The Vans Era is an unmistakable silhouette deep rooted in skate and surf culture. It's a true classic in any way you look at it. Although we've seen a myriad of make-ups since it's inception, somehow the brand seem to constantly re-invent it generating new relevance and appeal. This particular colourway features an exciting over-spray print giving the appearance of a paint flecked upper. As usual the whole affair sits on top of a sturdy vulcanised sole.
Jeremy Scott's 'Wings' silhouette is one of the most iconic models ever. Considering adidas' extensive back catalogue the continued and unparelled success of them speaks volumes. From marbles to see through vinyl uppers, we thought we'd seen it all, until we seen these. Paying homage to the momentous occasion of Chinese New Year they have been produced with the help of renowned Asian entertainer, Eason Chan. Neither party seems to have held back with this one and it's a throroughly premium affair utilising an emboridered silk upper. All of this craziness is somewhat reigned in as we reach the sole which is in essence classic adidas, making use of their basketball shoe experience.
The Converse Chuck Taylor is an iconic silhouette and one we dare say needs no introduction. It's a shoe we've come to know and love but we still get excited at the prospect of all new renditions, like this one for Spring & Summer '13. Staying true to the shoe's roots Converse have kept the materials exactly the same but have treated it to a rigorous washing process which has left a vintage effect running throughout. This gives an authentic vintage feel that seems to compliment the shoe, only serving to increase it's appeal.
Jeremy Scott keeps it off the wall with these works of art, utilising a holographic upper on top of a glitter containing sole. The 'Wings' silhouette will go down in history and if there's any rendition that will be remembered it's likely to be this one. Bold and brash in aesthetic but offering comfort at the same time, these combine both form and function, another smash hit Jeremy Scott can be proud of. Finished with the infamous wings which are also removable.
In our humble opinion Jack Purcell can't be praised enough. Not only was he a fantastic badminton player but he also designed a cracking pair of shoes that we don't know where we would be without. This particular model is crafted from a washed canvas printed with a muted floral pattern and of course sits on top of the traditionalvulcanised sole. It's a modern day classic and ashoe thats always smiling.
We've always been in awe of Jeremy Scott's zany sense of design but even so, these surprised even ourselves. This particular silhouette sees a camo adorned teddy bear on top of a sturdy adidas basketball sole. The sole seems to be the only sign of restraint though as the upper is perhaps as crazy as they come. The design doesn't stop at the fluffy teddy bear though as the little mascot is finished off with a mini adidas baseball cap. As we hope you can appreciate with this release numbers are low and demand is high.
The adidas Marathon 85 is nothing short of a classic. It was one of the original Marathon trainers and one that shaped the future of the series with it's pioneering foam midsole. In addition to being ahead of it's time in the 80s it's also aged impeccably well making it to 2013 arguably looking better than ever. This particular model fuses soft suede and leather accents on top of the original sole.
Upper: Suede & Leather
