Welcome to our Crep Check of the week, bringing you the hottest cops right now. This week’s releases are pattern-heavy, with a variety of bold prints displayed on very different silhouettes.
Nike never fail with a Jordan release and this week is no different. It’s the Son of Low’s turn for change this time, with a grey, black, red and green colourway used for the “Cool Grey” edition. The shoe holds the classic Jordans’ elephant print in black on the heel and foxing around the toebox, nicely framing a contrasting grey base. The shoe sits on a black and red speckled midsole and infused black and green outsole and is finished with green highlights on the lining.
The shoes are available now at Nike, END and UrbanIndustry for around £129.

Next up we have the Saucony DXN “Lodge Pack”, which comes in two versions, Grey and Camo. The shoes were inspired by the outdoors and the prints pay homage to the homeland of long distance runner, Rod Dixon, New Zealand. Both colourways are constructed from a durable wool upper and feature an off-white midsole and a bright red lining. Both pairs are also finished with a traction-heavy gum sole in order for them to function well on rough terrain.
Rod chose the Camo colourway as a reference to hunting season in NZ’s forests, while the other half of the pack is decorated with a grey, white and beige colourway to remind us of the wooden lodges found in the forests.
They dropped this morning, so grab a pair while you can from END, wellgosh or Urbanindustry for around £89.

We’ll finish this week off with a women’s release, in the form of these beautiful lace Air Max. The Air Max One Lace Ultra couple comes draped in a lace-print upper with a snakeskin-like texture. The shoe also features mono red or black on the toe cap and collar. Interestingly, this is one of a rare group of Nikes where the print covers the swoosh.
The shoes will run from sizes UK 4.5-8 and went on sale this morning for £125 from Nike, Footpatrol and Solebox.
