Detailed Look at the Travis Scott x Nike Air Max 1 “Baroque Brown”
ponedjeljak , 28.02.2022.Travis Scott and Nike (NYSE:NKE +1.19%) have big plans for the fall, as the Cactus Jack head honcho is set to join forces with Nike Sportswear for a five-pack of collaborative takes on the Air Max 1. As images of Scott and the Swoosh’s latest effort(s) begin to trickle out via Instagram and Twitter‘s horde of sneaker leakers, we now have a closer look at the collection’s “Baroque Brown” colorway.
Originally teased by the rapper himself back in May, the “Baroque Brown” offers an earthy palette that’s equal parts Cactus Jack and Nike ACG. Uppers are constructed of a rectangle-patterned “Lemon Drop” mesh, while the shoe’s signature “Baroque Brown” shade is placed on mudguards, collars and heel overlays. A boot-like medium brown is used on the forefoot overlay, midfoot overlay and tongue.
“Chile Red” brings some flair into the mix on the rope laces and top eyestays, while special branding is served up by Scott’s backward Swoosh on the lateral midfoot, pennant-like Nike and Cactus Jack embellishments on the heel and a special tongue badge. Three-tone brown and red fabric strips connect the overlays for a touch of trail style. Down below, brown and cream midsoles surround an opaque Air Max cushioning unit while outsoles present a tire tread-inspired traction pattern and a “Cactus Corporation” detail.
Apart from its color scheme and branded hits, the “Baroque Brown” also features some structural differences from a regular Air Max 1. The most notable of these are its alternate midfoot and forefoot overlays, but the collar appears to be a little thinner and the tongue a little thicker than Tinker Hatfield‘s original design.
A release date for the Travis Scott x Nike Air Max 1 “Baroque Brown” has yet to be announced, but it’s likely to hit shelves this holiday season. The MSRP has been speculated to be $160 USD.

The Second Nike SB Dunk Low "ACG Terra" Colorway Boasts "Red Plum" and "Citron" Accents
The Nike (NYSE:NKE +0.11%) SB division has a profusion of new kicks still left in the cannon for 2021, and the latest to be added into the mix is this second Nike SB Dunk Low “ACG Terra” makeup. This latest version serves as a follow-up to the “Varsity Purple” and “Sunburst” iteration that released back in 2020.
Like its predecessor, it’s the 90s retro hiking-inspired tones that give the kicks its appeal. Most of the upper build is done up with a smooth suede material that primarily alternates between black finishes that are thrown onto the toe boxes, quarters and collars and “Red Plum” accents that appear on the overlays. The Swooshes and the Nike SB branding that shows face on the tongues are dialed to a cool “Citron” hue while the Nike lettering on the rear end is splashed with a “Taxi” orange color. Black speckled wallpaper decorates the midsoles to further echo its outdoor theme, and comes backdropped with a crisp white. The treading down under brings together its entire design with an all-black outer.
There’s no official word as to when Nike SNKRS will be dropping these yet, but it’s likely that they could drop in the coming months for $100 USD.

The Nike SB Dunk High "277" Is Inspired by Magnus Walker's 1971 Porsche 911
srijeda , 16.02.2022.Over the past few months, Nike has taken inspiration from some of history's most iconic sportscars for its sneakers. From the "Gulf" to the "Pink Pig", it looks like the Beaverton brand are paying homage to yet another famous vehicle with the Nike SB Dunk High "277"!
A homage to Magnus Walker‘s massive Porsche collection, more specifically, his 1971 Porsche 911 T "277", every single little detail has been replicated onto this Dunk. Featuring a blue, red, and white colour palette, the "277" features a multi-textured leather and suede construction. Different finishes add depth to the design with perforations mimicking sports seats and a sky blue Swoosh that shoots across the lateral and medial sides with speed.
"277" ventures out onto the heel for a supercar type look and feel, while racing stripes can be found along the back of the Zoom Air midsole complete with Nike branding in all caps, finalising the design.
Pretty much nothing else is known about the Magnus Walker x Nike SB Dunk High "277" at this moment in time, so be sure to keep it locked at The Sole Supplier for more news as it develops! In related news, luxurious velour graces the Dover Street Market x Nike Dunk Low!

Nike SNKRS Drops Major Dunk Restock
The Nike SNKRS app brought back a handful of previously sold-out Dunks on Tuesday morning, giving users a second chance at buying the limited styles for their original retail price.
First, the app was refreshed intermittently this morning with SB Dunks like those from collaborators Carpet Company and Concepts.
Then, at 11 am EST, Nike opened up a section in the app where a handful of Dunk High colorways, among them the “Football Grey” and “Dark Curry,” were made available via a draw system that was open for 10 minutes. Nike continued to replenish the styles at 11:30 with a similar sale for Dunk Lows that have long since disappeared from the app. At the time of writing, the Dunk Low pairs are still available via Nike’s in-app draw here.
The Nike SNKRS app has been the source of much frustration for would-be sneaker buyers, its limited stock usually selling out quickly, which in turn inspires social media venting. Restocks on the app, like the one made available for various Dunks today, sometimes come off as a Nike effort to quell this anger by giving shoppers another chance at its most difficult-to-obtain shoes.

Errolson Hugh on Acronym’s Nike Blazer: ‘You Can’t Expect People to Understand It at First’
srijeda , 09.02.2022.Acronym’s version of the Nike Blazer Low, a sneaker frilled on its upper with angular incisions and augmented at the back with a screwed-on heel counter, took a protracted, twisting path toward its commercial launch.
“The shoe itself had a really long journey for a couple of reasons,” said Errolson Hugh, the designer and co-founder of technical apparel brand Acronym, tracing the story of his Blazers during a launch event at German sneaker boutique Solebox last weekend.
It began in May 2017 as a prototype made by gluing a paper shroud with X-Acto cuts onto an existing base sneaker, the Fragment x Undercover x Nike Match Classic. At one point, Acronym’s Blazer collaboration was meant to take shape on the Nike Killshot, but then that model rotated out of Nike’s calendar. For a time the samples wore a draw-cord system, an innovation borrowed from Jordan Brand, but it wasn’t performing as intended. Then a global pandemic interrupted the Blazers’ development. A colorway got canceled along the way.
The Blazers are a product of Hugh navigating through Nike to push its limitations and maneuvering past the obstacles of working alongside such a mammoth company.
“You have to be ready for that,” he tells Complex, “and it’s your ability to handle those types of setbacks that will determine the outcome of a project, possibly even more than the design itself.”
A backstory so intricate is appropriate for a sneaker from Acronym, a brand built on details. Its jackets read like an Escher layout of zippers and pockets, seam lines bouncing off each other to set up some impossible structure. Its sneakers with Nike have reflected this, pushing archival models in new directions.
The closest relative of the Acronym x Nike Blazer Low though is not the brand’s past Nike collaborations—its Lunar Force 1s or its patterned VaporMaxes—but the Undercover adaptation of the Nike Daybreak from 2019. At Solebox, Hugh described how that shoe inspired his latest.
That Daybreaks, like the reimagined Blazers after them, has a chunky piece of plastic jutting off its rear. Hugh said that Nike’s designers worked on the part for two years, originally creating a collapsible heel frame that allowed the wearer to step down and take the shoe on or off without having to use laces. But it was not sufficiently novel.
“Just before they were about to go to market,” Hugh explained, “legal was like, ‘Hey, there’s a patent violation, so we can’t actually release this shoe.’”
Nike’s designers fortified the heel piece with a plastic shank to keep it from collapsing, avoiding potential litigation and neutering its purpose. (Months after the shoes’ release, hands-free sneaker brand Kizik announced an investment from Nike that came with an intellectual property license.) Hugh, who’s lived in the shoes since their release, discovered in the Undercover x Nike Daybreak some vestigial functionality.
“With the particular way that the upper’s formed,” he said, “and with that shank inside there giving it the stiffness, you can just set the laces once and put your foot in there and step down and the part that prevents the tailgate from collapsing actually works almost like a shoehorn.”
With that, his Blazer Lows found their muse. Acronym’s take on the retro basketball shoe has ghillie-patterned cuts on its upper, a shoehorn-like lip at the collar, and clips on the heel that act as stand-ins for the Daybreak’s tailgate. Short of a proper FlyEase system, they enable a quick-on, quick-off entry.
The final result of a half-decade of design input and development will arrive this week. The Acronym x Nike Blazer Low releases will comprise two colorways of the shoes, which will be available first on Acronym’s website on Wednesday, Feb. 9, and then via SNKRS and Nike retailers the following day. The shoes are priced at $140. Their rollout features commissioned graphics from Japanese graffiti writer NESM. The collection also uses work from typographer David Rudnick.

Official Look at the Supreme x Nike SB Dunk High "By Any Means" in "Brazil"
Following the debut of its collaborative Nike (NYSE:NKE -1.11%) SB Dunk High in “Navy/Red” last week, Supreme is adding to its ever-expanding catalog of the emblematic sneaker with the release of the “By Any Means” design in a new “Brazil” colorway.
The high-cut sneaker construction boasts a series of inviting details — the uppers enlist a smooth leather and a green tone that dominates the Swoosh iconography, laces and overlays, while a yellow hue controls the front toe box, collars, tongues and quarter panels on the silhouette.
Elsewhere, several embellishments give the shoe its original look. On the lateral forefoot, a symbol reading “No <3” adds a strong pop of red, and the tongue logo takes on a new form with the phrase “SUP” placed in the background of the Swoosh. On the back of the sneaker, the “By Any Means” design, which takes on a New York Magazine-inspired font, wraps around the lower green leather, while a “Supreme Team” embroidery lands on the top yellow leather in a matching green color.
A release date has not yet been announced for the “Brazil” silhouette, though it is likely that the sneaker will launch on Supreme and SNKRS in the coming weeks.
