Soccer continues to mark the trends, and Nike is joining in on the movement. While brands like Adidas have already doled out their soccer-inspired footwear, the American athletic company is following suit with its own soccer lifestyle sneakers. Besides taking a major inspiration from the soccer world, the newest Nike design takes a cue from the upcoming fall season with a decadent hue that’s as rich as the falling leaves. With the typical silhouette of the Nike Killshot 2, this new design incorporates added touches that revive features from traditional soccer cleats of the past. Perfectly apt for the upcoming season, the new burgundy shade gives the design an added luxury that elevates this sneaker into more than just another everyday shoe option. 

Nike’s Killshot 2 gets a fall upgrade with a new hue and soccer touch

In its latest Killshot 2 release, Nike has added a brand new autumn-ready hue that elevates the design into a new luxe-inspired piece. Along with a new shade, the Nike Killshot 2 draws inspiration from retro soccer cleats to deliver a trendy option that perfectly aligns with the modern soccer footwear trend. Donning a deep burgundy color, the Killshot 2 features smooth leather uppers with a swoosh logo in the same tone. Borrowing from traditional soccer shoes, a fold-over tongue and embossed Nike logo bring some of the sporty touch to the sneaker. For a slight color contrast, the Nike Killshot 2 also includes soft touches of brown along the upper’s linings. A hidden message can also be found on the insoles, which spell out “N I K E” in Morse code. Dark brown laces rest under the fold-over tongue, a design choice that brings everything together in one cohesive shoe. While this new Nike Killshot 2 has yet to be released, there’s no doubt that it will cause quite a stir once it lands in stores.

Your summer shades are tired, it may be time for an upgrade with KREWE’s expert advice
Accessories, Sunglasses, Face

There are few things better than putting together a great look, checking yourself in the mirror, and then going for that perfect pair of sunglasses to slide on and complete the outfit. Your shades are the completion of a transformation from indoor to outdoor. They are functional in that they protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. And they keep you from getting that annoying headache resulting from squinting all day. But they are also an amazing stylistic opportunity. They can become your statement piece; just ask Elton John if they are simply functional. But how do you select the right sunglasses to upgrade your collection? I was recently in the KREWE store down in the Meatpacking District and discovered that shopping for shades can be more than just scrolling online; it can be an experience unlike other shopping outings. After my experience in the store, I asked KREWE to spread the knowledge for shopping for new shades.

The best sunglasses are the ones you instinctively reach for day after day. But if your current pair is starting to feel a little too familiar, it may be time for an upgrade. – Kate McCabe, Vice President of Brand Marketing, KREWE
