Off-White x Air Jordan 5 “Sail” Gets Official Release Date

Virgil Abloh and Nike have been changing the sneaker game with their various Off-White collaborations over the last three years. Fans of these sneakers have been blessed with a ton of releases, although as one can imagine, every single one has been limited which has led to a whole lot of frustration.

The latest of these collabs to surface is the Off-White x Air Jordan 5 in the “Sail” colorway. As the name suggests, we are given a creamy beige upper with some yellow discolorations throughout. From there, the midsole is black with some red highlights on the shark teeth. The tongue has that signature Jordan 5 3M silver that will prove to be reflective depending on the light conditions. This color scheme is the opposite of what fans saw back in February, with the “Metallic Silver” offering.

For those of you who are going to attempt to buy these, they will be dropping as of Thursday, October 29th for $225 USD through the Nike SNKRS App, as well as some retailers. As always, expect these to be extremely limited, resulting in an extra-helping of Ls. Let us know what you think of these, in the comments below.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
