The Formstripe offer another collection of classy offerings of the popular R698. Using the same simple colour blocking across all three pairs, Puma have dressed these subtle sneaks in an Autumn-inspired spattering of high risk red, black and Inca gold respectively. Even though we’re heading for a hot summer here in Australia, these pairs are sure to fit into any wardrobe effortlessly.

Jumpman enthusiasts will be hitting stores for this Air Jordan VII retro that takes inspiration from the famous McDonald’s advertisement featuring MJ and Bird trading increasingly bizarre shots in a game of HORSE. While Bird keeps it old-school with a simple tank top, MJ delves into his wildly diverse wardrobe and picks an insane zig-zag print for his tee and shorts outfit that makes perfect sense for His Airness in the 90s. Combining this print with a predominantly white AJ7 (with a white Raptor 7 sole) upper makes this one of the most extreme AJ7 retros released in recent memory. Get your whole family kitted out in 90’s style at these local stockists.

Following last year’s ‘Sun & Moon’ release, atmos and Puma continue their voyage through the galaxy with the ‘Venus’ Disc Blaze. Much like the previous collaboration, the upper is made of soft suede uppers, this time in a rich ‘Dress Blue’ shade, with gold, blue and white speckles all over the cage area. Sitting on a white/blue midsole that features the one of atmos’ trademark touches, a glow in the dark outsole.

Delayed in Australia, this pair of KD8s (dubbed the ‘Road Game’) was set to debut in KD’s 2015 return against the San Antonio Spurs. Releasing November 15th here in Australia, KD fans down under can belatedly celebrate KD’s return with this new colourway, taking clear inspiration from OKC’s blue road jerseys. Featuring a blue Flyweave upper with orange and black highlights, this all sits on top of an aggressively designed full length Zoom Air sole. Featuring lockdown Flywire in the lacing system, this is sure to be a popular on-court shoe.

After an exclusive release a month ago at their flagship Barcelona store, LimitEDitions is unleashing their ‘Castellers’ Diadora to the rest of the world on November 14. Continuing the trend of their collaborations over the past 12 months, inspiration is taken from their rich Catalonian history, this time the tradition of building human ‘castles.’ Just as crazy as the idea of climbing on top of other humans, the N9000 uses a small farm’s worth of different leathers to construct a striking and unforgettable shoe.
