There are no boundaries for an athletic product that surfaced off a waffle iron. Such is seen on the NIKE78 Project. This online exhibit asks 78 creative types from all over the world to reinterpret classic running kicks, with the results ranging in both form and funk. Check out the entries here.

Tonal colorways are the calling card on the Vans Syndicate Chukka Low “S” Ballistic Pack. The title stems from ballistic nylon being infused into the sidewall of the otherwise canvas upper. The understated shoe is finished clean with flat waxed laces and an “S” badge sewn on the heel. Both the port wine and black colorways are available at select Vans Syndicate retailers, include CNCPTS.

Nike continues to drop vibrant colorways in its Air Max 95+ BB model this summer. Referred to by many as the Nike Air Max 95 360, this shoe is a hybrid that borrows cues from both modern and classic silhouettes. This particular pair seen today sports a monochromatic black mainstay that is contrasted with pine green on the branding, lace eyelets, and Air Max unit. Shades of grey can also be seen vividly on the tongue and heel tab. Are these a must cop for your summer/fall rotation?
