Miu Miu x New Balance 574 Gets New Round Of Colorways

by

Miu Miu X New Balance previously dropped a line of 574s as part of their Spring/Summer 2022 collection. The shoes debuted at Paris Fashion Week. Miu Miu and New Balance are releasing a new line of the iconic 80s sneaker silhouette. The shoe from the first collab was re-purposed with raw-cute edges. The design was similar to the garments showcased in the Spring/Summer 2022 collection such as the iconic micro-mini skirt.

For this collaboration, the Miu Miu X New Balance 574 shoes are crafted in a signature Y2K-inspired “Fringed Blue” design simulating the hue of classic blue jeans with contrasting white laces. Other color offerings of the sneaker include a distressed “Marble-Effect Cognac Denim.” The colorway is a deep brown hue that is dripped throughout the shoe and laces. “Blanched White” leather has a muted pearly white hue. Elsewhere, the tongue of the sneaker is adorned with the New Balance x Miu Miu logo. The logo was also displayed in their first sneaker collaboration.

Moreover, the shoe can be seen as both a fashion and athletic statement. The distressed materials on the shoe allow room for experimental styling, which the luxury label and Boston-based shoe brand are no strangers to. You can pair the shoe with a complimentary New Balance tracksuit or go the girly route with a classic mini skirt, high socks, and a Miu Miu bag. These sneakers will suit any look. Although they were not featured in the Spring/Summer 2023 showcase, this new collab fits into the Miu Miu label’s elevated streetwear meets business-casual aesthetic.

Additionally, these sneakers (although high in price) are sure to sell out just as fast as the first drop. The “Fringed Blue” and “Cognac Denim” colorways retail for $950, while the “Blanched White Leather” retails for $1,020. The sneaker comes equipped with white rubber soles infused with ENCA. ENCA is a core of soft cushion made for comfort and functionality. Additionally, the interior of the shoe features dual-branded insoles. The new lineup of New Balance x Miu Miu sneakers is available in-store at Miu Miu locations worldwide, and online at Miu Miu’s website until the end of February.

Jacquemus & Nike Are Creating An Air Force 1: First Look

by

French label Jacquemus is teaming up with Nike to create a new version of the iconic Air Force 1. The duo has previously collaborated on two colorways of the Nike Air Humara in 2022. The shoe was included as part of their 15-piece Summer 2022 collection. Now, Jacquemus and Nike will once again design a new sneaker that will surely sell out among both brands’ fan bases.

The Jacquemus brand teased minor details of the shoe via social media yesterday. Revealed thus far are white leather uppers, a mesh tongue, and “JF1” branding on the metallic lace lock. Swoosh-branded leather aglets are also shown. Although there is a minimalistic spin on the classic white Air Force 1, similar elevated materials may or not be used as the Air Humara. These materials include ballistic mesh, premium leather, and buttery suede. Other textiles that can be used to create the sneaker include organic cotton, hemp, and recycled polyester, as befitting to the Jacquemus brand.

The simplistic aesthetic of the shoe allows room for experimentation when styling. It has not been disclosed whether or not the shoe will be released in both men’s and women’s sizes. For those who are thinking about copping regardless, the shoe is perfectly made for both menswear, and womenswear looks. The shoe is primarily white, so a bright contrasting color scheme would go flawlessly with the “JF1”. This announcement comes after the release date of Nike’s high-profile luxury Air Force 1 collaboration with Tiffany & Co. The shoe is set to arrive on March 7th. This collaboration did not sit well with fans of the beloved shoe and left many dissatisfied.

In terms of price point, the Jacquemus X Nike Air Humara retailed for $170. It is possible that the shoe can be around or right at that number. Although we do not have a release date for the sneaker yet, we can assume that the shoe will be a part of a Spring/Summer collection. The shoe may also be presented during an upcoming fashion week showcase. The question is, what is next for the duo? Perhaps a line of accessories and clothing adorned with signature Jacquemus touches a Nike swoosh to seal the deal.
