The collaboration between Converse and Italian luxury fashion house Missoni returns, this time in two black and cream colorways, both with a visible embossed red leather tongue to accent. We previewed these back in June, but here’s a closer look. What we couldn’t tell from that first look is the asymmetry of the second pair’s […]
Our love affair with Jeremy Scott’s adidas Originals by Originals “Wings” high top sneaker is a confusing one. While part of me loves them, part of me finds them unbearably garish. Still, they’re impossible to not notice, and now they’re going Glow In the Dark via the 3M treatment they’re given above. It’s nearly impossible […]
Adidas Originals have just created a capsule collection with luxury Japanese boutique Vanquish, and above are our favorite item — their black and silver high tops.

The “Jabba The Hutt” Attitude […]

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 […]
