STREETWEAR: Stussy Time Travels for 2017 Fall Campaign

         

Instead of shooting fresh ads, Stussy is making the old new again with its 2017 fall campaign. The streetwear stalwart pulled photos that are nearly three decades old from its archive as evidence of its own everlasting legacy. Photographers David Dobson, Michael Miller and Ron Leighton captured the imagery from around the world, showcasing the Stussy Tribe’s borderless impact near and far.
Reminisce through the shots above, and look forward to the Stussy Fall 2017 collection when it hits global chapter stores and stussy.com on August 11.
In the meantime, check out Stussy’s Hypnotize Hearts collaboration, which is available now.

ADIDAS STREETWEAR: Alexander Wang x adidas Originals Season 2

Alexander Wang and adidas Originals teased its second collection earlier in the week and return to reveal the whole drop. The campaign was shot by Juergen Teller and looks to masked cyclists.
Drop 1 will include 27 pieces – each inspired by raving, cycling and New York bike messengers. The color palette’s black and solar yellow accents replicate authentic ’90s moods and Wang’s iconic upside-down adidas logo is branded on each. There’s an AW Onesie, Joggers and new sneakers including the Hike Lo.
The unisex collection drops on August 5 online and in-store at select Alexander Wang locations. Those in New York can get in on the action a little earlier, however. On July 29 at 12:00 p.m. EST, shoppers can order items via a text message chatbot at 917-512-7715 – product codes can be located on wild postings along Greenwich and Clarkson Street.
Orders will then be delivered on 7/31 by bike messengers dressed in the collection.

FASHION: Luke Vicious’ “Era of Terror” Collection Is Made for the Punk Kids

True to the brand’s punk ethos, Luke Vicious has unveiled his latest 2017 fall/winter “Era of Terror” collection. Inspired by a rather bleak outlook on the future, the new range is – as explained by the designer himself – “inspired by both the terror that resides in front of us and the terror that lies ahead and how oblivious we can be to it.” Hallmark to the brand’s aesthetic, the latest program is filled with a selection of distressed pieces and visually arresting graphics on items such as bomber jackets, T-shirts, long-sleeves, denim jackets, crop tops, caps, accessories and more. As with previous collections, each graphic is designed by Luke Vicious.
You can shop the new “Era of Terror” collection now at lukevicious.com.

SNEAKER HEAD: Feast Your Eyes on the Rarest Sneakers From Sneakerness Berlin

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a celebration of global sneaker culture, Sneakerness is a large-scale sneaker convention that happens multiple times a year in different cities across Europe, with buyers, sellers, and traders all coming together to see the best and the brightest in the shoe world. Most recently, sneaker heads flocked to Berlin, where the latest Sneakerness event was held. Attendees were greeted by some of the rarest sneakers on the market from Nike, adidas and Air Jordan.
Scroll through our entire recap of Sneakerness Berlin above, as well as other Sneakerness events this year from Zurich and Amsterdam. In other footwear news, adidas recently unveiled three regional colorways for one of its newest sneakers, the EQT Cushion ADV.

FRESH KICKS:

Following much teasing and a peek at its unique inside-out packaging, the Off-White™ x Air Jordan 1 finally gets a release date. Virgil Abloh‘s highly-sought after kicks are dropping on September 1. The special edition “colorway” has been gifted to a host of celebrities and creatives such as A$AP Rocky, Travis Scott, Ibn Jasper and Don C, who received personalized hand-drawn details on the midsoles by Abloh himself. The iconic silhouette boasts a classic “Chicago” color scheme of black, red and white, and is remixed with deconstructed accents, graphic overlays, an oversized Swoosh, blue and orange stitching, Off-White™ branding throughout, and various words in double quotation marks.
While there’s no word on the official retail price, sources have reported an estimated $350 USD price tag. Stay tuned for more information and let us know if you’ll be copping in the comments below.
In the meantime, have an on-feet look at the highly-anticipated shoes.

 Lillard will see his newest signature shoe debut in two fresh colorways. The first set pays homage to the team Lillard has spent his entire NBA career with this far. Dubbed the “Rip City” colorway, the first sneaker sees the team’s red, white, and black used to decorate the sneaker’s mesh upper. The second “Un-dyed” colorway sports a cleaner look, combining an upper that contains both white and cream elements with a brown gum sole. Both models are constructed with adidas’s signature Bounce cushioning, allowing for better shock absorption and more overall comfort.
With no price point yet announced, both the “Rip City” and the “Un-dyed” colorways of the adidas Dame 4 will be available on October 6 at select adidas retailers. Let us know in the comments which colorway you like best.

The Nike Air VaporMax has made huge waves since its debut last year, with the silhouette utilized in collaboration with the likes of OFF-WHITE, CLOT and COMME des GARÇONS. As teased by Instagram user ggg10278585, this iteration of the VaporMax appears to have a perforated, hard-shelled counter on the heel — which sits below a slightly scaled down swoosh and thicker laces than that of previous releases. But what makes this new colorway unique is the use of two colors in the upper. While the speckled knit of the VaporMax is typically monochromatic, this new release resembles two-tone patterns typically seen in Flyknit Racers. As this is just an early leak, there is not much more information on the sneaker, so stay tuned for more details to come.

After coming in a slew of summer hues, as well as a NEIGHBORHOOD collaboration, the adidas Originals Iniki Runner BOOST gets a shiny new “Goldenrod” colorway. The latest version of the retro runner boasts a nylon mesh and suede upper in rich yellow, which is contrasted with hits of black at the Three Stripes and heel tab. A full-length BOOST midsole adds the modern technology for premium comfort and support, while a black outsole ties together the old-school colorway.
The adidas Originals Iniki BOOST Runner “Goldenrod” is expected to drop later this summer for a retail price of $120 USD. Let us know your thoughts below.
