Acne Studios is dropping its latest off-kilter item, this time coming in the form of sneaker roller skates. The Jimmy roller uses the sneaker as a base, adding a set of fully-working skates to the sole to create something entirely different. The custom-made shoe is a limited edition version — coming in two main sneaker colorways — with each sneaker getting two sets of wheels, one a translucent material and the other with colored yellow or black wheels.
The Acne Studios Jimmy derby roller skate comes in at £600 (approximately $785 USD) and is available now from the Acne Studios web store. Unique as they are, the skates are also part of the Diner capsule collection which released yesterday.

After word surfaced that Concepts and New Balance would be revisiting its famed “Kennedy” model from 2011, we now return to provide purchasing hopefuls with a closer look.
The rebooted “Hyannis” has been reconstructed via NB’s Made in USA quality on the 999 silhouette. A nautical aesthetic is presented via its laces and lining, mixing blue and red sea-inspired graphics throughout. Beige, off-white and grey coloring are welcomed into the fold while being hosted on quality suede paneling.
Its new colorway pays respect to the Cape Cod area in which President Kennedy spent a lot of his time and flips the blue heel tab for red while the original “Kennedy” returns to commemorate the sailing culture of his native New England.
Those who missed out on the Concepts x New Balance 999 “Kennedy” launch back in 2011 will have their shot at redemption at this year’s ComplexCon on November 4. The red “Hyannis” will also be exclusively launched there.

Continuing to celebrate the 100th birthday of the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star sneaker, Converse connects with FRAPBOIS and Porter for two new takes on the classic shoe.
For the team-up pair, navy blue and white adorn the All Star 100’s exterior; a unique polka dot and “wave pattern design” add some originality to the piece as well. This new iteration of the All Star doesn’t mess with the original formula too much, but its look stands out just enough to make it a Converse enthusiast’s must-have.
Concerning Converse’s joint effort alongside Porter, Cordura fabric is utilized to give the shoe a premium, high-end build that boasts a “glossy” quality. Adorned with a branded “Porter” tag, the collaborative shoe follows the darker-toned navy blue colorway of the previous FRAPBOIS collaboration; eschewing the more playful look of the aforementioned sneaker, Porter and Converse go for a straightforward, clean slate on the outside of their creation.
You can take a look at Converse’s latest pair of All Star collaborations above, and head on over to the brand’s official website to find out how you can pick up your own pair. This past summer, Converse and GORE-TEX also delivered their own tribute to the All Star.
Previously, Porter teamed up with WTAPS to produce a range of military-inspired bag options.
