Trying to cop those limited edition kicks Monogram you’ve been lusting after is hard! They often sell out faster than you can say: ‘I’ve taken another L’. With so many rejections dished out each week, it’s enough to make a sneaker enthusiast weep. But what if you ventured away from those rare, hype, Grail-worthy creps for a second, and instead focussed on those General Release goodies Monogram are just sitting there, ready for the taking.

Let’s be honest, the chances of getting your hands on the Ben & Jerry’s Dunks, Air Max Speed Turf, or Dior x Air Jordans The Nike Blazer Low Joins The Brand s Toasty Collection?
