A Closer Look at the Sneakers from the Blindfolded Challenge
Read about the Sneakers featured in Dean and Fabrice's Youtube challenge; Guess the Sneaker Blindfolded
New Balance 327 Navy
Relatively new to the sneaker market. New Balances’ 327 model has been one of the stand out styles of last year. For some it’s a love-hate relationship with this sneaker whilst for others the more you see it the more it grows on you. The New Balance 327 Navy is constructed from a mix of materials including leather underlays and suede overlays. The large N logo is featured on the side of the sneaker in a navy colourway.
Yeezy 500 Salt
For many the 500 Silhouette from Yeezy was a least favourite compared to 350 & 700 models, however over the years the Yeezy 500 has seen a rise in popularity. Kanye has yet again managed to set new trends in the streetwear scene. This Yeezy 500 ‘Salt’ is presented in a shade of light blue whilst delivering comfort with durable cushioning. Premium furry suede materials are used giving that light weight feel
Jordan 1 High University Blue (Toddler)
Michael Jordan played at the University of North Carolina before being drafted to the NBA in 1984 as the 3rd overall pick. The Jordan 1 High University Blue, hence “UNC” as well as previous UNC colourways pay tribute to this. The Jordan 1 High University Blue is composed of a white and black tumbled leather upper with University Blue overlays. A Nike Air label is positioned on the tongue whilst an Air Jordan Wings Logo is displayed on the ankle. A white midsole and University Blue outsole completes this Jordan 1. It was also available in a full family size run including Toddler sizes.
Jordan 1 High Bred Patent
The iconic black and red on Jordan 1s has made its way to the Jordan 1 High Bred Patent. Patent leather makes up most of the sneaker with Nike Air on the tongue. Whilst this patent leather may be a deal-breaker for some, for others it’s a refresh to their collection since the last bred high release in 2016. Not only is a Jumpan hang tag in gloss red included, but extra red laces and the word “Family” is stitched on the inside of the sneaker.
Jordan 4 Red Thunders
Based on the Yellow Thunder released in 2006, the Air Jordan 4 Red Thunder features a black nubuck material for the upper mixed with red accents under the midfoot mesh and tongue, midsole detail, and eyelets, too. A vibrant red midsole and Jumpman heel tab completes the retro design.
New Balance 550 White Green
As seen with the trends of the 550 model from new balance recently, the New Balance 550 White Green is one of the most popular colourways out there. The white leather upper is complemented with clean-cut overlays in forest green. A grey suede toe wrap is also used. A New Balance Basketball woven tongue label and matching sole completes the design of the sneaker.
