Noon Goons / Vans
Sneakerheads are bombarded with news of upcoming releases on a daily basis. To save you some time from searching each and every site and leak account, we ve taken it upon ourselves to sift through the onslaught and bring you a few noteworthy kicks that have captured our attention.
Today, Noon Goons gives us a look its first footwear collection, as the brand has teamed up with fellow California outfit, Vans, for a three-sneaker release. The collaboration spotlights a trio of iconic Vans silhouettes, each of which is elevated with luxe materials and subtle design details.
Nike‘s signature line was red-hot in the early 2010s an era widely regarded as the second “golden age” of Nike Basketball and one of the most memorable styles was the LeBron 8 “HWC” (short for “Hardwood Classic”). Originally a PE created exclusively for the King, the “HWC” is now set for its first retail release.
The LeBron 8 was LBJ’s first signature silhouette to debut after he’d left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat. Although many success-starved New York Knicks fans may have taken the blue and orange “HWC” colorway to mean LeBron had interest in the Big Apple, it was in fact a callout to the Cavs’ Hardwood Classic jerseys. Uppers are dressed almost entirely in blue, with paneling split between smooth blue suede and recessed synthetic material with a carbon fiber pattern. This entire assemblage is bolstered with Flywire, and a white Swoosh trimmed with orange creeps onto the heel.
