Jordan 4 Thunder: Recent Retro
Nobody can deny that, in 2023, Jordan 4s are having a resurgence in popularity. The White Cement 3 was one of the biggest stories of the year, and were completely gone from Instagram a week later. Pushed out by the Jordan 4 SB.
What is the history of this sneaker? Well, not all that much. At least, compared to the rest of the line. It wasn’t the first Tinker sneaker. Jordan didn’t win a championship in them. Heck, even their claim to fame, known as “the shot,” was overshadowed by “the last shot.”

New Balance 574 Tokyo Design Studio: Top-Tier Tokyo
For a brand that wraps itself in the American flag so often, New Balance is surprisingly international. A few weeks back we took a look at a couple of Made-in-UK models, but it doesn’t stop there. As you can probably guess by the name of this article, New Balance also has a design studio based in Tokyo, Japan. This studio is tasked with taking classic designs and reworking them to fit Japan’s more fashion-forward look.
