Sneaker customizers The Flying Hawk Studio have joined forces with Simple Union to remaster PUMA’s classic Suede with a host of painstaking details. Japanese gardens inspire the “Ukiyo-E Series II,” with the side stripes boasting woodblock print-inspired clouds and wooden bridges, all rendered with rich color. Each pair is unique, with art applied to each model by hand, resulting in subtle differences between the sneakers. To make the shoe slightly more low-key, the illustration-rich false tongue can be removed at the wearer’s bequest.
You can pre-order your own pair of handmade “Ukiyo-E Series II” Suedes on Simple Union’s site until January 8.
With Chinese New Year just around the corner, Pharrell and adidas recently gave the Solar Hu Glide a festive makeover.
The mesh forefoot, lacestay and heel are all coated in vermilion while the midfoot region features a black overlay that expresses a gilded grid pattern. A black sole panel separates the upper from the full-length BOOST sole, which is paired with a contrasting rubber outsole. The gold borders throughout the iteration, while an “adidas” motif on the tongue tab and white “Hu” logos serve to finish off the celebratory model.
Priced at $150 USD, the Pharell x adidas SOLAR HU “Chinese New Year” will be available on adidas.com and at select retailers in the coming weeks.
The basketball-inspired silhouette welcomes a combination of red and gold, a hallmark of the holiday, with a large embroidery that reads “AMBITION” down the center. Additional details include: a scale-like pattern along its knitted upper that likely alludes to the dragon lore; Three Stripes branding can be seen at the forefoot and heel tab; and a white BOOST midsole, which comes encased in a translucent yellow material at the front.
The Pharrell x adidas Crazy BYW “Chinese New Year” is expected to launch in the coming weeks for $250 USD at select adidas retailers and adidas.com. In related news, you can see Derrick Rose debut his newest signature model, the adidas D Rose 10.
Having recently released a Jean-Michel Basquiat themed capsule collection, Off-White™ teased a new “Arrow” sneaker which should be releasing in the near future. Off-White™ posted the preview of the sneaker on its Instagram, showing us two colorways, one in white with a contrasting black arrow along its side, and the other in black with a white arrow running the length of the shoe.
Both shoes appear to be made of suede, with a green heel tab featuring the Off-White™ logo. The prominent Off-White™ zip tie is also present in both colorways of the shoe.
After dropping a Chinese New Year edition of the Nike Air Flightposite Exposed in 2014, a laceless version, the Air Flightposite, resurfaces to welcome the Year of Pig.
A gradual tone of pink and purple that adorns the signature foamposite and the Swoosh contrasts with the black neoprene midfoot. The entire upper is detailed with a triangular-shaped pattern while the black outsole is sprinkled with gold. A celebratory hand graphic at the top of the zipper, which is a common gesture of blessing during the Chinese New Year, rounds off this iteration.
The Nike Air Flightposite will be launched in China on January 10. Stay tuned for more information about the release date in the States.
