In addition to the “3M” Vans Authentic we showed you earlier this week, the Nice Kicks shop now has another Authentic colorway dubbed the “Forest Night”. It specifically features a brown canvas-like texture throughout the upper and a different shade of brown on the rubber toe cap. Other elements, such as the cream-colored sole/inner lining and the brown leather laces, add to this Authentic’s subtle yet stylish look. The Vans Authentic CA “Forest Night” is now available at the Nice Kicks shop. Phone orders are welcomed (512.320.8100). You can also order online at the link provided below.

While we’re still waiting on the return of its pops (we’ll get to that), isn’t it about time for a Nike Air Son of Glove retro? This Gary Payton spinoff points to a far different time in sneaker history when a “take down” featured a leather upgrade. Thirteen years after their release, the Son of Glove is far from second fiddle and hopefully near return status. So Nike, bring ‘em back!

Kicks: Nike Air Son of Glove
Released: 1998

Thanks to Cleto for the reminder!

Brands of all sorts, including Givenchy, make cameos in this week’s the good, the bad, and the ugly. In this installment we debate the uncertainty of what could be a major release, give credit to an unexpected release, and see one upcoming release we won’t be rocking. Read on to see what went where.

THE GOOD- UNDER ARMOUR DOUBLE NICKEL MID

Under Armour Double Nickel Mid

These things don’t happen much. No, not Under Armour being in the ‘good’, but a brand bringing out an unreleased model to commemorate a special occasion. While so many drops these days are dependent on colorways and stories unrelated to sports, which is fine, it’s cool to see a brand celebrate a moment and give its due credit. Props to UA and Brandon Jennings.
