Following a successful and powerful project with Converse, Emory has now teamed up with ASICS for further meaningful storytelling. Two pairs of the ASICS GEL-MC Plus serve as the canvas for the project, which is called “Georgia Red Clay” and is […]

Vault by Vans is no stranger to celebrating the arts and those who live an “Off The Wall” lifestyle. For the footwear and apparel brand’s latest collaboration, Vans linked with UK streetwear label Aries. The female-focused label was founded as a celebration of subcultures and blends streetwear with high-fashion aesthetics. According to Aries founder Sofia […]

Brand: TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist. x Suicoke Season: Fall/Winter 2021 Buy: Suicoke, TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist. for $350 Editor’s Notes: For some reason, whenever I witness the separated piggies of Vibram’s Five Fingers shoe, I feel like Principal Skinner recoiling from a burnt roast. The silhouette of Vibram’s divisive “sneaker” is actually pretty good, it’s just those distinct toes at the […]

A decade ago, it might have seemed crazy to imagine a time in which the sportswear market wasn’t a one-company game. Of course, competitors to Nike have always existed and retained their global presence, but none were as trailblazing as the Swoosh. Fast-forward to 2021, and things have changed drastically. We’ve witnessed Kanye West give […]

It looks like the Summer of sacai is going to carry us well into the new season, given the official announcement of three sacai x Nike LDWaffle collaborations in two colorways apiece. Following Jean Paul Gaultier’s tall take on the silhouette, fragment design, CLOT, and UNDERCOVER are now taking their turns with the remixed retro […]

What is more important? According to Nike’s chief design officer, John Hoke, they go hand in hand, and it’s impossible to choose […]

The dynamic duo's second partnership launches online at the end of August.

On first thought, The Simpsons‘ favorite neighboreeno Ned Flanders is hardly the type you’d peg as a sneakerhead, but let’s remember, this is the same cat who once had Springfield in thrall when he stepped out in a pair of Assassins. Some 30 years on, and Flanders has his own adidas collab. Our verdict? Whisper it, but […]

There are no points for guessing why the Jordan 1 High has dominated the last two years of sneaker releases. Nike is piling resources and time into the silhouette, positioning it as an all-time classic with timeless potential. On the heels of Travis Scott’s latest smash-hit Jordan 1 comes the Jordan 1 High Pollen which […]

A few years back, I noticed a sneaker trend in Scotland and parts of Ireland where nationalists would hack off the Union Jack flag that sits inside the window box of their Reebok classics with a scalpel (or some other sharp apparatus). As an expatriated Brit who has little interest in politics back home these […]

Some artists rewrite the rulebook, making the rise to fame and influence look easy. Travis Scott is one such artist.
