So, I’ve been hyped about the AE1s, and man, the wait for new colorways has been killing me. I got my hands on the first release, and let me tell you, those shoes are something else. But you know how it is, once you get a taste, you just want more. So, I’ve been on the hunt, scouring the internet, hitting up every sneaker forum and blog I could find, just to catch a glimpse of what’s coming next.
First thing I did? I set up alerts. I mean, everywhere. Google Alerts, Twitter notifications, even those annoying email newsletters that usually go straight to spam. I signed up for them all. I was determined not to miss a single drop.
Then came the deep dives into Reddit. Let me tell you, those sneakerhead communities are a goldmine. I spent hours scrolling through threads, reading theories, and checking out blurry leaked photos. It felt like detective work, piecing together clues from cryptic posts and insider whispers.
And the forums? Don’t even get me started. I dusted off some old accounts and started lurking in the shadows, trying to decipher the language of sneaker veterans. There were code names, release dates that turned out to be total guesses, and so much speculation it was hard to know what to believe. It’s tough work man.
Instagram was another rabbit hole. I followed every sneaker account I could find, from the big names to the smaller, independent ones. I analyzed their posts, checked their stories religiously, and even slid into some DMs, trying to get some intel. Most of the time, it was a dead end, but every now and then, I’d get a little nugget of info that kept me going.
I even went old school and checked out some physical stores. You know, those places with actual shoes on display? I talked to the staff, tried to charm them into giving me some inside scoop. Most of the time, they knew as much as I did, but hey, it was worth a shot. And, it felt good to get out of the house and do some real-world investigation.
After all that, here’s what I’ve gathered about the upcoming AE1 colorways:
- “Coral”: This one’s got a bold, vibrant coral hue covering most of the upper. I saw some mock-ups, and it looks like it’s going to be a summer hit. People on the forums are saying it’s inspired by those amazing sunsets we get.
- “White/Black”: Classic, clean, and simple. This colorway is all about that black and white contrast. It’s a safe bet, but sometimes you just need a pair that goes with everything. I’ve heard from a few sources that the quality on this one is top-notch.
- “Stormtrooper”: Man, the name alone gets me excited. From what I’ve seen, it’s a mix of white, black, and gray, with some really cool details that make it stand out. The leaked photos were a bit blurry, but they gave off some serious futuristic vibes.
- “MX Grey”: The name is kinda strange. But the leaked photos made me exciting. It is a new style of colorways. Looks like some colorful paint mixed together. I really expect this one.
So, that’s my journey so far in the hunt for the AE1’s new colorways. It’s been a wild ride, full of ups and downs, but that’s what makes it fun, right? I’ll keep digging, keep searching, and of course, I’ll share whatever I find. Stay tuned, folks!
