Didn’t cop the latest hype shoe to sell out the second it hit shelves? Who needs it! In our new series Northern Soles, Toronto sneakerhead Andy Dang (who you may know as @certified on Instagram) gives a rundown of new sneakers in Canada that are criminally slept-on, and which you’ve actually got a chance of grabbing. From some PUMA Suedes honouring the late Nipsey Hussle to an adidas collab with one of Berlin’s hottest streetwear stores, there’s a whole bunch of under-the-radar heat worthy of your attention this month.

The Air Jordan OG was the first Jordan Brand sneaker designed exclusively for women back in 1998. May 24th marked the 2021 debut of the Air Jordan OG in a beautiful “Coconut Milk” colourway. The details on the sneaker like the orange basketball leather accents really stand out and give this hot pair a special look and feel. You can see hints of inspiration taken from the brand’s Air Jordan 13 with the pockmarks on the leather. Unfortunately with this release, if you missed it, you’ll likely have to look on the resell market as the Air Jordan OG “Coconut Milk” was an instant sellout. You can look to grab a pair at the best prices through the Sole Collector app.
