    This triple collaboration features a New Era 59Fifty Fitted Cap and a New Balance M1700, inspired by elements from famous Barcelona architect Antoni Gaudi.

    Adidas Originals Grün Collection

    As the world continues to “go green,” we are seeing many eco-friendly shoes come out. Being environmentally friendly in production and using recycled materials has become a priority for many shoe makers in recent years.

    The Adidas Originals Grün Collection was created with these standards in mind. With three guiding elements of “Made From”, “Recycled” and “Reground”, Adidas Grün offers a range of products, including classic silhouettes like the Forum basketball sneaker and the ZX 500 runner, all made from recycled and natural materials.

    Several different Adidas models are now available from the Grün Collection. Anyone who is interested in protecting the environment can do their part and buy these shoes.

  • Visvim and Sophnet Collaborate on Kiefer Hi
    By on February 24th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    Japanese fashion label Sophnet and Japanese shoe company Visvim have gone into the shoe laboratory to create special colorways for the Kiefer Hi. This casual hi-top shoe is available in gold and silver colorways that make the wearer look as rich as they feel. The paint is applied to make the Kiefer Hi look like it was dipped in actual gold and silver instead of using a pure (if fake-looking) metallic color.

    I am not a huge fan of this Visvim/Sophnet collaboration. The shoes are too plain and old-fashioned on their own to make a cosmetic change attractive for the high asking price. The use of a zipper along the length of the hi-top is too little, too late once you endure the indulgent colors on the rest of the shoe.

    The Kiefer Hi is available in Italy right now though they will make their way to other markets in the near future. A look at other Visvim offerings will show you that this brand has more to offer than glittering gold and shiny silver shoes.

    Reebok Freestyle Worldtour Collection

    Celebrating fun, ambitious women from around the world, Reebok debuts the Freestyle World Tour Collection. The Collection features a fully integrated footwear and apparel line inspired by the world’s most glamorous and fashion-forward cities – Tokyo, Paris, New Delhi, Madrid, London and NYC.

    “The Freestyle is truly iconic because it represents Reebok’s history as the brand that started the women’s high-top fashion trend,” said Grace Pardy, Reebok’s Head of Lifestyle Marketing. “Back in the ‘80’s, the women who wore Freestyles were courageous and not afraid to take risks. Today, we have evoked that same pioneering spirit through our new campaign. The women Reebok chose to star in it make their own rules — truly embodying the word ‘Freestyle.’ Each celebrity has a distinctly unique story to tell and the cultures of the cities they represent are brought to life in our footwear and apparel collection.”

    The Tokyo Freestyle sneaker debuted in February represented by Ai Yasuda, one of Tokyo’s first NFL cheerleaders. The black shoe is highlighted with neon pink and touches of blue.

    The Paris sneaker makes it debut in March and will be represented by French singer/songwriter Yelle. Inspired by the famed French dance “The Can-Can,” the shoe design is very feminine, as it incorporates pink bows and laces into it’s white, red and black colorway.

    The New Delhi kicks will become available in May and will be represented by Bollywood actress Sagarika Ghatge. The Indian-inspired sneakers combine pinks and corals with gold embellishments.

    In July, the Madrid version will be released. This flirty sneaker features a white upper decorated in red roses and highlight in gold. This design takes inspiration from the bright, bold costumes of Flamenco dancers. Spanish model Bimba Bose will represent Madrid.

    This September, during London Fashion Week, the London shoe will debut. This shoe uses traditional English patterns and materials such as houndstooth, herringbone and heavy denim. The Tower of London’s iconic raven is embroidered on the Freestyle’s heel of this simple shoe. The London collection will be represented by the talented DJ Nikki Beatnik.

    The last shoe in the series is New York City, which will debut in November. This sneaker highlights New York’s famous yellow taxi cabs and graphic prints of popular street names and tourist spots. NYC will be represented by actress Sheetal Sheth, who stars in the upcoming film “Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World.”

    Each of the Freestyle shoes will retail for $85. The corresponding apparel collection of hoodies, track jackets, T-shirts and sweatshirts range from $28 to $75.
