MIZUNO SKY MEDAL & WAVE RIDER, THE "WILD NORDIC" PACK
Taking inspiration from the wild and thick underwoods of Northern Europe, Mizuno gives birth to a special pack dubbed "Wild Nordic".
The protagonists of this special release are two iconic silhouettes of the Japanese brand, the Sky Medal and the Wave Rider, which show off two color-schemes inspired by the tundra landscape.
The Sky Medal features a dark upper made of premium suede and nylon mesh completed by the cream outsole with speckled effect.
The Wave Rider shows off a buttery suede with mesh inserts on the upper, while the bulky midsole boasts the Mizuno Wave technology at its core.
If you don't want to miss the chance to put your hands on this special release, you'd better to be quick because the Mizuno "Wild Nordic" pack is already available through selected retailers around the globe bounded to the Japanese brand and on The Sneakers Box marketplace.

COLLABORATIONS
SAUCONY COURAGEOUS MOC x LAPSTONE & HAMMER
For this special project, the Philadelphia based sneaker boutique Lapstone & Hammer has transformed one of Saucony’s heritage running silhouettes, the Courageous, into a brand new model: the Courageous Moc.
The addition of a whip-stitched moc toe is the centerpiece of the design, and the reason this shoe holds the distinction as the first Saucony to be hand stitched in decades. That level of personal care and attention to detail extends through the rest of the model’s construction, which includes a mix of premium silkee and mammoth suedes, and goat and Horween leathers that make up the upper, a calfskin leather lining, a sherpa-lined tongue, a cork and EVA co-molded midsole and a sharktooth ripple gum rubber outsole.
Additional details include Lapstone & Hammer branding on the woven tongue label and insole, while each pair comes with two lace options – rawhide leather and tonal flat waxed cotton – as well as both black and purple lace toggles.
The Courageous Moc “Black Sand" consists of a black suede base with purple and olive embroidered accents, calfskin leather lining and goat and veg-tan leather trim on top of a cork and EVA co-molded midsole and gum rubber ripple outsole.
The Saucony Courageous Moc x Lapstone & Hammer “Black Sand" will be available in limited quantities starting from Friday, May 27, through selected sneaker stores worldwide and, of course, on TheSneakersBox Marketplace.

NIKE SB DUNK LOW PRO "J-PACK", OUT OF THE SHADOW
Nike SB Dunks have been in demand for 2020 due to a lot of collaborations and a lot of hype, but the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro J-Pack release of the “Shadow” colorway is a much-needed addition in a staple color to add your collection as true Dunks lover.
The J-Pack Dunks debuted 15 years ago in 2005 with the “Royal” J-Pack release and are inspired by the color blocking of the Air Jordan 1's. The “Shadow” stays true to its namesake with a mix of soft tumbled leather and lush suede in black and grey throughout the upper.
The Swoosh is grey also, but, wait for it - it’s a buttery suede instead of leather. The upper is encased in black leather and suede, while grey accents continue in the flat, wax laces and so is the outsole. The insole boasts the Zoom Air cushioning system and the shoe is completed by the clean white midsole that gives a little light to the shadows in the upper.
You can find these gems in selected sneaker stores around the globe and on TheSneakersBox Marketplace.
