We’ve clowned on the adidas vs Star Wars collection before (remember the Hoth Superskates?), and this is no exception. The latest in the adidas Originals x Star Wars Fall/Winter 2010 Collection is modeled ostensibly after the most famous giant talking piece of feces in Science Fiction History, Jabba the Hutt. The “Jabba The Hutt” Attitude […]
I’m not sure which I’d wear more, but I think I prefer these Conductor Hi “Super Death Star” Stormtrooper sneakers over the Jabba the Hutt Attitude His above. Not that they’re any less ostentatious, but the black colorway makes them significantly more wearable than emerald green. Another edition in the collaboration between adidas Originals and […]
Parisian luxury house Lanvin have taken two traditional boot shapes and given them the subtle sneaker treatment for their 2011 Spring/Summer Collection. GQ gives us the first look of Lanvin’s chukka above, constructed of a slightly stressed woven upper. There’s also a hiking boot-looking high-top sneaker after the Jump, both styles sharing what head designer […]
As can be expected by his past shoes for his Adidas Originals by Originals Collection, Jeremy Scott’s latest creation continues the over-the-top aesthetics for Fall/Winter 2010. The new Leather Wings 2.0 white and black high top sneakers feature exaggerated Hermes-like (the god, not the luxury brand) wings that flare from the heel (instead of, say, […]

Colorwise Givenchy’s keeping it simple and stark, using mostly dark greys, black and white, with a couple incorporating velcro strapping. Would love to get my hands on some of these, but knowing it’s Givenchy […]
The Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2010 Sneaker collection has been revealed to the masses. The designer has stuck with the traditional hi-top sneaker shape, but as should be expected embraced a variety of materials, colors and stylistic elements to make things interesting. Naturally the collection has a solid use of leather, but there’s more textural elements […]
Converse has some new editions to their CONS Chuck Taylor Skate line for Spring/Summer 2010. The CTS Hi’s come in a white/black or gray/red colorways and stay true to the classic Chuck’s basic design, but are constructed out of perforated leather — simply beautiful. There seems to be a touch of ruching on the back […]
These Giuliano Fujiwara hi-tops from their Spring/Summer 2010 collection are being released for sale later this month and come in two colorways: brown and black/white/gray. Incorporating a velcro-strap on the upper, these Japanese shoes feature an extremely modern, geometric look. The Fujiwara hi-tops may not be for everyone, but they will certainly turn heads — […]
