Nike and Kendrick Lamar continue their collaborative endeavours shifting focus from the classic likes of the Cortez for the modern Nike React Element 55.

The React’s upper comes wrapped in an easily recognizable two-toned marble surface, with inverted colors providing a stark contrast between panels. The over-sized Swoosh logo remains, but via a transparent fused overlay keeping the white marble at the forefront of the silhouette. There is, however, a miniature Swoosh in black placed at the fore-foot. The structural integrity of the midsole remains, but some visual toppings via a speckle print and the black marble detailing appear on the traction rivets.

Pairs will release through our online store from 12am midnight tonight AEDT Tuesday the 5th of November.

Sizes US6 through to US12 (including some half sizes) will be available in both colour ways for $220AUD.

Until tonight, we’ll leave you with all of the finer details after the jump…

Designed in conjunction with the Garbstore’s very own Ian Paley, each pair features the same unexpected, performance-based zig zag (zigtech) sole re-designed and re-tooled with a uniquely innovative three-part energy system:  

• Floatride Fuel: light and responsive Floatride Fuel – an expansion from Reebok’s award-winning Floatride technology family - provides an energised cushioning experience.
• Zig Energy Shell: Encapsulating the foam midsole, the Zig Energy Shell channels and returns the kinetic energy of your stride, while providing a bold aesthetic.

Jordan Brand’s release calendar is packed with some exciting releases over the coming month, and one of these is the Air Jordan 12 ‘Reverse Taxi’.

This release pays tribute to one of Jordan’s more frequently worn pairs during the 1996-1997 season. The reverse rendition leaves its mudguards untouched, but flips what was once a classic white leather upper for a combination of suede and nubuck in tonal blacks.

A little bit of contrast and excitement comes in the form of a white zoom air infused midsole and metallic gold lacestays. Embroidered red ‘Jumpman’ logo and taxi themes are added with the ‘TWO3' text running down the tongue and through to the yellow zig-zag amidst the outsole.

Pairs will release through our online store from 12am midnight AEDT Thursday the 7th of November.

Sizes US7 through to US14 (including some half sizes) will be available for $270AUD.

Nike take their latest Air Force 1 to the next level mixing technologically advanced construction with hints of the militaria.

The Gore-Tex dressed pair is yet another in the “The 10th” series, a line dedicated to the iconic Bill Bowerman and the heroics of his decorated military career. Cut to a high-top height, the pair evokes quite a bit of connection to the model’s duck boot tooling as hardened shells arm the toe box for winter weather, overlays of smooth leathers as well as ballistic nylons further proof the silhouette for harsher weather conditions. The off-white colourway comes contrast with icy blue soles and swooshes as well as bold “GORE-TEX” emblazoned right on the heel. The addition of the ‘zipper bootie’ adorned with toggles at the rear make for an easy on-and-off.

Pairs will be releasing via our online store on Friday the 1st of November from 12am AEDT.

Pairs will be available US8 through to US13 (including some half sizes) for $280AUD.

Affix and Asics continue their partnership with the release of another GEL-Kinsei OG, this time around giving the technical runner and even more tactical aesthetic with added GORE-TEX.

Following the release of its “New Utility” offerings, Kiko Kostadinov, Taro Ray, Stephen Mann and Michael Kopelman of AFFIX have given the recently-revived classic a clean blue, brown and green-toned upper. By muting the colors, the utilitarian label gives the GEL-Kinsei a clean, industrial-indebted look that suits the shoe’s technical nature.

The sneaker comes equipped as standard with Impact Guidance System technology in the sole unit — which encourages a more natural foot movement as well as internal molded heel counters, a TRUSSTIC SYSTEM for reinforced stability and GEL technology in the front and rear sole unit components. New to the GEL-Kinsei is GORE-TEX, which has been used on the upper to provide weather-resistance.

Pairs will be releasing via our online store on Saturday the 2nd of November from 12am AEDT.

Pairs will be available US8 through to US13 (including some half sizes) for $320AUD.
