AIR JORDAN 4 RETRO 'PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN'
Teaming up once again with the famed Parisian Football Club - 'Paris Saint-Germain', Jordan Brand unveils their latest reinterpretation of the Air Jordan 4 Retro. Rather than opting to utilize PSG's traditional red, white, and blue motifs seen on previous collaborations, Jordan and the French FC opt for a clean white and 'Bordeaux' burgundy, a palette no-less Parisian.
The all-new AJ4, minimalist in its design and color-blocking, features details unique to this rare 'PSG' iteration. A white leather upper sees contrasting blacks on the midsole, eye-stay straps, tongue tag, heel stamp, and underneath the mesh midfoot caging, while the deep 'Bordeaux' color contrasts the sneaker on the eye-stays, heel, and midsole. Attached to the forefoot of the toebox surround, is a small tag displaying the word 'PANAME' - a surname for Paris, the city of love. A large rubber heel stamp sees co-branding from both collaborators. Finally, the sneakers are finished off with a custom packaging - consisting of a Paris Saint-Germain branded box, with custom paper, and a 'grassy' graphic lining, inspired by the football pitch.

CONVERSE x GOLF LE FLEUR* GIANNO SUEDE - LAVENDER / EVERGREEN
A bold new creation from Tyler the Creator and Converse, the Gianno silhouette is the latest to enter the GOLF le FLEUR* line-up. For many, anything outside of the Chuck Taylor All-Star does not look outwardly 'Converse', however, much of Converse's DNA and heritage was drawn upon to create the all-new Gianno. Drawing inspiration from Hiking, Skateboarding, BMX, and Basketball, the Gianno's chunky profile and outsole were designed for more than just aesthetics.
Seen here in two new colors - a washed-pastel Lavender purple, as well as a stark Evergreen, the GOLF Gianno sits atop a chunky off-white rubber outsole, with lots of tread throughout. An almost entirely suede upper on the Gianno sees a white gridded rubber panel on the heel, as well as supporting eye-stay straps securing the unique lacing system. The tonal sneakers are finished off with hits of reflective 3M piping throughout, and the GOLF le FLEUR* flower logo on the side panel, tongue, and on the insole.
Release Info: The Converse x GOLF le FLEUR* Gianno Suede releases 10:00AM (PST) - Oct 15th.
