Introducing the latest Saucony colab to hit our shelves, the double release from Los Angeles based lifestyle entity Maybe Tomorrow titled "Better Together"
We teamed up with Local Legends Max and Zoe from That Paper Joint for some sumptuous shots of the new release.
The concept of “Better Together” draws inspiration from one of Aesop’s Fables, “The Tortoise & The Hare”. Staying true to the tale’s running-theme, MAYBE TOMORROW re imagines the story with the notion that no matter if you’re fast or slow, we’re all “Better Together”.
Consisting of the Shadow 6000 'Hare' and the Grid Hurricane 'Tortoise' this drop goes live at midnight 1/12/2022 with remaining pairs available in store the following day.

In 1988, Paul Litchfield sought to create a new standard in performance basketball shoes to maximise support and have the best fit. Using the inflation technology, the Reebok Pump established a benchmark in the industry for best customising fit and support.
You might remember Boston Celtic Dee Brown famously pumping up his Reeboks before doing his “no look” dunk during the Slam Dunk Contest at the NBA All Star Week, February 9, 1991.

Lush materials and intricate details fill the entirety of the shoe from top to bottom. Premium noir green suede wraps the toe while the quarters are layered in Letterman-style wool to keep your 1's and 2's warm and cosy. Space and Time details appear on the lace locks and aglets and if that's not enough, the midsole is covered in mathematical equations. The cherry on top is the glow in the dark outsole so your feet can still pop at night!

Another week inside means more goodies to show off for Thom’s Tuesday Fits so let’s get into it before the iso blues set in. This week I picked up a massive haul of deliveries meaning we’ll be well and truly stacked once we reopen (fingers crossed) in a couple of weeks time. Special shoutout to local homeguys, Genesis.
The Sorcery hood (available in three colours including blue and purple) will be available tonight on their website here. In order to keep it all about the kicks, i’ve gone with a black on black combo. The Continental 80’s are back in-store this time with a lush white/off-white treatment. These are super versatile and will go with practically any gear you throw on, so grab a pair of wild socks to really make them stand out. Go check out our range of Adidas and Stance socks online now.
As per always, be sure to follow us on instagram so you don’t miss out on special releases and all the fresh gear we get in-store.
Peace out.

Keeping it real simple this week, Layered up in some OG goodness I’ve chosen the Adventure Field Half-zip in the Dark Grey Heather and Adventure Tee in Black. On bottom, I’m sporting my favourite Carhartt 5-Pocket pants and some classic Stan Smiths from the mid 2000’s (with the off-white midsole). Finally, to finish off with a kick (pun intended), I’ve thrown on the Adidas Adventure Strap-back Vintage Cap.
Stay cosy Jungle fam.

Welcome back and with this weeks Thom’s Tuesday Stay-In kit I'm keeping it cosy. You may have also seen an earlier post on our Instagram of a brand, Soliela. Their Middle Eastern roots help shine light into Melbourne's streetwear subculture of neighbourhood brands which, since conception, has brought a number of sweet pieces. Check them out here.
Sitting comfy AF today in a very warm Carhartt Chace Hoody and Soliela Shorts. I’m a total sucker for Stance socks, I swear their designs get me every time (Shop some of the styles we got in-store here). Picked Yoda up the moment he landed in store! While they mightn't compliment the wild shoes on my feet, they definitely help them stand out! Finally, Saucony Grid Azura 2000 in the Tiger colour way is a sure heavy hitter and not for the faint-hearted.

Layers of this week’s Thom’s Tuesday Fits include likes of Vans, New Era, Reebok and one of my personal favourites, Carhartt. From top to bottom; Vans ‘Cheers’ or as I like to call it ‘From Where We’d All Rather Be’ Tee in white. On bottom I’ve gone with another pair of camo pants (unlike the Stan Rays from last week, we have these in stock!!) from Carhartt. The ‘Aviation Pant’ has a relaxed cargo fit with an adjustable waist, double layer at the knee and zip fly. Last but not least is the bangers of which of course the whole fit is styled by: Reebok Club C 85 in the original white and green colour way.

'Theseus, in Greek mythology, was the King of Athens and son of the gods. He was asked to enter the labyrinth and kill the Minotaur. He was able to, due to his skills in combat and brute strength, but he still needed to find his way out. His wife, Ariadne had given him a length of twine to help him retrace his steps and exit the labyrinth; without her help, he would have died in the labyrinth. This is where the real inspiration from my brand comes from. That none of us are as strong as all of us. Put simply, in the immortal words of Rick James, it’s about “UNITYYYY”.' - Greg (founder)

From top to bottom, my jungle themed layers consist of a Colza Carhartt WIP Pocket Tee, Ellesse Terazzo Jacket in Kahki Green, Stan Ray Fatigue Pants and a Concrete Jungle Shell Beanie (Sold Out) for a complimenting red pop on top. I love the classic and versatile look of the 70’s Chuck Taylor Highs in what I’ve dubbed as the Brunswick Green colour-way and to complete the fit the New Era and Casio G-shock collaboration on my wrist. I think I’m ready for the Amazon!

]]>Welcome to this weekly visual log dubbed Thom’s Tuesday fit with Thom. Since this one's the first, I’ve decided to go with a timeless blacked-out Melbourn-esque get up including the likes of Adidas Originals, Carhartt, Ellesse, New Era and Stance. I aim to bring you a more exciting way of visualising how you might rock some of the latest and most dopest gear from the closet in-store. This one's for the Adi-heads!
First and Foremost, I’m Thom (pronounced Tom and not Th-om) and was formally adopted into the Concrete Jungle family the beginning of January this year. I’m incredibly passionate about all things hip-hop, photography and of course, Sneakers! As always, big ups to Adam for always giving me his undivided time, support and facilitating ideas in his special little Brunswick dojo.
So, here’s what the Melbourne get up looks like: From top to bottom and to compliment with the whole Adidas theme with a bit of pop, the Atlanta Braves Snapback Cap. I love the red highlights on the navy blue. The 3-stripe crew jumper is a fine winter warmer, but probably not enough to brave the Melbourne winter. so I’ve also added the Ellesse Lombardy DownJacket and (unfortunately sold out) Carhartt 5-pocket pants. On feet and again to break up the black with some red pop, the limited Darth Vador Stance socks and Adidas Originals Superstar Pure in the ‘Tokyo’ colour-way.
Be sure you follow us on instagram @concretejungletrading and online at junglestore.com.au or come in and say hey! We ask that you sanitise on arrival before touching the fresh kicks.

So, what sets this pair from the rest? Firstly, it's all the details including the gel-lyte embroidery, waxed laces and of course, that special, one-of-a-kind split tongue design. Secondly, the gel technology impacts both the rearfoot and forefoot by strategically placing gel where it does the most good.
