Sneakers Dropping This Weekend: Air Jordan 10 ‘London’

Nike continues to drop dope releases in their city pack. Following on from the ‘Chicago’ and ‘Rio’ releases (which dropped earlier in the year), Nike will be dropping the London Air Jordan 10 this weekend.

The London-inspired Air Jordan 10 is dressed in a pure platinum, metallic gold and dark grey colour scheme. The tonal Grey upper represents one of London’s nicknames, 'The Big Smoke'. This nickname was given to the city due to the 1950’s era when London residents would use coal fires to warm their homes.

The smoke combined with fog would colour the London sky with tones of grey, similar to the upper of this retro. Metallic gold accents are added throughout the shoe – most notably on the stitched 'LDN' – providing a premium look for a premium city.

The Air Jordan 10 ‘London’ will drop on Saturday, 18 June 2016 at selected retailers.

First Look: PUMA x Trapstar DISC Blaze

PUMA collaborated with London street wear brand Trapstar on the DISC Blaze - one of PUMA’s iconic footwear silhouettes.

Conceived in the UK’s capital city, Trapstar was founded by Mikey, Lee and Will Trapstar who began making custom t-shirts for friends. It wasn’t long before celebrities, including PUMA’s Global Creative Director and Ambassador Rihanna, wore these bold, graphic t-shirts.

The PUMAxTrapstar DISC Blaze (R2299) has an all-over leather upper on a cleaner, simplified DISC sneaker. Finished in black, even the DISC cage has been given a soft nubuck leather treatment.

The white speckled midsole sits alongside a translucent red outsole, while the sneaker’s red colour-pop on its DISC strap and the graphic Trapstar logo on the heel highlights Trapstar’s design ethos, and achieves the ultimate balance between street wear and fashion.

The PUMAxTrapstar DISC Blaze will be available at Shelflife and Anatomy from 12 December 2015.
