Since ASICS Tiger's GEL-LYTE III and Hanon are celebrating their 25th Anniversaries, it is only fitting that these long time collaborators have come together to mark the occasion with a new take on the iconic sneaker.

The "Light Night" GEL-LYTE III is inspired by the longest and shortest days of the year, where the effects of these yearly changes are felt the strongest in northern countries like Scotland, where Hanon is based. The collaboration revisits the night skies and astronomical theme from past projects.

Hanon's northerly location and "the gloaming" – also known as twilight, the time before sunrise and after sunset, casts a rich blue hue over the night skies during the summer months. These vibrant shades are the inspiration behind the two-toned colourway of the "Light Night" GEL-LYTE III. The Celtic knot and flame pattern, an ancient symbol associate with the solstice and incorporated into the sneakers design, is also a nod to Hanon's rich Scottish roots.

The EQT #/3F15 pack offers a fearless remastering of the Equipment trainers, billed at the time of its original launch as “only the best for the athlete.”

Taking this brief to heart, adidas has updated these shoes as the EQT #/3F15 with cutting-edge adidas Primeknit and BOOST™ technologies and glow-in-the-dark details—new constructions and new silhouettes built on a classic foundation.

Functional, premium, and subtly branded, the Athleisure pack boasts elegant staples that bridge fashion and street. Here, the EQTs take on refined shades of khaki, black, and grey, again featuring an adidas Primeknit upper and white BOOST midsole and available in low-tops and mids.

Apart from the carefully curated selection of international brands, INVINCIBLE is well-known for its high-profile collaborations. Especially in the footwear segment the Taipei-based retailer has garnered international recognition. With this years’ spotlight on the Superstar, timing and context could not have been better for this first collaborative project as a Consortium partner. For their interpretation of one of adidas’ most iconic silhouettes, INVINCIBLE was offered carte blanche on the archetype of the Superstar, the 80v.

The design inspiration for their shoe can be traced to the style and aesthetics of the indigenous people of Taiwan. Traditional costumes often incorporate a variety of pastels but mainly shades of blue, white and red. These three colors also appear on the shoe in the form of a small row of beads around a fold down collar. A zig-zag patterned edge adds more emphasis to this particular element on the shoe which is a novelty and custom execution for this model. It is also the most characteristic attribute of INVINCIBLE’s re-engineered version of the Superstar. Slightly less visible, but significant nonetheless is the use of fish-skin on the tongue. It is another reference to the Taiwanese heritage, as this material is found on traditional armor used for ceremonial purposes and ritual fights. Further elements such as the embroidered three stripes but also the custom-designed pattern – a mix of tribal elements and logo references – on the insoles provide for an overall hand-crafted feel.

INVINCIBLE have delivered a highly conceptual design that furnishes the classic silhouette of the Superstar with a new, slightly exotic spirit. The Superstar 80v INVINCIBLE is an ambassador for the retailer’s creative enthusiasm as well as for Taiwan and its rich cultural heritage.

The Swiss Alps and its picturesque snow capped mountains might be Switzerland's most notable landmark, but its the turquoise, glacial lakes contained in its boundaries that serves as the inspiration and namesake for an upcoming collaboration between Titolo and Le Coq Sportif.

Dubbed the "Glacial Melt," the shoe is executed on the LCS R1000 and features a turquoise toe and grey body. The toe references the aforementioned lakes which gets its color from rock flour that reflecting in the water while the grey body is a nod to the rock and gravel that surrounds the landscape. Making use of premium, butter soft leathers, this crisp and clean collab has the potential to be a sleeper hit.

The combination of turquoise, gray and anthracite represents the Swiss alpine lakes. You’ll get this kind of natural setting directly printed on your insoles (see last picture). On the inner side of the foot, the “LCS” logo is replaced by a mountain flower. We guess that this is an Edelweiss, often used as the Switzerland’s emblem. Lastly, note that three sets of laces are provided, one grey flat type and two rope type with 3M.

Hanon and Puma are proud to come together for the release of the Adventurer Pack

The Adventurer pack references to Hanon early beginnings in the 90’s when they would travel overseas to hunt out rare and vintage sneakers to sell through the store.
Hanon is focused on telling their backstory story through their collaborative editions of the XT2+ and XS850.

Hanon’s take on the two Puma retro runners has a deconstructed vibe, stripping the usual TPU panels for premium leather.

The Hanon edition XS850 takes shape in nubuck, trading between blue and grey. The design is meant to reference the Toft Brothers origins in the arena of skate culture, styling its standard Keep on Burnin’ flame logo with cross bones.

The Hanon crew have familial ties to the States and have used visits as an opportunity to hunt for kicks. The shop’s edition of the XT2+ is influenced by these past sneaker treks…

Adventurer edition of the XT2 is inspired by the early days travelling overseas, from the winter gloom in Scotland to the sunshine warmth of California. Executed in a lush pig suede application, the colours reference the stark contrast in weather whilst a ‘memories’ print is featured on the lining.

In 2005 Pharrell Williams set his sights on the world of sneakers and launched footwear label ‘Ice Cream’. The look: A repeat pattern of diamonds and dollar signs was quickly championed by street style devotees worldwide, mere months later his ‘Billionaire Boys Club’ brand was embraced by all or at least those fast enough to track it down before it sold out.

A decade on, Pharrell Williams and adidas are reactivating the DNA of the shoe that singled the start of this phenomenon in the guise of a tribute to the iconic Stan Smith model.

This new reworking of the world’s greatest and most recognizable tennis shoe features a carefully considered material mix of smooth pony hair with a detailed repeat print of the original ‘diamonds and dollar signs’ Ice Cream branding on the upper and a soft full leather tongue and lining.

Beyond this the shoe has a very rare feature: the original ‘Helmet Head’ Billionaire Boys Club logo is placed on the tongue – a space usually reserved for the portrait of Mr. Stan Smith. In addition this model has a tinted translucent midsole and a de-bossed ‘Floating B’ logo on the heel tab.

Available in two colorways this latest Stan Smith designed by Pharrell Williams is completed by three sets of laces and a foot bed featuring anatomical artwork. Finally it comes presented in unique Billionaire Boys Club and adidas Originals co-branded packaging.

The latest instalment in Adidas' highly-anticipated Kanye West designed footwear series is fast approaching with the ‘Moonrock’ edition of the Yeezy Boost 350 releasing Saturday November 14th.

Renowned Italian Sportswear Diadora return with yet more OG goodness, fresh out of Italy as part of their exclusive ‘Espresso’ Collection. This season sees Diadora delve into the 1990 catalogue and bring back a one to one reissue of the V7000.

‘Italian brand Diadora presents the V7000 OG “Espresso Ristretto,” an original running model from the Diadora archive and straight from the original 1990 catalog. Keeping in line with the brand’s heritage, the “Espresso Ristretto” is completely made in Italy in the Montebelluna shoe district Caerano di San Marco. The original construction and materials are used throughout, including the double density EVA called D.D Lite on the midsole.

Crep Protect is collaborating with legendary sneaker customizer Mark Ong ‘SBTG – Sabotage’ and together they released the ‘’Defence’’ pack. SBTG is known for his outrageous customs, using a lot of military-like designs. The collaboration with Crep Protect is characterized by another military concept which includes an exclusive Crep Protect can encased within a wooden ammunitions box.

OVERKILL has a long-standing history and very special relationship with the adidas Equipment. Back in 2010 the shop hosted an exhibition in celebration of the Equipment Support Runner’s 20th anniversary. The first re-issue, as well as many of the subsequent editions, turned out to be especially popular among OVERKILL’s loyal customer base. Thus, picking the Racing 93, another icon from the Equipment family, for their first collaborative project with adidas was an easy, an almost obvious choice.

The Racing 93 by itself is an eye-catching silhouette with an accentuated lacing system that acts as external stabilizer. Instead of blending it in subtly with the overall appearance of their model, OVERKILL emphasized this element even further. By setting it in black/reflective-grey they created a stark contrast to the shoe’s beige-colored nylon upper. This main tint is a direct reference to the standardized finish on German Taxis. As the preferred method of transportation they play an integral role in offering a comfortable commute through Berlin’s bustling nightlife, even more so during the colder months lying ahead.

Looking closer at the details such as the grey speckled sole, the red highlight on the heel and the yellow tag on the tongue, it becomes obvious that OVERKILL managed to deliver a complete picture for their homage: grey tarmac, red tail-light, and yellow Taxi sign on top. The finish is as premium and well-balanced as expected on this shoe. Soft black leather, another contrasting detail, is used for the liner while beige suede on toecap and heel as well as tonal laces round off this execution.

Undefeated are as LA as they come and so is the first of their two upcoming collaborations with NikeLab. The Undefeated x NikeLab Cortez SP is a tribute to LA street culture with the blue in the colour way a definite nod to the LA Dodgers, with the “L” and “A” debossing on the heels highlighting that connect even further.

Using premium suede and high-grade nylon on the uppers, pebble leather and a custom leather footbed the Cortez SP is coupled with subtle detailing like the “Por Vida” (for life) on the laces, the “Undefeated” script on the metal dubres and the signature five-strike logo on the insole are just the kind of features you’d expect from a collaboration of this calibre.
