Jeremy Scott takes the iconic Rod Laver silhouette and does what he does best — transforming something ultra minimal into the ultra magnetic. The normally crispy white Laver sneaker gets a total overhaul from the LA designer, crafting the entire tennis shoe in a metallic gold reptile print leather that makes it instantly unavoidable. The low-top sneaker […]

The latest adidas Originals sneaker comes off as a bit more reserved for Jeremy Scott, who’s made his famed footwear into everything from psychedelic teddy bears to Totem poles. This latest takes adidas’ Instinct High silhouette and brandishes the exaggerated padded tongue with a bold representation of the British flag, aka the Union Jack, leading to the apt […]

It’s no secret we love our Stan Smiths — we rated them pretty high in our Top 13 Sneakers, Shoes, Boots, High-Tops & Luxury Footwear Of 2013 best-of list.

Every man should own at least one pair of Stan Smiths. No, scratch that — every man, woman and child alive should own a pair of Stan Smiths. In fact, they should have charities where they gift Stan Smiths to Congolese children who don’t have shoes (they really should do that). Along with the Chuck […]

This past June we highlighted the work of Filfury’s Nike Air Max Handguns — a cheeky yet subversive riff on hot button issues such as gun control and sweatshop conditions.
