HYPE LIST SEPTEMBER 2022: SNEAKERS AND STREETWEAR

Stellar collabs and the classic keep coming for the month of August. There is something cop-worthy for sneakerheads for this month so look out and get your wallets ready.

Converse x Stussy Chuck 70 “Surfman”

• Release Date: September 1
• Price: $110 (around Php 6,200)

Aside from its multiple collaborations with Nike, Stussy also has collaborations with other brands. Its next one is with Converse, where they dress up the Chuck 70 with hemp uppers and replace the Converse Star logo with a Surfman logo instead. Those details give this Chuck 70 collab a Southern California vibe. There are two colorways to choose from: a simple black one, and a loud pink one.

CLOT x Jordan Delta 2 “Flint”

• Release Date: September 2
• Price: $160 (around Php 9,000)

After working on the Dunk High and the Air Jordan 5 Low, CLOT’s Edison Chen works on a new Jordan silhouette called the Delta 2. His collab pair is called “Flint”, as the new silhouette draws heavy inspiration from the Air Jordan 13 of the same colorway. It’s a fitting tribute with details like 3M material on the textile overlays and white leather on the toe, eyestay, and tongue. Completing the look are the CLOT hangtags and a React midsole.

New Balance 90/60 “Rain Cloud”

• Release Date: September 1
• Price: $140 (around Php 8,000)

New Balance is on a roll, and the 90/60 might be their next hybrid sneaker that will be a hit. Taking inspiration from the brand’s 990 series, the 90/60 fuses elements from the 860 with the sneaker tech from the 990. This upcoming colorway has classic New Balance colors with different shades of grey, along with the use of pigskin suede and mesh for the upper.

Yeezy Boost 350 V2 “Granite”

• Release Date: September 3
• Price: $230 (around Php 13,000)

The Yeezy 350 V2 is not dying down just yet, and this upcoming colorway feels typical Yeezy for its monochrome look. Called “Granite”, this one combines a gray Primeknit upper and a black stripe to complete the look. It’s a simple-looking colorway, and we think that this might be a hit yet again for the silhouette.

Titan x Nike LeBron 19 Low “Beyond the Seas”

• Release Date: September 4 (Titan), September 8 (other retailers)
• Price: $177 (around Php 8,895)

Titan and Nike team up yet again with a special Lebron 19 Low.
