Triple White Y-3 Qasa High

January 20, 2016 by rocky

Here they are, the coke white Y-3 Qasa High. If you’re a reader of this site, the Qasa probably needs little introduction. From afar they seem more like an art object than a sneaker. Not for the meek of heart, these look like they would get scuffed straight out the box. If you can live with the risk however, this is one of the best colorways of this sneaker to date. We’ve covered these before and I had always hoped they would release in triple white. Part of me dreams of wearing these with a crazy teched out arctic look. These are now up for pre-order at Barney’s and Sneakerboy.

This dark grey colorway brings to mind the highly sought after HTM version of the sneaker. The sock liner upper is accented by a silver swoosh, speckled midsole and back leather heel give this a refined look that can be easily worn with techwear staples from the likes of Acronym, Arc’Teryx and Stone Island.

This colorway and 3 others are available at Nike at a retail of $200USD.

New Nike Air Force Mid Colorways

January 5, 2016 by rocky

Nike is starting the year strong by re-issuing it’s classic Air Force One Mid in five clean new color ways. The monochromatic uppers are complimented by reflective heel tabs and rolled edges on the uppers. Each pair features a re-designed midsole that makes the sneaker lighter than regular Forces and also includes an upgraded insole. You may remember black and white versions of the sneaker dropping last year under the label of the CMFT pack (comfort). Having owned the black ones for some time, I can vouch for the leather being a step ahead of what Nike usually offers.

The Vachetta Tan colorway of these drop this Saturday January 9 online and at Nike Lab locations. Look for black, red, white, obsidian navy in the coming weeks. Click through to see all of the colors of the sneaker.
