu Classic
Hopefully more designs come down the pipeline in the foreseeable future. But in the meantime, expect these to drop at select Versus and Superga stores worldwide starting June 29. Retail price is $150, so if they drop in local Superga stores, you do the math.

Fila 95 and 96
We've all heard so much about how the 90's was the golden age of sneaker design. And rightfully so, judging from the amount of older sneakerheads salivating whenever a quintessential shoe from that era gets the retro treatment. I was a kid in the 90s, so the shoes I had were the ones my parents would get for me. But I remember Nike brought out some memorable shoes back then, as did Reebok, and Adidas.
| 96 |
I never really paid attention to Fila, up until they signed an NBA player named Grant Hill. The dude was killing it in the 90s! There was a point where he was even touted to be the next Michael Jordan! Now those of you who follow basketball may know that didn't happen, and some injuries may have gotten in the way of Grant Hill to reach his full potential during his playing years. But Grant Hill will no doubt go down as one of the greats from that bygone era.
