PAUSE Picks: 5 Sneaker Releases of the Week

Paying its respects to the first-ever Nike Air Force, the side of this university red sneaker has “First use June 18, 1971.” This is printed below a Nike swoosh that emulates the original design from that time.

Kanye West’s answer to slippers is releasing in a new colourway. The new hue, which is titled “resin”, is used on the injected EVA foam that the shoe is made from.

Although it is partially hidden by a conservative grey and white colourway, the New Balance vision racer is as striking as ever. The shoe, which is created by Jaden Smith, features a bulky sole unit that is split into three parts.

Equipped with heavy-duty leather, metal eyelets and a chunky sole unit, the Nike Lahar is inspired by Nike’s vast archive. This new take on 1989’s Lahar Escape Boot comes with a brown and deep beetroot hued upper.

After posting a cryptic photo on Instagram that hinted towards a new album, Tyler, The Creator’s Golf Wang label has brought back one of its most popular collaborations with longstanding partners Converse. Using a polka-dot motif which Tyler is known for, the upper is crafted from denim.
