adidas Originals has collaborated with Canadian menswear label wings+horns on a brand new collection for SS17, reworking the iconic design language of the German sportswear giant to create a classic sportswear collection that blends traditional tailoring, contemporary fabrics and progressive design into a single visual model.

Inspired by the enduring concept of clothing as a second skin, the collection is a practice of form and function, creating lightweight, weather-ready apparel and footwear with striking visual appeal with credible practical applications, whilst a subdued colour palette of heather greys and blues reference the duality and diversity of the Arctic summer, a world made equally of dark and light, brooding and beautiful.

The collection’s apparel offers a comprehensive take on a classic-meets-contemporary wardrobe, presenting tees, jersey, outerwear, bottoms and accessories with progressive design adjustments. Highlights include the panelled construction of the WH Tee, the WH Patch Crew and WH Patch Tee’s striking geometric graphic motif and the made in Canada WH Pullover Hoodie, Firebird Field Jacket and Sweat Short, presenting the pinnacle of elevated construction techniques. The entire range culminates as a symbiotic relationship between the inimitable adidas archive and the limitless creativity of wings+horns.

Accompanying footwear applies this same philosophy of Progression. The NMD_R2 assumes the visual mode of the collaboration, adorning a Primeknit iteration of the latest generation of NMD with the range’s signature geometric motif alongside a model constructed from a single piece of premium leather, finished with the shoe’s essential technical details.

The result of a co-operative approach to every stage of production, adidas Originals by wings+horns’ SS17 encapsulates the spirit of dichotomy that informs the collection, creating seamless unity of classic and contemporary; light and dark; aesthetic and application; form and function.

The Air VaporMax reignites the Air revolution with completely visible cushioning and a Nike Flyknit upper for the lightest, most flexible Air Max ever. The innovative design eliminates a midsole, allowing your foot to rest directly on air for a buoyant feel underfoot. With the Air VaporMax, the original idea behind Air becomes a reality three decades later.

The Nike VaporMax Pale Grey is a perfect alternative to those of you that missed out on the debut “Pure Platinum” look, as the new shade works perfectly through a monochromatic Flyknit base complete with a contrasting icy blue outsole unit full of visible air.

Commonwealth and ASICS Tiger look to preserve Filipino culture through our latest collaboration on the GEL- Lyte V. Although, having stores in Washington, DC, and Virginia Beach, Commonwealth has looked to its store in Manila, Philippines and the Kalinga to create a sneaker that pays homage to one of the country’s preserved traditions.
The Kalinga are an ethnic group in the Philippines who inhabit the mountains of Luzon. Due to the mountainous terrain and warrior-culture of the people, the Kalinga were able to preserve their culture despite centuries of occupation in the lowlands by the Spaniards, Americans, and the Japanese.

That includes the intricate tribal art of body adornment, drawing on basic geometric shapes and nature-inspired designs. This ancient technique of adornment is called “batok” that dates back a thousand years. These designs were used to communicate with one another for generations. They represented who they were, where they came from, and what they stood for, therein revealing an insight to the people’s philosophy and social standards.

Inspired by that sacred tradition, dubbed the “Kultura” GEL-Lyte V, ASICS Tiger and Commonwealth pay respect in sneaker form. A velvet touch nubuck, premium suede, and breathable mesh upper meets Kalinga inspired art on the s GEL-Lyte V’s signature mono sock-liner, bridging the gap between a reverence for the past and a foot towards the future.

The GEL-Lyte V originally released in 1993 as a marathon sneaker, the “Kultura” represents the need to preserve Filipino culture and traditions as a race that’s worth running.

NikeLab Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 x Arthur Huang was designed by the Taiwanese architect and engineer who co-founded eco-design firm Miniwiz, and also created a colourful web of Flyknit material in a rusting gas tower during Beijing Design Week 2012.

Arthur Huang used only recycled materials to produce the NikeLab Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 FK x Arthur Huang

Honouring the idea of encapsulated innovation, Miniwiz CEO and architect Arthur Huang has created a lightweight package made entirely of post-consumer materials, complementing the Air Max and helping to redefine the possibilities of modern innovation.

For Arthur Huang, the visionary CEO of Miniwiz, Nike Air demonstrates a perfect balance of performance and sustainability. “It cushions while at the same time reducing material usage.”

The equilibrium between responsible manufacture and function forms the backbone of Huang’s NikeLab Air Max Day collaboration. Huang, who is both an architect and structural engineer, has created a lightweight package made entirely of post-consumer materials (milk and orange juice containers, morning coffee lids).

Specifically, the box is produced from a single process Polypropylene with no added chemicals. The modular design allows it to be used as a stackable, interlocking component of a product display or storage system.

“These are all intentional features and qualities which revolve around the intent of every Miniwiz product — reducing the impact on the environment in every way it can,” notes Huang. “In this case, we’re adding features and efficiency to an existing product (shoe boxes) and by re-using non-virgin materials in a sustainable and responsible way.”

The package can also be used as a backpack and, should ideas about other forms of reuse sputter, it can be recycled. Furthermore, the shoe it was built to support, the NikeLab Air Max 1 Royal, a silhouette with its own application of sustainable production: Nike Flyknit.

“We love Flyknit as a technology,” says Huang. “It gives designers a new canvas to create cool, while lowering environmental impact. We want to be associated with that and are glad that we are a part of this revolution.”

It’s a revolution that also perfectly blends aesthetics and renewable materials. “The net result of this tech are some of Nike’s lightest, high performance shoes launched into the market with an infinite possibility of being sexy,” concludes Huang.

Featuring new tooling and materials, the Nike Air Max 1 Flyknit Royal is among the lightest Air Max 1 ever built. Premium, full-grain leather quarter panels float on a Nike Flyknit upper that rests on a cored-out, dual-density foam midsole.

Opening in 2006, Canadian retailer HAVEN starting with physical stores in Vancouver and then Toronto, HAVEN has grown a truly international following. Its extensive online platform combines retail with elevated editorial and investigative features.

HAVEN has used its growing profile to represent life north of the border. While Canada is widely known for its cold winters and expansive wilderness, urban life is different and weather in the cities can be temperamental. Sitting close to the country’s Pacific coast, dark rainclouds loom over Vancouver for much of the year. For months on end, contending with the rain is part and parcel of daily life in the city.

Heavy weather and ominous skies provide the inspiration, a decade’s worth of experience with technical products the underlying know-how for this triple black UltraBOOST. HAVEN – always on point and full of fresh ideas – has opted for an uncaged, unstriped silhouette.

Out of the dark clouds emerges an elegant footwear model, practical in function and technical in appearance. The reflective strands running through the lacing plus the reflective, perforated paneling on the Primeknit upper provide a perfect utilitarian accent to adidas’ nest runner.

Optimal urban camouflage, designed to go almost undetected against slicked city tarmac, brand detailing is kept to a minimum. In absence of the hallmark UltraBOOST cage, this model uses subtle rubberized appliques for understated adidas branding. HAVEN’s name is visible on small leather tabs on the shoes’ tongue.

With every Consortium collaboration adidas look for a high-quality partner who can provide a strong narrative and together we create an outstanding product. HAVEN has found inspiration in an unlikely, but everyday, place and projected that inspiration onto their UltraBOOST with an outstanding result.

New Orleans based Sneaker Politics have teamed up with Humidity, a local skate shop, to produce a special-edition Workout Low CN.

Check out Juvenile in some of the shots below, flossing with the kicks and even mistaking them for a phone.

The NIKE AIR FOOTSCAPE WOVEN CHUKKA QS brings back one of our favourite Footscape variants in a deluxe hairy suede treatment.

The Footscape silhouette has been the recipient of many iterations and colourways since the original design launched back in 1996. The popular Woven edition took the original running shape and gave it a moccasin-styled makeover, appealing to a whole new audience.
The slightly higher cut of the Chukka adds ankle support and comfort, blurring the boundaries between sportswear and more formal footwear. The woven sections around the upper are a smart addition to the shoe, more akin to traditional shoes, whilst the Natural Motion sole unit is functional and lightweight.

The Footscape was often considered a summer shoe, but this new trio of colourways will work throughout the seasons. This is a premium rendition of one of the best running shoe designs ever, featuring natural-toned hairy suede with subtle premium leather detailing.
