The 1990s is perhaps the most influential era in fashion and pop culture and as we find history repeating itself in the form of fashion, Patta x Mizuno take aim at reversing the hands of time. Always known for their clean motifs and projects, Patta collaborates on the Mizuno Sky Medal. Originally debuted during the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics, the runner made its initial release to market in 1994. From its low profile to the bold Mizuno logo that rests along the lateral and medial quarters, the third installment in the collaboration includes a clean Ivory perforated base and matching midsole/outsole, and bold green overlay that spans and cuts and contours the entire length of the upper. Seamlessly blending sport and lifestyle, this sportstyle launch is slated to drop April 1st at Patta, with additional retailers to follow in a subsequent drop on April 15th.

"VICTORY" OFF-WHITE was officially awarded a win in the brand's claim for its now (legally) patented zip tie. Since its utilization beginning in 2016, the zip tie has become an integral part of the OFF-WHITE product experience. As one of the staple elements alongside the usage of quotations, the copyright and trademark symbols and the aligned left text descriptors; the red zip tie was officially granted a patent with the United States Patent & Trademark Office. The process began in 2018 with the first application for the accessory, and met several roadblocks along the journey. Now designated as registration no. 6,681,777; serial number 88-041,456 with the USPTO, its description is as follows (in-part): three-dimensional configuration of a zip tie with a substantially rectangular end, all in the color red as used on footwear. This also marks another win for additional OFF-WHITE staple elements with the USPTO. With the red zip tie now legally OFF-WHITE's, thought turns to protections of across variations of the zip tie in color. OFF-WHITE explored what you could do with the zip tie back in 2017, as seen below.

A lesson in duality New Balance and Kawhi Leonard recently launched the 'New Money' lead colorway of the Kawhi II signature model and follow up that release with a lesson in duality. All things being equal, you are the master of your own fate; your fate is in your hands ... notions that give life to the colorway thanks to Kawhi's fabled hand size giving the nickname 'Palmistry' to the ying and yang, black and white color palette. Featuring a clean white predominant upper, while the medial heel counter and heel topline is a contrasting stark black. Release is scheduled for Friday, April 1st.

European retailer End is reigniting their partnership with the Italian-based footwear brand, Diadora. Known for their craftsmanship and luxurious material quality, the two have collaborated to create memorable launches such as 2019's summertime, poolside 'Lido' N9002 and 2017's 'Opera' V7000. The 2022 rendition includes two V7000s, both inspired by Northern Italy liquors; 'Limoncello' and 'Grappa'. Constructed from leathers and suedes, the two silhouettes are a white grape and lemon blend, speaking to the two main ingredients of the liquors. The 'Limoncello' is stamped by a lemon stitched into the let heel and END branding on the right; while the 'Grappa' depicts a sultry vine of grapes on the heel. Coupled with a keen attention to detail and enriched storytelling experience, both renditions are packaged with a co-branded shot glass to toast and salute the releases and detailed imagery on the shoeboxes. Launch is currently exclusive to End and will launch on April 2nd, sign-up is available on End.

"LEGACY" Since the untimely passing of Virgil Abloh in November, the state of his OFF-WHITE brand has been left in flux. But the brand intends to continue Abloh's vision and execute the multi-hyphenated creator's ethos. Among the visions left behind is the soon-to-be-released Nike Blazer Low. Originally part of 'The Ten' collection that introduced us to Nike x OFF-WHITE, the Blazer which made its appearance in a high form is being scaled down for the first time under Abloh's care. Utilizing elements from previous OFF-WHITE x Nike collaborations, such as; the circular cutouts that are aplenty across the full grain leather upper – to the enhanced lacing system that is held in place by Flywire loops, which we've seen on the track inspired models and the 50 Nike Dunks from last summer. In addition to traditional OFF-WHITE signature elements; the tab under the Swoosh, (now patented) zip tie and OFF branding. The curious twist however comes from the TPU heel component that draws DNA from the Air Terra Humara. And for those keeping score at home, that is the same early 2000s model that the NOCTA x Nike Hot Step was born from. The curiosity from Abloh came from a simple question: Can we… splice the real Humara tooling and fuse it into a vulcanized sole? Mission accomplished. The posthumous OFF-WHITE x Nike release will take place Friday, April 8th on SNKRS. OFF-WHITE x Nike Blazer Low White/University Red DH7863-100 4. 8. 22. $140 OFF-WHITE x Nike Blazer Low Black/Electro Green DH7863-001 4. 8. 22. $140

A new take on a classic Over the years, we've seen Jordan Brand (and Nike) invert numerous models and color palettes. The 'Brave Blue' Air Jordan 13 joins those ranks. Originally released in 1998 as an Air Jordan 13 Low, the colorway returned as part of Jordan Brand's remastered initiative in 2017. Just a short five years removed from that retro, the Low is upscaled into a mid-cut iteration that comes beautifully arranged to mirror its predecessors. For now, release is slated for April 29th, but with the supply chain's current situation – release dates are extremely fluid. Stay linked to our launch dates page for any movement on that front.

If you need any confirmation that sneakers indeed have their own language, look no further than this Air Jordan 3 SE. Thanks to the late visionary, Virgil Abloh – the term, "Muslin" is now weaved into the fabric of the Jordan and Nike lexicon. Then ahead of his time with the phrasing, we now see an advent of vintage-styled customs and motifs, accompanied usually with a clean white or sail appearance. The Air Jordan 3 Retro SE follows the 'Muslin' and vintage cues and breadcrumbs to the letter. With its canvas framed upper, beautiful base coat, smooth grey panels at the toe and heel; matched by a solid grey-based outsole. The cream, cocoa eyelet, midsole and heel – in total, accented by a deep University Red that includes the tongue and heel Jumpman popping off the silhouette. This spring offering comes Friday, March 25th at select Jordan Brand retailers and SNKRS. Air Jordan 3 Retro SE "Muslin" Muslin/University Red-Cement Grey-Sail CW5883-101 3. 25. 22. $200
