Pharrell - Humanrace x Adidas Samba “Colors Pack”
Release Date: Wednesday, May 15 at Adidas.com, Time TBD
Estimated Price: $170-$180
Currently serving as creative director at Louis Vuitton, Pharell hasn’t forgotten about his commitment to streetwear. The newest collection takes a minimal and classic approach to the sporty silhouette.
A standard gray tone dominates the shoe, accented by signature Adidas stripes available in a variety of rich monochrome shades including “Glory Red”, “Bold Gold”, “Aluminum Preloved Green”, “Blue” (I would describe it as “True Blue”), “Core Black” or the smoky “Aluminum Cloud”.
Pharell’s last October 2023 rollout, including a gray and pink contrasting colorway along with a olive design with contrasting baby blue stripes, were popular due to their whimsical mix of sporty and feminine elements.
This fresh release of commanding colors is guaranteed to compliment any fit in your current wardrobe and make you stand out from the crowd this summer.
It is approaching the year anniversary of Pharell’s debut neon Sambas collection. Is this line harder than the KITH drop above? Let us know your favorite in the comments below.
ASICS Gel - 1130 “Silver Pack”
Release Date: Thursday, May 16 at 10AM EST at FootLocker.com
Estimated Price: $95
This one's for the girls. ASICS' upcoming women’s collection is a trip back in time, drawing from Y2K nostalgia for our childhood trends.
Monochrome pastel pink, blue and green details, almost reminiscent of the Powerpuff girls cartoon, grace this edition of the popular Japanese release. Along the motif, heel, and toe cap designs, the light colors add a bit of playful pop and interest to the eye.
ASICS' successful signature combination of a lightweight cream mesh upper and silver accents is perfect for any function, and can easily be styled from day to night.
The girly take on this cozy “dad” shoe makes it perfect for days full of travel or summer adventures where you need comfort without sacrificing style.
Ladies, will you be adding these to your cart? Let us know in the comments.
Lapstone and Hammer for Asics Dip Dye
Release Date: Sunday, May 18, 12PM EST at lapstoneandhammer.com
Estimated Price: $200
As self proclaimed “connoisseurs of craftsmanship”, Philly-based brand Lapstone and Hammer has expanded their signature dip dye technique to four new colorways.
For this collection of reimagined Asics Gel-Kayano 14’s, the brand used three favorite beverage bases as the pigment - coffee, matcha and ube, producing airy and earthy brown, green, and blue pigments.
Each hand-dyed pair is unique, producing a gradient of different shades as it interacts with materials from suede to mesh.
Lapstone and Hammer’s first “OG Indigo” solo release was wildly successful back in February. The upcoming drop will also include a re-release of the rich blue hue in addition to the new colors.
This one of a kind sustainable shoe will be available in both men's and women’s sizing, perfect to step out coordinating with your boo or crew this season.
Jack Harlow - First Collab Debut
Release Date: TBD
Estimated Price: TBD
Two years after first dropping hints about a shoe deal, the “First Class” rapper recently announced his first collaboration with New Balance.
The same weekend as the infamous Kentucky Derby, the proud Louisville native posted a picture of the hometown inspired design on social media after images of the shoe leaked online.
“Finally made a shoe” was all he wrote.
The base is decorated with a pink and green floral design with an army green sole. The insoles are decorated with sketches of a woman and man dressed in their Sunday best, perhaps a nod to the renowned horse-racing event known for its extravagant fashion.
There is no official release date for the shoe at this time, but at least a confirmed photo is promising of more info to come.
Is this a good first release for Harlow x New Balance? Let us know what you would rate the drop down below.
