LADIES FRESH KICKS:

adidas Originals’ Superstar 80s silhouette will forever be one of the most iconic from Three Stripes. Now the classic is even more golden — thanks to a bespoke spin by BEAUTY & YOUTH. The Japanese retailer made subtle changes, adding hits of gold in the tongue branding and heel. Otherwise, it’s the clean, all-white sneaker we know and love that’s casted in leather with a shell-toe and rubber sole.
Check out the BEAUTY & YOUTH x adidas Originals Superstar 80s above. Though the pre-order is already sold out, the shoe will officially drop at UNITED ARROWS for $150 USD on February 14.


Yesterday we covered the Vans Old Skool Zip in “Mint” and “Wind Chime” and return now to do the same with the Sk8-Hi Zip iterations.
Both colors are so light it’s easy to mistaken as white sneakers, but look closely and you’ll notice a delicate upper shaded in demure pastels. Premium leather on the upper and a white midsole are completed by a silver zipper on the rear.
Shop “Mint” and “Wind Chime” in select stockists including Titolo at approximately $120 USD.

Hot on the heels of its release of a pastel-perfect “Ice Purple” Stan Smith, adidas Originals now returns with a Stan Smith Leather Sock that is practically seamless. Available in either a “Trace Cargo” or “White” colorway, the silhouette is constructed with smooth nubuck leather. Since the material is much thinner than what you’d find on a classic Stan Smith trainer, the fit appears comparatively more refined when worn on-foot.
You can shop both versions of the Stan Smith Leather Sock now at select retailers such as Livestock.

After working on several collaborations together, Opening Ceremony and Vans have linked up again this season for another monochromatic collection.
Dubbed the “Passion Pack,” the unisex range includes two of the skate brand’s iconic silhouettes, including the Old Skool LX and the Sk8-Hi LX. Both pairs come in red and a beautiful lilac shade, while the Sk8-Hi LX sees an additional yellow colorway. Rounding off the collection is the OG Style #23 LX, which features a premium leather upper in white, and is finished with three hook-and-loop straps. Browse the gallery above to see it for yourself.
Retailing between $110 USD and $120 USD, you can now shop the OC x Vans “Passion Pack” online.


Last month, we had our first look at PUMA Basket Heart‘s cousin, the new Basket Strap in “Puma White.” Now, the iconic sneaker brand has rolled out another women’s exclusive colorway for its latest silhouette.
Dubbed “Natural Vachetta,” the low-top shoe sees a neutral, beige upper with a unique “Exotic Skin” texture. Color-matching leather straps are employed, while metallic gold accents can be seen on the eyelets. All these sit atop a clean, white midsole.
Retailing at €116.91 EUR (approximately $130 USD), you can now pick up this spring-ready pair at select PUMA stockists, such as Titolo.
