After originally releasing in a solid color blocking back in 1997, the Nike Air Foamposite One has seen a lot of different prints in recent seasons. In the same vein as the Foamposite “Weatherman” and “Thermal Map” iterations comes the Nike Air Foamposite One “Safari.” Completely covered in the classic black and white safari print, black eyelet panels and orange detailing contrasts the greyscale pattern. An icy translucent outsole balances out the design, keeping the focus on the upper. Be on the lookout for word on this upcoming release.
The year 2013 has seen a multitude of apparel designs that are rooted in the reapportioning of large brands, or in other words, flipping logos to make a new and unique design. Well, streetwear imprint Hall of Fame took this literally as it teamed up with headwear giant Mitchell & Ness to create the Hall of Fame x Mitchell & Ness “Upside Down” Headwear Collection. Just as the name says, this range sees upside down team logos from some of the NBA’s most noticeable teams- the Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, Orlando Magic, New York Knicks, and the Miami Heat.Featuring right-side-up team branding on the side panel and the usual Mitchell & Ness imprint on the back of the hat, this range puts a new spin on headwear for the Fall/Winter season.
Stance, the go-to brand for everything that’s cool in socks, drops off some new pieces for the Fall/Winter season. Dubbed the “NBA Legends” collection, stance uses the likeness of some of the NBA’s brightest stars to pay tribute to the ones who built the game as we know it. The sublimated hi-res images reveal in great detail high-flyers Sean Kemp, Dominique Wilkins, Dr. Jay, and legendary big man Patrick Ewing. Printed atop a nice mid-calf sock mad of 100% cotton, the new collection is now available at Wish.
Billionaire Boys Club drops off a crazy new piece for the Fall/Winter season. Creative Director Chris Bevans cooked him up something special by reinterpreting the denim BBC Wolfman moto jacket into a luxe, blacked-out leather version, creating the Billionaire Boys Club Wolfman Leather Moto Jacket. This leather jacket features an embroidered BBC Classic Helmet Logo on the front with chrome zippers seen throughout, contrasting the jacket perfectly. A sound pickup from the 203 Fall/Winter line, the Billionaire Boys Club Wolfman Leather Moto Jacket is now available at Wish.

To further recap the special event that took place last Friday, we put together a video summarizing our A Night with Jordan Brand video. Take a look above to see how the event unfolded.
Nike’s Roshe Run model has become the choice casual shoe for many consumers, which presents a problem for the masses in colder climates. Listening to the pleading, Nike crafted the Nike Roshe Run Sneakerboot which sees its newest colorway released today. The Nike Roshe Run Sneakerboot Black/Dark LDN-Mineral Teal features an upper which sees a mix of suede and a quilted material, in addition to a subtle black Swoosh. While its soft cushioning remains with an orange hue, additional upgrades include boot-styled eyelets, raised ankle padding, as well as a geometric pattern adorning its tongue and heel. A stylish yet functional addition to the Nike family, this release is available now.

In addition to hosting Gemo Wong and Jason Mayden at this past weekend’s A Night with Jordan Brand, Part 2, one of the highlights of the event was also the footwork of those in attendance. Showing full brand support for his airness’s namesake sportswear line, the attendees brought out a plethora of heat from the closet. In addition to a wide variety of Retro’s, LeBron releases and Doerbecher drops, we also caught a rare sighting of the storied Marc Jacobs x Vans Slip-On from years ago. Enjoy the eye candy.
For the Winter season approaching, Stussy decides to extend its iconic imprint across a range of all new beanies. Perfect for the shift from snapbacks to something a bit warmer, this collection of beanies sees simple designs with pom-poms and Stussy 8-balls atop a warm quality knit fabric structure. Carrying the usual Stussy aesthetic while staying completely functional, this range is now available at Wish.
Following a successful recap of the A Night with Jordan Brand Part 2, those that were in attendance for this past weekend’s events were also witnesses to a special 1-of-1 gift that Jason Mayden and Brand Jordan offered to Wish. Building on the all-red Doernbecher 3 Retro iteration, Brand Jordan crafted up a 1-of-1 pair specifically for Wish Atlanta that features a side heel Wish logo embellishment as well as customized lace locks. The right shoe boasts the trademark Wish logo etched in wood, while the left pair features none other than Tinker Hatfield. In addition to the specifically customized pair of DB3’s from Brand Jordan, the Beaverton camp also executed a special white satin dust bag for the shoes.
For Fall/Winter 2013, Nike has aligned a few new classic sneaker models for the ladies. Arriving in a special “Raspberry Red” colorway, both the Air Max 90 and the Dunk Hi Skinny are done up in an amalgam of colors that include prominent Raspberry Red throughout. Threaded laces are seen paired with the Air Max 90, while an all-over print zebra-style motif is seen emblazoned across the full grain leather upper of the Dunk Hi Skinny.

Our “A Night With Jordan Brand” event with Senior Global Design Director Jason Mayden and Director of Energy Footwear Gemo Wong that took place this past Friday night was not only a special night for us here at Wish, but also the city of Atlanta, and all of our supporters. Attendees got more than what they bargained for, as the night was not only about sneakers and fashion, but also about career goals, character building, and life lessons from the Jordan Brand Senior Directors. However, the night consisted of more than just presentations from Mayden and Wong, who after their talks were able to have one-on-one conversations with guests and even critique several creative portfolios. Perhaps the most fascinating part of the night came as ten raffle winners were selected to preview future Jordan Brand models and a select two had the priveledge of designing their own custom pair of Nike i.D. sneakers with Mayden and Wong. With drinks sponsored by Mountain Dew, the night also saw a one-of-a-kind limited sneaker collection by Tennesee native Joseph Privitte, a special appearance by rapper Killer Mike, and a custom pair of Wish Air Jordan 3 Retro Doernbechers.
If you weren’t able to attend, or just want to refresh your memory, take a look at images from the memorable night below:
The “Laney” palette from Jordan isn’t done just yet. The next pair of Jordans to come along sporting the special combo of yellow and blue is the Air Jordan 1 “Laney.” This classic high top basketball sneaker features a bold Varsity Maize upper in tumbled leather that’s layered atop a soft suede Game Royal Blue underlay. A nice addition to the “Laney” range, this release will be made available at Wish soon.
Nike continues the momentum of its Nike Lebron line with the release of the Nike Lebron XI Armory Slate. This shoe pairs the grey hue with Gamma Blue on its Hyperposite upper, with more colorful hits on the tongue logo, Swoosh and lace tips. A lighter shade of Armory Blue also finds a place on the upper and finishes off the outsole tread below. A solid new addition to the Lebron XI family, this sneaker will be available soon at Wish.
In recent seasons, Stampd has definitely come on as the new standard when it comes to producing some nice all-black-everything themed product. This is especially true for the latest headwear releases from the Los Angeles based brand. Both labeled “All Black,” the “Dope” & “Hard Hat” are rooted in the usual black aesthetic, with “Los Angeles” printed under the brim. Nails seemingly drilled into the brim of the “Hard Hat” give it a one-of-a-kind look, as the “Dope” embroirdered logo gives this hat a classic look.
For the newest release of the Nike Air Trainer, Nike decides to extend the domination of the Alabama Crimson Tide into the sneaker game. The new release of the retro trainer, which ironically is traditionally linked with bitter Auburn Tiger rival Bo Jackson, sees a White/Black-Cement Grey-Total Crimson colorway with Alabama-specific details like an elephant-patterned mudguard, the Alabama imprint chenille “A” script at the tongue, and an icy outsole that houses the Alabama logo across the left and right shoes resembling that of the Zoom Vapor receiver gloves. Coming just in time for the Crimson Tide’s showdown with the LSU Tigers, this release will be available soon at Wish.
It hasn’t been long since we introduced the up-and-coming functional streetwear brand ICE COLD NY to our Atlanta storefront. But in the passing time, the New York brand born out of a legitimate need of a cyclist to be seen at night has now become a success story, gaining worldwide renown and pulling off collaborations with some great brands.
For the 2013 Fall/Winter season, we had the pleasure of joining with ICE COLD NY to create a brand new piece for the colder weather. The Wish x ICE COLD NY 3M Windbreaker is a collaborative effort that takes the minimal and reflective elements that have come to be expected from ICE COLD and applies it to a functional windbreaker. With reflective hits along the rim of the hood, wrists, and the respective brand logos across the front and the back, this piece is ready to wear for any serious biker, or casual streetwear connoisseur.
The Wish x ICE COLD NY 3M Windbreaker will be available on the online shop and via our Moreland Ave. location on Wednesday, November 6 at Noon.
For the 2013 Holiday season Staple is gracing us all with a new collection of quality menswear. For this collection, Staple dials down the nature influences in its patterns in favor of a more muted color pallette, featuring minimal monochrome pieces as well as a range of splattered patterns. As usual, Staple keeps things interesting with its choice of materials as this collection even sees a corduroy woven shirt. A great pickup for any Renown Pigeon lover, this collection is now available at Wish.
It seems that the year of 2013 has seen a growing trend of minimal and predominately tonal color blocking. Continuing the trend in a major way is Nike, bringing us the Nike 2013 “The Monotones Vol. 1” Footwear Collection. The range features a graduating spectrum of grey tones from white to dark grey covering Nike Air Force 1, Air Trainer 1, and Air Max 1 models. The Air Force 1 component of the pack is dressed in a matte Cool Grey with a speckled splatter pattern on the heel, laces, and quarter panel while the toe features a shiny carbon fiber motif, matching the other two models. The most neutral of the range is a Silver/Midnight Fog edition of the classic Air Trainer 1 which sees a predominately speckled leather upper and a unique strap-connected mudguard. Finally, the Air Max 1 comes covered in the lightest of the grey tones, sporting a speckled synthetic upper and matching laces. Be on the lookout for the full pack releasing soon at Wish.
