Nike Air Max 1 ‘87 WMNS ‘Aura’ – FQ8900-440
Kicking off this week’s Top Drops with a tailored banger – the Air Max 1 ‘87 ‘Aura’ is arriving with an intriguingly refreshing aesthetic. Falling in line with the AM1 ‘87 tradition of delivering edge with every iteration, these kicks take on a denim persona across the upper, communicated across various washes. An indigo denim sets the tone for a grounded base, adorned with lighter washed overlays. Looking towards the lower, a beige midsole and off-white mudguard work in conjunction to provide an attractive foundation. Mustard detailing rounds off this distinctive offering, flooding the tongue, laces, and within contrast stitching.

Wales Bonner x adidas Samba Autumn/Winter 23
Like pretty much everyone, we’re fans of the Wales Bonner x adidas Samba. I mean hey, we’re only human! The collaborative alliance has well and truly smashed it on the viral front, with the silver Samba dominating TikTok. Landing in four season-specific colourways that are ideal for Autumn/Winter, these kicks do not disappoint.
Starting with colourways ‘Core Black’ and ‘Fox Brown’, these dynamic iterations adopt a blend of short-haired suede with contrasting leather hits within the upper. The complimentary hues drive a streamlined persona whilst simultaneously feeling visually distinctive. Meanwhile, ‘Cream White’ and ‘Dark Brown’ boast a fine pony hair exterior, cultivating a regal flair that’s just *chefs kiss*. Boasting an exterior of leopard spots, the ‘Dark Brown’ silhouette slightly differs from the typical collaborative aesthetic, and we’re here for it! Each model sits atop a rubber gum midsole, channelling the OG ‘40s energy. Brass-toned rings grace the eyelets, adding the finishing touch to these retro bangers.

Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Mid ‘Varsity Maize’ – DR0500-101
Boasting a confident exterior of yellow and white hues, the Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Mid ‘Varsity Maize’ is finally in reach. It’s not a collaborative Off-White sneaker without a flurry of distinctive design elements, and this iteration is no exception. From a spiked outer to zip-ties; these kicks are dripped out in the unmistakable identity of the luxury streetwear label. The two-toned palette allows the sneaker’s unique personality to take the spotlight, equipped with sleek dual branding throughout.

Nike Air Max Plus ‘25th Anniversary’ – FV0393-001
Marking the 25th Birthday of an iconic model, the Swoosh are treating us to an extra special serving of the Nike Air Max Plus. Paying homage to the timeless gradient passed down from the OG, this iteration flaunts an attractive display of blue and varsity red. Communicated visually via a crinkled paper effect across the upper, these kicks are embedded with the unique flair that we all know and love. Keeping things authentic, the striking yellow emblem rounds off this special pair, finished with visible Air units for unparalleled comfort.

Nike Zoom Vomero 5 ‘Light Bone’ – FV0397-001
Sporting a pleasant palette of milky khaki hues, the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 ‘Light Bone’ arrives appropriately for the Autumn season. Utilising the retro runner’s dynamic construction of mesh, suede and TPU, the sneaker exudes a contemporary steeze despite the nostalgic heritage. ‘Medium Olive’ sets the tone amongst the silhouette, gracing the tongue, laces and insole lining – not forgetting the stitch-outlined Swoosh. Elsewhere, cream tints flood the quarter panel and part of the midsole, achieving an effortlessly sophisticated charisma.

Air Jordan 5 ‘Midnight Navy’ – FD6812-400
Initially teased some months ago, the Air Jordan 5 ‘Midnight Navy’ is on its way to bring the heat this Winter. A deep blue blend of canvas and premium distressed suede dominates the upper, guiding our attention to the complimentary speckled shark teeth detailing within the sole unit. Black hits within the eyelets, branding and insole keep things grounded, whilst adding a subtle, but noticeable contrast. You lot who claim you can’t mix blue and navy – who’s laughing now? Brought to a close through an icy translucent outsole, we’re excited to see how the streets style these.

Air Jordan 11 Retro WMNS ‘Neapolitan’ – AR0715-101
Appearing just as delicious as the name states, the Air Jordan 11 Retro WMNS ‘Neapolitan’ lands as our final Top Drop this week. Drawing clear inspiration from the delectable arrangement that is the Neapolitan ice cream, the palette implements chocolate brown, sail vanilla, and of course, strawberry pink. The cocoa hue takes shape amongst a glossy patent mudguard, sandwiched between the sail tones of the upper and outer. A translucent sole rounds off this sweet treat – almost good enough to eat!
