One thing’s for certain, you’ve gotta give props to ALIFE for hammering out classics time and time again. Their products are clever, cool and always on point. Doesn’t really matter whether it’s a tee, collectible or pair of kicks, chances are, it’ll look good. Case and point – the ALIFE Everybody Mono High Oiled sneakers.

Monotone, no frills, yet full of flavor. Available in three colorways – blue-black, all-black and wheat-black. Featuring waxed laces, an all-leather upper, plus a classic ALIFE logo stamped onto the lateral side, this one sets the standard for understated street cred. A definite cop.

Jordan heads have been hit recently with a truckload of Jordan special make-ups, hybrids, and fusions. While the reactions have been somewhat mixed by the masses, you can’t hate on the latest Air Jordan IV x Air Force One Fusion style. Blending two classics into one is always a risky formula, but Jordan pulled it off this time with flying colors. Clean, crisp and simple. 

Taking key elements from both styles, the AJ4 x AF1 combination let’s newbies gawk accordingly, and keeps OG heads satisfied at the same time. The icing on the cake – the style is available in the three classic color combos including white-black-cement, black-grey-red, and the almighty True Blue colorway.

A special thanks to Hikmet at Solebox for the tip on the upcoming New Balance x Solebox collaboration, dubbed “The Finals”, dropping August 22nd. The limited edition release will include two versions of the popular NB 1500 sneaker, both based on the very first New Balance x Solebox collaboration – the NB 1500 GGB.

The classic retro runner will be released in two color versions – a Solebox exclusive red panel version, limited to only 350 pairs, as well as a green panel version scheduled for a wider release at select stores around the world.

Judging by New Balance’s track record so far with Solebox collaborations, this one’s guaranteed to be gone in no time. Adding to the surrounding hype, this limited edition release is rumored to be the final collaboration between New Balance and Solebox.
