As seen on Unboxed Issue 55. The Unboxed newsletter covers the most important stories of the week across sneakers, sports, and fashion straight to your inbox on Mondays.

The highly-anticipated OFF-WHITE x Air Jordan 2 collection is almost here. And like most Virgil Abloh creations, awe and scrutiny arose when images of the pair surfaced. From bashing the aged and cracked midsole to questioning Jordan’s signature on the shoe and even dismissing the collection when the $250 price point leaked, the OFF-WHITE x Air Jordan 2 Low caught strays across Instagram, Twitter, and think pieces. Abloh then went across Instagram comments over the last few days addressing the criticism and providing more context and insight into the design process. In addition, Abloh dropped the illustration files and the 3D galleries of both colorways, allowing a more in-depth analysis of his latest creative endeavor.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
