Jordan brand is taking inspiration from the Air Jordan 2 “Candy” Pack by releasing a similarly themed Jordan Phase 23 collection this June. This brightly colored foursome is seen here in yellow, green, blue and red colorways with hints of black and white on the sole, tongue, inner liner, and branding. A speckled pattern can also be seen on the ankle strap. All four pairs use a combination of suede and leather for a great overall performance based basketball sneaker.

Yesterday, a Japanese collaboration with “workboot” flare was revealed. The ANDSUNS x Hectic x Mita x New Balance MT580 features a dark red leather upper, off white soles and yellow cord laces, which is a look Nike has applied to a number of AF1s over the past two years. This caused us to wonder which looks our readers prefer. This edition of Sneaker Showdown sees the MT580 face off with 2010′s Team Red Air Force 1 High. Which do you like better?

Nike ACG Air Moc LT

Nike has brought back the Air Moc this summer in new, never-before-seen material makeup. This version, dubbed the Nike ACG Air Moc LT, features a highly-detailed woven upper with contrasting materials. It is definitely a new look for the slip-on sneaker as we’ve usually seen the upper composed of a one-piece material. The pair is finished off with the use of a grey heel tab and white midsole. Check out more photos below.
