New York, Tobacco and the new Wales Bonner collab

It's a real mixed bag this week with three brand new items now available, along with a small restock of the lovely New York in beige. Elsewhere, we've added some toned down colours in the form of the ZX 8000 'Faded' and the Tobacco in silver green. The ever popular Wales Bonner collaboration is where we will begin the week though..

adidas X Wales Bonner is back

The adidas X Wales Bonner link up has given us some great trainer releases, which has centred around the Samba and the SL 72. This brown model is the latest version of the SL 72, which is now featuring a mesh upper. Premium leather has been used for the stripes and heel tab.

Silver Green Tobacco

Launching as part of a two-pack with a brown pair, this version of Tobacco is the most recent and is not part of the 'gruen' range. This means proper suede has been used for the upper material, which has plenty of softness. Although they look a bit washed out in the pictures, the colourway really comes to life in hand.

ZX with added fade

Another trainer that looks a little like it's had the colour sucked out of it is this ZX 8000 'Faded', which is designed to show a 'sun faded' effect. There are elements of the famous light blue colourway to this model, as shown by the upper colour and yellow stripes.

And finally.. the last of the New York

Unless they're put back into production soon, this is likely to be the last batch of New York for a little while. The beige and pink model was one of the last colourways produced before they shut the shoe down for the time being. A synthetic upper and webbed Dellinger midsole makes the New York one of the most iconic of the US vintage runners.
