From Foot Patrol –

‘…Footpatrol are proud to present our 25th anniversary of the GEL-LYTE III collaboration with ASICS Tiger..!

Inspired by our Logo – the Gas Mask – a symbol of a time of conflict and struggle for many Britons during the World War II and is also a reminder of when people came together when they needed to the most. We took our logo and the meaning of those times, so we applied these ideas within the shoe, the end result; the Footpatrol x ASICS Tiger GEL-LYTE III ‘Squad’.

The Footpatrol GEL-LYTE III is a premodinately rich olive branch colourway with gold and black accents throughout. The sneaker uses perforated pidskin on the upper and black suede on the interior medial upper. The exterior medial upper has gold reflective back behind the olive coloured suede and features ‘Footpatrol’ written out in gold emboss on the heel counter.

Details include a hairy suede songue and soft sand coloured leather lining. The heel tab has a canvas backing detail and the heel counter is embossed with a gold Footpatrol logo. The logo can be found on the sockliner, while ”Footpatrol GEL-LYTE III” is spelled out in Morse code in the laces to round off the theme…

Moscow retailer FOTT is the next retailer set to take part in a collaborative with the Reebok Ventilator this year. Said to take part in 25 different collaborations this year, let’s take a look at what the Reebok Ventilator ends up looking like this time around.

Considered to be the first group effort between the two parties, FOTT opts to go with an upper that consists of a Paper White/Chalk/College Royal/Mint color scheme. Paper White and Chalk take up the majority of the base of the shoe, while the College Royal and Mint are the colored hits that lively up the look of the sneakers. Those same colorful hits appear on the speckled Hexalite sole unit, thus balancing out the entire look of the shoe. In order to recognize that this Ventilator is a part of a collaborative effort, FOTT branding is placed on the right heel as well as in the purple lace jewels of the sneaker.

BAPE’s younger AAPE diffusion line has once again teamed up with Reebok on a sneaker collaboration. In line with this year’s celebration of the Reebok Ventilator, the Japanese brand also decided to give the retro runner its very own twist. The mostly black upper of the sneaker receives camouflage overlays, as well as reflective panels on the side and the heel. AAPE by A Bathing Ape branding is featured on the side panels, heel and also the insole.

Tech Fleece has been the go-to source of apparel for the stylish and the freakishly fit. That said, the upcoming line of Nike Tech Fleece footwear should be an incredible hit among those who find the cozy-boy life appealing. The Huaraches, Roshe Run, Internationalist, and Cortez are the four silhouettes that will be upholstered with the thin fleece material, with shades of heather grey and black .

The shoe marks the third footwear model launched in the historic, vastly awaited partnership between Kanye West and adidas.

YEEZY BOOST 350 in black features uppers composed of tonal Primeknit: a breakthrough material developed using adidas’ most advanced digital engineering techniques to fit like a second skin. Color-coordinated outsoles leverage adidas BOOST™’s highly responsive properties to offer an unparalleled level of comfort, performance, and style.

The YEEZY BOOST 350 is composed of beautiful yet simple materials in a refined, elegant color palette, speaking to West’s vision for effortless, timeless footwear and apparel. Melding the forward-thinking technologies of adidas with a classic aesthetic, the YEEZY BOOST 350 represents a bold new design ideal.

Inspired by the work of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, Boston-based retailer Bodega continue their longstanding relationship with Reebok by presenting an eye-popping rendition of the classic Ventilator for the silhouette’s 25th anniversary.

Utilising a slew of luxury materials, the classic 90’s runner has been overhauled by the principles of Kusama’s work. The sneaker’s technical uppers invitingly play host to an instantly recognisable polka dot pattern and bold contrast hues working well against neutral greytones on a slew of premium materials such as tumbled leather, jersey cotton and plush suede.

The Ventilator CN is finished off with classic OG decals such as lateral panel branding, classic logo to the tongue and Hexalite branding to the heel panel all sat atop a white speckled midsole and gum sole unit.

Platinum, a brilliant and practically unoxidizable metallic element, is the modern present given to commemorate a 20th wedding anniversary. And although the Air Max 95 is celebrating two decades of industry-leading innovation, rather than matrimony, Nike Sportswear has employed the 78th element’s symbolic hue to embellish an exclusive version of the paradigmatic sneaker.The men´s version inspired by platinum jewellry with many engravings.

Continuing their extensive relationship, Reebok have teamed up with London-based retailer.
Garbstore’s effort with the Ventilator, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2015, is decked out in plush suede in beige and navy tones. Utilising the runner’s technical make-up, the collaborative effort is held together by the use of purple, pink and navy overlays, finished with a dual branded tongue tab.

Originally released in 1983, the Adidas Hamburg Made In Germany pack is a special edition of the iconic Hamburg training shoe made in, you guessed it, Germany! The shoes stay true to their original design and pay homage to Germany’s second biggest city. The pack consists of two luxurious colourways, Navy and Burgundy.

The shoes are constructed from a premium, high grade leather. As you can see from the images, this has been hand crafted my experts to provide a finish which oozes class.
Gold foil “HAMBURG” is also placed on by hand behind the three stripes as a nod to the city once more. Custom insoles depict the pack name and brand with thick red and white stripes which is a tribute to the city’s flag.

On the heel, you’ll find a hand placed metal badge of Hamburg’s castle to complete the Made in Germany pack.
The look is finished off with a set of tonal laces and a signature gum sole unit which featured on the same model back in 1983.

Nike continues to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Air Max 95.

Air Max 95 OG “Neon” will be the first of the Air Max OG’s to hit the shelves. Arguably the most recognizable Nike runner, the 95 features gradient hues of grey throughout the upper with plenty of Neon accenting throughout the tern design. Complete with White on the inner lining and a Black outsole, this sneaker is definitely a must cop for all sneakerheads. The OG is a no frills re-production of a classic and its gonna be hard to pass up for those of you who are even remotely into the Air Max Game.

the Primeknit iteration of the Stan Smith has been celebrated as the perfect shoe for the hotter months; the technical upper is light and breathable while staying true to the original silhouette. This time the Stan Smith has been reimagined with Primeknit technology in an all-white and all-black colorway, both sat on a slightly off-white outersole with the added detail of a reflective heel tab and tongue detailing when the sun hits the shoe’s upper.

The UBIQ x Asics Gel Lyte Speed “Cool Breeze” was inspired by the positive and refreshing vibes we all experience during the summer months. The clear blue skies and rejuvenating feeling when we step into the cool waters of the ocean served as our muse when developing this project. Every time you slip on a pair of the “Cool Breeze,” we want you to remember the tranquil feeling of seeing crystal blue skies, and touching the teal blue waters.

With the thoughts of blue skies and cool oceans driving this project, we wanted to push the envelope when shooting the sneaker. Eventually, after much hesitation, we decided to take to sky in a helicopter ride around the city to put the “Cool Breeze” on display. It’s not everyday someone from UBIQ is courageous enough hang their legs out of a helicopter thousands of feet above the city while snapping a pictures. But the end results were more than desirable.

Once our feet were back on the ground, we moved on to our next location – the Race Street Pier. The pier is the closest boardwalk like make up in the city. It was the ideal place to shoot our next round of pictures. The surrounding waters paired with the Ben Franklin Bridge made for the perfect components to bring out the sneakers blue and aqua colorway.

For our final destination to solidify the “Cool Breeze” as the quintessential summer sneaker, we headed to the beach. In our experiences, the beach is one of the most tranquil environments to take in summer.

The UBIQ x Asics Gel Lyte Speed “Cool Breeze” blends shades of aqua, sky blue, and navy. The shoe features a perforated nubuck toe box, a suede mudguard, heel, and overlay, along with soft leather on the side panel for the classic Asics logo. The speckled midsole is brought together by a three tone outsole. Rounding out the “Cool Breeze” is the UBIQ Star logo on the sky graphic insole.

The adidas Consortium line has long offered a blend of retro looks with performance fit and this Superstar 80 Primeknit continues to build a deeper roster.
