Jordan Brand pays tribute to their iconic first model by way of the Alpha Air Jordan I. The reworked model doesn’t go too crazy with the updates and thats probably a good thing since by sticking to the old script they don’t change what we love about the shoe that much. The sole is given a Zoom Air upgrade while the upper benefits from the use of an overlay to smooth the whole design out and remove most of the stitches. Slated for release in four color ways surely there’s one in there that wets your whistle. So now is the time for the voice of the people to be heard, KOF readers what do YOU think? Via SoleCollector

As the shoe is released in November, we figured we had to do a Fall/Winter sneaker that will keep you dry and warm.

While Fila might not exactly be taking the footwear game by storm these days, some of us remember a time when the brand was putting out some of the freshest gear around. Back in the eighties and early nineties, Fila was a streetwear favorite long before the term “streetwear” really even existed.

Recently the brand decided to bring back some of their classic styles in traditional OG color schemes, along with some matching apparel that really stirs up the Fila nostalgia. In addition to classic sneaker models like the Original Classic Tennis and Fitness, Fila has also come correct with some fresh gear that also throws it back to the good old days. Keep reading after the jump to take a look a look at the Fila Classics line featuring multiple colorways of two different sneaker models, bubble jackets and vests, and of course, those extra-dope velour sweatsuits.
