NOCTA x Nike Hot Step 2 ‘White’ | DZ7293-100
Drawing inspiration from turf sneakers and basketball shoes from the 1990s, the Hot Step 2 boasts a distinctively chunky framework. Somewhat similar to the Air Max 95, the silhouette’s similar shapes and lacing systems make for a unique exterior, equipped with updated technology in the Air unit provides ultimate comfort. The mini Swooshes, TPU overlays on the midfoot, and heel tabs on the back express chrome detailing, injecting a stealthy and sleek persona.

Chuck 70 Low ‘Black’ (A08858C) & Chuck 70 Low ‘Egret’ (A08857C)
Known for her disruptive and intricate designs, London-based designer Feng Chen Wang is bringing signature lore to Converse once again. Introducing two avant-garde takes on the Chuck 70 Low, the silhouette expresses a 2-in-1 design that merges themes for a structurally innovative finish. Landing in neutral colourways that help to highlight the elaborate construction, both the ‘Black’ and ‘Egret’ iterations are rounded off with a stacked sole for a uniquely intriguing persona.
Friday 10th May

Returning for a restock after they were spotted on the grid of Molly Mae’s perfectly curated IG page, it’s the adidas Handball Spezial ‘Earth Strata’.

Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Chicago’ | BQ6817-600
The highly sought-after Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Chicago’ (J-Pack) is making a comeback. Originally dropping in 2020, this distinctive colourway pays homage to the legendary Air Jordan 1 High ‘Chicago’, famously donned by none other than Michael Jordan himself during his rookie year in 1985. It’s no surprise that this colour scheme, inspired by the Chicago Bulls, remains immensely popular. The upper features a crisp white leather base with overlays in bold black and vibrant red hues. Standout elements include the eye-catching red mudguard around the toe box, the sleek black Swoosh, and the contrasting red overlays on the heel.
Saturday 11th May
Bad Bunny x adidas Campus ‘Deep Brown’ | ID2534
The final Bad Bunny x adidas Campus is a certified head-turner, boasting a lush deep brown suede base that’s smoother than Bad Bunny’s rhymes. The 3-Stripes boast Tan leather, and you can’t miss Bad Bunny’s signature ‘El Ojo’ logo, chilling on the tongue in a sweet pink hue. They even decked out the eyestays, Campus branding, and insoles to match the vibe. Finish it off with a chalky collar, rubber overlays, and a solid rubber sole, and you have one very solid sneaker.

Air Jordan 1 Low OG ‘Shadow’ | CZ0790-003
Landing in and amongst the highly-anticipated Jordan drops for 2024, the Air Jordan 1 Low OG ‘Shadow’ is finally dropping this week. It’s almost as if we can hear the sigh from Jumpman fans everywhere! Decked out with an entirely blacked-out tumbled leather base, grey elements step up to the podium within the Swoosh, toe box and heel for a monochromatic contrast. A bright white stitched midsole invites a clean distinction to the upper, providing the perfect outer to this impressive sneaker.
