Boasting Summit White uppers that are true to the original model, the pack sees one pair with Laser Crimson and Magenta accents while the other dons Metallic Gold and Bright Concord.

Just in time for the upcoming holiday season, the fabulous people over at Publish are releasing an extensive holiday collection. Dubbed “Modern Day Shakespeare,” the range explores the idea of reinventing the new man and explores a multitude of new materials and textures for this purpose. A nice example from this collection is the “Trouski,” a classic jogger pant updated with beautiful herringbone wool, available in light grey and heavy flecked charcoal black. The custom reptile scale pattern in copper brown or dark slate is a staple for the collection, presenting itself in an M-65 style jacket, a pair of cuffed joggers, the pockets of two plain tees, and 5-panel strap back caps. This excellent assortment of pieces is now available at Wish.
Atlanta’s own Two9 will be stocking their official apparel at Wish starting this Thursday, November 21. Until then, to hold you over, here’s a short video showcasing some of the product that will be available with the upcoming drop.
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.

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.

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.
