Three major collaborations in just one week. What a way to end the year. From the coveted Travis Scott collaboration to the hotly-anticipated eBay project, even though 2022 is officially coming to a close, that doesn't mean the sneaker game is ready to take its foot off the pedal. If you see any other pairs that you think should have been on this list, make sure to let us know over on Instagram and don't forget to follow us as well for the best content that the Asian sneaker community has to offer!
Widely regarded by many sneakerheads to be the best Travis Scott x Nike collaboration ever, the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG "Black Phantom" is as stealthy as it gets. Crafted from premium suede and leather throughout, contrast white stitching adds a ton of character to the sneaker. Cactus Jack branding can be found throughout, and of course, you can't talk about this shoe without mentioning the reverse Swoosh that shoots through the lateral sidewall. All of this comes packed within a special edition shoebox that's definitely one for all of the collectors out there.
Even though the Spring and Summer seasons seem very far off at the moment, they'll be back in a blink of an eye, so why not get your rotation ready with the New Balance 550 "Vintage Indigo"? Taking on the American sportswear brand's ever-popular '80s basketball shoe, it's dressed in a creamy leather construction and is accented with pops of baby blue throughout for a look that's sure to turn heads. The iconic "N" logo is finely inlaid across the side panels, and this all sits on top of a crisp midsole that's perfect for whatever fit you decide to throw on.
The story behind the eBay x Nike SB Dunk Low "Sandy Bodecker" is one that is vast and with many layers, but for the sake of simplicity, this is a rehash of one of the most iconic SB Dunks of all time. Painted in the exact same color scheme, there are three transparent sections across the shoe which represent the places where the original pair was cut. This means your sock game better be strong if you want to wear this pair. Other details include a reworked "SB" logo on the tongue and heel and a photo of Nike SB founder Sandy Bodecker, who sadly passed away in 2018, printed across the insoles.
We're getting serious TRON vibes from the adidas NMD S1 "Black Altered Blue." One of the latest colorways to hit the German sportswear company's ever-popular lifestyle shoe, the Nomad boasts an all-black sock-like upper with mesh paneling across the lateral and medial sides. Underfoot, the Boost unit is housed within a chunky midsole that's as comfortable as ever. Accented with light blue hues, it's finished off with a series of Trefoils underneath as a tribute to some of the most iconic adidas silhouettes of the past.
And last but not least, we have Yoon Ahn's AMBUSH x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Game Royal." Dropping just in time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Air Force 1, this pair has been nicknamed Sonic the Hedgehog by many fans. Painted in a bold blue hue, a bold yellow Swoosh shoots through the lateral and medial sidewalls. This vibrant tone extends towards the heel badge and 3D printed dubrae, finalizing the simple yet striking aesthetic.
