    Overview:

    The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG SP “Travis Scott Mocha” is widely regarded as one of the defining collaborations of the modern sneaker era. Released in 2019, the pair reworked the classic Air Jordan 1 Low silhouette through Travis Scott’s distinct design language, introducing subtle but impactful changes that set it apart from traditional Jordan releases.

    Rather than dramatically altering the model, the collaboration refined familiar elements while adding a signature twist that instantly made it recognisable.

    Design & Details:

    The upper combines smooth white leather with rich Dark Mocha suede overlays, creating a balanced and wearable colour palette. Black paneling across the toe box and midfoot adds depth, while the oversized reversed Swoosh on the lateral side immediately distinguishes the pair from standard Air Jordan 1 releases.

    Cactus Jack branding appears subtly on the heel and tongue, reinforcing the identity of the collaboration without overwhelming the silhouette. The Sail midsole gives the shoe a slightly aged aesthetic, complementing the earthy tones throughout the upper.

    The OG low-cut construction keeps the pair versatile and easy to wear, whether styled casually or kept strictly as a collector’s piece.

    Release Information:

    Release date: 20th July 2019

    Retail price (UK): £114.95

    Release method: Nike SNKRS (draw)

    Collaboration: Travis Scott x Jordan

    Personal Collection Notes:

    I was fortunate enough to win this pair directly through Nike SNKRS at retail. Since release, it has remained DSWT in my collection with original packaging and spare laces included.

    This is easily one of my favourite pairs in my archive. The combination of Dark Mocha suede and clean white leather feels timeless, while the reversed Swoosh still stands out years later without feeling forced or gimmicky.

    In hand, the material quality and detailing elevate the shoe beyond the hype surrounding its release. For me, this remains one of the most complete collaborations of the modern era not simply because of its resale value, but because the design has genuinely aged well.

    Overview:

    The Central Cee x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Racer Blue” sees UK rap artist Central Cee put his spin on one of Nike’s most iconic silhouettes. This collaboration blends the timeless structure of the Air Force 1 Low with a bold colourway anchored by deep black patent leather, vibrant blue panels and a contrasting yellow Swoosh.

    Following the Air Force 1’s long history in music and culture, this pair emphasises both visual impact and cultural influence, making it one of the most anticipated drops of the season.


    Design and Materials:

    The upper is constructed with glossy black patent leather across the toe box and heel sections, giving the pair a premium sheen. Racer Blue overlays wrap the mid foot and collar, creating a vibrant base tone.

    A bright yellow Swoosh stands out against the darker elements, while matching blue laces tie the colour story together. Central Cee’s branding appears subtly on the heel tab, providing collaborative identity without overwhelming the classic Air Force 1 aesthetic.

    Overview:

    The Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low Sesame continues the ongoing legacy between Virgil Abloh’s deconstructed design language and one of Nike’s most enduring silhouettes. While still rumoured, the pair follows the blueprint established by previous Off-White Air Force 1 releases, blending refined material choices with signature exposed detailing.

    Rather than reinventing the model entirely, this iteration leans into tonal execution. Early imagery suggests a clean and understated take, allowing texture and construction to carry the visual weight.

    Design and Materials:

    The upper is expected to feature sesame-toned premium leather, paired with a contrasting metallic silver Swoosh secured by exposed zig-zag stitching. Classic Off-White elements remain intact, including quotation mark branding and the familiar zip-tie detail.

    Exposed foam along the tongue nods to Virgil Abloh’s deconstructed aesthetic, while tonal overlays maintain the structure of the traditional Air Force 1 Low. The midsole features the recognisable “AIR” text detail, consistent with previous collaborative pairs.

    The overall finish focuses on material contrast over bold colour blocking, delivering a more subtle yet refined execution.

    Release Information:

    Release Date: Rumoured for Autumn 2026

    Expected Retail Price: Around £150

    Release Method: Nike SNKRS and select retailers (to be confirmed)

    As this release is currently unconfirmed, official details from Nike and Off-White are still pending and may change.

    Overview:

    The Air Jordan 4 Retro “All Star Weekend” arrives as part of Jordan Brand’s 2026 All Star celebrations. The release brings a bold Imperial Purple colour scheme to one of the most iconic silhouettes in the Jordan archive, continuing the legacy of statement Air Jordan 4 colour-ways tied to key basketball moments.

    With All Star releases historically generating strong demand, this pair blends performance heritage with lifestyle appeal, making it one of the standout drops of the season. The Air Jordan 4 remains one of my personal favourite silhouettes I own multiple pairs, and it continues to stand out in my rotation.

    Design and Materials:

    The upper is constructed from premium nubuck in Imperial Purple, delivering a rich and elevated look. Black detailing appears across the mesh panels, wings and midsole, adding contrast to the tonal upper.

    Signature Air Jordan 4 elements remain intact, including the visible Air unit, plastic lace wings and structured heel tab. Nike Air branding at the heel completes the design, maintaining the classic identity of the silhouette.

    The colour blocking keeps things bold yet wearable, making it suitable for both collectors and everyday rotation.

    The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Shy Pink” continues the long running collaboration between Travis Scott and Jordan Brand. Part of the 2026 Pink Pack, this release introduces softer pastel tones while maintaining the signature reverse Swoosh that defines the partnership.

    The muted colour palette offers a more understated take on the silhouette while preserving the recognisable design language that has made previous releases highly sought after.

    Design and Materials:

    The upper features a premium nubuck base in soft shy pink, complemented by sail leather overlays on the toe, eyestays and heel. The reverse Swoosh appears in a contrasting pink tone on the lateral side, remaining the defining detail of the model.

    Cactus Jack branding is present on the medial side and tongue, with co branded graphics on the insoles. A sail midsole paired with a pink outsole completes the design, maintaining the elevated construction expected from the collaboration.

    Design and Materials:

    A muslin and sail base creates a clean foundation, layered with smooth leather overlays. The soft pink accents add contrast, while the reverse Swoosh remains the defining detail.

    Cactus Jack branding appears on the medial side and tongue, with co-branded graphics on the insoles. Premium materials maintain the elevated feel expected from the collaboration.

  • Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG Alaska

    Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG Alaska pair in white leather with exposed foam and printed branding

    Overview:


    The Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska” revisits one of the most recognisable collaborations in modern sneaker history. Continuing Virgil Abloh’s deconstructed language, this release builds on the legacy of The Ten while introducing a refined, archival aesthetic.

    Design and Materials:

    The “Alaska” colour-way features a predominantly white leather upper, layered with exposed foam edges and visible stitching that define Off-White’s industrial approach. Signature details return, including the printed medial text, quotation-mark branding, and the iconic orange tab near the Swoosh.

    Subtle ageing cues and layered construction give the silhouette a more considered feel compared to earlier releases, balancing raw experimentation with maturity.

    Cultural Context:

    Few collaborations have reshaped sneaker culture the way Off-White and Jordan Brand did with The Ten in 2017. Virgil Abloh’s reinterpretation of classic Nike silhouettes blurred the line between performance footwear and conceptual design.

    The “Alaska” continues that narrative, reinforcing the Air Jordan 1’s position not only as a basketball icon but as a canvas for contemporary design language.

    Release Information:

    Release Date: Saturday 28 March 2026

    Release Time: 8:00 AM (UK)

    Retail Price: £185

    Style: Air Jordan 1 High OG

    Collaboration: Off-White x Jordan

    Availability is expected via SNKRS and select retailers.

  • Jordan 1 Retro Low OG SP Travis Scott Velvet Brown

    When Jordan Brand and Travis Scott unveiled the Jordan 1 Low OG SP “Velvet Brown,” expectations were already shaped by a legacy of hype-driven releases. Unlike earlier colour-ways that relied heavily on contrast and instant visual impact, this pair takes a more restrained approach leaning into texture, tonal balance, and everyday wearability.

    Design Choices and Materials:

    The Velvet Brown features a rich suede upper dressed in deep earth tones. Off-white and darker brown accents create depth without overpowering the silhouette. The reversed Swoosh remains the defining visual element, but here it blends more subtly into the composition.

    Cactus Jack branding is placed discreetly on the heel and tongue, reinforcing the partnership without dominating the shoe. Rather than reinventing the Jordan 1 Low, this release focuses on elevating familiar elements through material quality and tonal cohesion.


    Place in Sneaker History:

    The Jordan 1 Low Travis Scott “Velvet Brown” represents a quieter chapter in the collaboration’s story. It reflects a broader shift in sneaker culture — where understated colourways and long-term wearability are increasingly valued over immediate hype.

    Whether worn daily or kept within a collection, the Velvet Brown stands as evidence that influential collaborations can mature alongside the audience that follows them.

  • Nike Air Force 1 x Tiffany & Co.1837 

    GOT ’EM graphic + shoe Nike Air Force 1 x Tiffany & Co. 1837 collaboration with black suede upper and Tiffany blue Swoosh

    Overview:

    When Nike and Tiffany & Co. announced their collaboration on the Air Force 1, expectations were unusually high. This wasn’t simply another streetwear crossover it was a meeting of sport and heritage luxury.

    Two brands from very different worlds, aligned on one of Nike’s most recognisable silhouettes.

    A Legacy Behind the Collaboration:

    Long before the 2023 release, Tiffany had already left its mark on sneaker culture through the 2005 Nike SB Dunk Low “Diamond”.

    That release became one of the most iconic collaborations of its era, quietly embedding Tiffany into the sneaker archive.

    The Air Force 1 felt less like a surprise and more like a formal continuation this time on a silhouette recognised across generations.


    Design Choices and Materials:

    Rather than reinventing the Air Force 1, the collaboration focused on refinement.

    Premium black suede gave the shoe a muted, almost formal character. The Tiffany blue Swoosh provided the only strong contrast, used deliberately rather than excessively.

    The details carried the weight. A sterling silver dubrae referenced Tiffany’s jewellery heritage, while the packaging and accessories reinforced the luxury positioning without overwhelming the design.

    This was not spectacle. It was restraint.

    Place in Sneaker History:

    The Nike Air Force 1 x Tiffany & Co. will likely be remembered less for hype and more for what it represents.

    It marked a moment where heritage sportswear and luxury craftsmanship converged with intention.

    Whether worn, collected, or archived, the silhouette occupies a distinct position in modern sneaker history bridging performance legacy with cultural refinement.
