Nike takes center stage in the opening week of July with a slew of releases coming your way. Besides the long-awaited Nike Air Max 270 React, we’re also looking at a new colorway for the Air Jordan 1 Mid and a unique reinterpretation of the Air Force 1 silhouette. But given Nike’s penchant for innovation, that isn’t all you can expect. The sportswear giant will also introduce the all-new women’s exclusive Nike ZoomX Vista Grind – a strikingly bold convergence between a modern runner and a classic chunky silhouette. Check out the upcoming releases below.
Air Jordan 1 Mid
July 4
The Air Jordan 1 High may be the star silhouette, but its mid- and low-top siblings aren’t far behind thanks to impressive releases recently. This week, the spotlight is on the Air Jordan 1 Mid, featuring multiple familiar colorways on a single pair of sneakers. Three popular colorways make its way on the uppers of the sneaker – almost identical to the Air Jordan 1 High “What The” Top 3 concoction back in November 2016. The toe box, in particular, will feature the “Royal” colorway, a tinge of the infamous “Bred” around the collar, and a Lakers-inspired purple and gold mix adorning the Swooshes. Cop the best of three colorways in one sneaker through this Air Jordan 1 Mid launching this Thursday, July 4.

Nike ZoomX Vista Grind
July 4
Nike unleashes arguably its wildest model yet, mixing a streamlined, contemporary upper with a futuristic chunky midsole. The women’s exclusive sneaker features trendy neon colors and a DIY-like aesthetic, with outlined Swooshes and midsole cutouts that reveal a neon green inner base constructed of the same recycled foam material as the bulky midsole. The futuristic Nike ZoomX Vista Grind will definitely go down in history as a peculiar albeit appealing silhouette. Cop this for S$265 if you’re looking to step into the future of sneakers.

Nike Air Force 1 “Type”
July 4
Ever since the well-received release of “The Ten” pack – Virgil Abloh’s unprecedented experiment on Nike’s famous silhouettes – the brand has taken it upon itself to deliver iterations that display the same sense of rawness in design. Fresh off the drawing board is the Nike Air Force 1 “Type”, which will hit stores soon. The sneaker features a prototype-like impression with mismatched uppers that combine both the classic leather makeup and synthetic materials. Additional details like the extra mudguard layer on the toe and the heel-strap give the S$195 sneaker a more functional feel that is reminiscent of the popular Air Force 1 Utility model.

Nike introduces a brand new silhouette this week that promises to provide comfort unlike any other. The Nike Air Max 270 React features two of the brand’s recent cushioning innovations – the soft React foam and the springy Air Max 270 Air unit. Coming in a multitude of colorways, the sneaker appeals to both the trendy crowd with its impressive color blocking and also the everyday user with its comfortable midsole combination. At S$229, the sneaker breaks into the market at a relatively affordable price point given its functional form.
