One of the perks of working so close to Oxford Circus is the ability to attend daytime press events in the local vicinity during my lunch break. Chyea. Yesterday Nike invited me down to their UK flagship store to design a silhouette add to the NIKEiD on Oxford Circus, Nike Town. Anyone who’s been reading the site will know that I used to be quite the sneakerhead and buying iDs would frequently massacre my bank account. More on the reverse.

December 1st marks the World Aids Day and Nike are teaming up with charity (RED) again by releasing a new collection in red to raise awareness and to inspire action to support the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa. Although Nike have been in controversial sweatshop/fair trade scandals over the years, they’ve definitely cleaned up their act and giving back is always the best answer. They’ve developed a strong tradition of utilising the power of sport to elevate global causes using their sponsored athletes, product and sports events to ignite engagement. The collection features 3 items – A Melton Destroyer (which I think should have been called Peacoat Destroyer for comedy reasons), Cheyenne Backpack and the technical Zoom Meriweather. All of the products stream quality, fine leather, waterproof construction with the Nike x (RED) branding over it. More on the reverse.

It’s drawing ever closer to that time where we share gifts with our loved ones. Now I know Christmas isn’t all about presents and all that jazz but lets face it, in this day and age it’s the first thing that we think about when the word Christmas is brought up. For the next couple of weeks i’ll post things that sit nicely on my wish list for this year, hopefully my mum will read this and take notes. Check out these Louis Vuitton Slalom Sneakers and let me know what y’all think. They retail at close to £600 which I know is excessive for sneakers but if i had the money y’all already know i’d be a mess when buy shoes left right and centre.
Wow. I’m not a sneaker man any more, shoes are my thing but DQM and Vans have managed to combine the qualities and key attributes of a sneaker and shoe to create this wonderful inaugural collaboration collection. The pack features three refreshed colourways of the classic Vans silhouettes – Chukka Decon, Midskool and Era. This Autumn themed pack comes in military green, vegetable tan and oxblood premium leather uppers. The icing on the cake = canvas camouflage interior lining. Not that anyone will ever see it, well unless you visit an Indian family house where its customary to take your shoes off. This collection screams classy, refined and quality – when they drop you can purchase from DQM‘s online store and get them shipped over to my house. Thanks.

We all know footwear is a weakness of mine and i’m pretty sure i’ve expressed my major lack of funds as of late so it will come as no surprise that while I can sit here and write a post about Clae‘s new 2011 Autumn/Winter Collection I sit here writing with a slight heartbreak at the fact that I will not be able to go on a spending spree purchasing some of these designs. So what I would like you all to do is buy a pair of your favourite to make up for my lack of spend power. I’m going to end the post here now because I’m feeling slightly emotional about my current state lol, peep the collection after the jump.
DROOL. Major drool. Recognise the silhouette? Looks familiar doesn’t it. I’m sure luxury shoe brand Feit took inspiration from Nike‘s hi-top blazer sneaker. I’d be lying if I said I’d heard of this brand before, they’re definitely luxury with the price range. £200+ but that the appeal is too much, I want. The brand’s latest Hand Sewn Reconnaissance collection features a Hand Sewn Superclean Low, High and Stitchdown model in three different leather colourways. Each one has been constructed using the brand’s unique building process – all handmade. That’s a rarity, I don’t mind paying that much money for a pair of kicks that are limited. This collection should be available at select retailers worldwide soon.

Oh boy. I was invited down to Nike‘s PR agency a few days ago to photograph these babies for Hypebeast. With the sneaker world still recovering from the seizure caused by the Air Mag unveiling, this beautifully crafted Air Max 1 hyperfuse probably sent many into coma. No joke ting. I haven’t ever worn a pair, nor liked them till I came across the pink pair and now these. Lawd, the hyperfuse technology and minimalist look adds to its overall sneaker sex appeal.
