First Look: Shoe Gallery x adidas Consortium Climacool 1 Flight 305

Shoe Gallery partners with adidas to reinterpret the classic Climacool 1 silhouette.

Named ‘Flight 305’, the story begins on Ocean Drive, the long road which runs along the South Beach waterfront, lined with the city’s now iconic art deco buildings. Painted in a variety of pastel shades, by day, these buildings change by nightfall – under the illumination of multicoloured neon signs – colours begin to warp and blend into one another.

These buildings serve as the inspiration behind the silhouette’s dynamic aesthetic, as it flaunts a stealthy black makeover, but in light, and with movement, the shoes’ striking effect is revealed. Beneath the dark outer mesh lies a XENO film membrane that mimics the multi coloured shimmer of snakeskin.

The Shoe Gallery x adidas Consortium Climacool 1 Flight 305 drops on Saturday, 7 January 2017, at selected retailers.

The Latest PUMA x mita Clyde Collaboration Will Make You Want To Drop Dollar Bills

 

PUMA partnered again with mita sneakers, one of the top sneaker boutiques in Tokyo that’s become a mecca for collectors worldwide. Shigeyuki Kunii, the creative director of mita sneakers, selected the classic PUMA Clyde silhouette once again as a follow up to the well-received PUMA Clyde mita ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ released in 2007.

The PUMA Clyde has been established as a sneaker icon since the 70’s. Today the shoe shows no signs of slowing down in popularity constantly refreshed with new colourways and textures. The new iteration is covered in a digital print of dollar bills with Walt Frazier’s portrait. The dollar bill print covers the outside part of the sneakers while the Formstrip is decked out in shiny rhinestones symbolizing the flamboyant lifestyle that the legendary basketball player is also known for. Walt Frazier’s champion New York city team colors are applied to the shoe laces and Formstrip on the inside of the sneaker, blue on the right and orange on the left. The asymmetric design reflects the fame and recognition he has gained throughout his carrier. The insoles are also decorated with the dollar print with a chain link fence motif, a distinct trademark by mita sneakers, along with a customized logo. The tongue is marked with co-op branding that features the mita and PUMA logos.

The PUMA Clyde x mita sneakers drop on Friday, 23 December 2016, and will be exclusively available at PUMA SELECT Bree Street, Cape Town and Braamfontein, Johannesburg.

First Look: adidas Consortium x KITH ASPEN Pack

Throughout 2016, adidas has worked closely with Ronnie Fieg to put together the Aspen Pack.

The first model in the KITH Aspen pack is completely new – it is the first ever UltraBOOST Mid. Fieg's execution extends the original lower silhouette with a snug, sock-like enclosure at the ankle. The upper is cageless with a subtle taped panelling, a nod to the original adidas 3-Stripes branding. Rather than the conventional Primeknit, Fieg's new UltraBOOST Mid is constructed using a thicker space dyed yarn suitable for the winter months. It arrives in a festive multicolor pattern with laces to seamlessly match the upper.

The second model is a more conventional outdoor model. The Response Trail BOOST is fundamentally a trail shoe with a reputation for being tough and functional. Here it gets a lifestyle makeover. Still high on tech it comes equipped with a neoprene collar and a speed lacing system. The sole is a hybrid of exposed BOOST™ and hard-wearing, grippier rubber. Outdoor footwear is currently enjoying a big moment in the cities among sneaker enthusiasts looking for a shoe robust enough withstand the cold, while still providing them with the level of comfort they are accustomed to.

The adidas Consortium x KITH ASPEN Pack will drop on Saturday, 31 December 2016.
