Luxury Footware

It’s hard to define the term luxury footwear in the sneaker diligence, especially in today’s terms with so many mainstream labels dominating shelf space. In every sneaker purchase we all want that sneaker that has virtues of color, fabric, brand, modishness and street cred.

However, I believe that the varieties and options of sneakers have expanded beyond anyone’s expectations in the passing years. Take for example Common Projects. This collaborated brand between designers Prathan Poopat (whom is also the former art director for Visionaire and V, one of the most limited edition magazines in the world) and Flavio Girolami, are hand made in Italy from premium nappa leather. They come in slick minimalist design with a Maison Martin Margiela’ish logo branding on the heel. These would be a great alternative to your normal Dior Homme or Gucci sneakers.

These shoes cop for a hefty $275usd price tag.

For You - The Prelude

Got my new kicks
And my new shirt
With my fly girl
In her denim skirt
With my pretty lady
She's my darling
So I treat her right
I watch my slang
Cos her ex-man was makin her feel shame
But it's so sick
She still so game
It's just yea, yea she love it over here
It's just yea, yea she love it over here

WMNS Nike Air Max 90: black/black-cerise/pink

Here is a fresh new colourway for the ladies from the Nike Air Max 90 series, featuring a dominant black upper along with pink accents throughout the AM 90. A very nice addition is the patent leather with embedded rainbow chips on the mid-panel area and the gum sole. Available only at select retailers. Cop your pair in time for that special someone ;)

Gucci Spring Summer

You always get a feeling that your taste is changing when high end luxury labels start coming within your shopping concept. Or maybe its just that feeling that I’m getting old. Haha. Does style come with age? Well, I hope so. I was browsing through Gucci’s spring summer shoe collection and came across these pair of suede sneakers. Sleek. Plus they look extraordinarily comfy with the elastic signature web side gore, perforated interlocking G and rubber soled.

Triumvir: Bruce Lee in Jordan 1 Pack T-Shirts

The big question: If Bruce Lee was alive would he have worn the Jordan 1 Retro Pack? I think not. But I could definitely see him in Vans slip-ons doing his kung-fu moves. Then again, those Jordans might give an extra pow to his kicks.

Today Triumvir has released some nice Bruce Lee t-shirts, with him wearing the Jordan 1's. This launch corresponds with the release of the Jordan 1 Retro Pack. This tee originally came out in 2005 and now they enhanced it to match this new release. Matching shoes for matching tees.

Visvim x Original Fake Zahra slip-on WHITE

It’s funny how the 20 years(around that figure) patent law on products has little effect on the shoe industry. We have seen examples like Bapestas and Nike AF1. Then there’s the frenzy on Converse's chucks that every designer seem to conceptualise their “art” on. And here we see the Van’s Slip-Ons. I hold no feeling of resentment or denigration towards this move. Instead, I believe it creates diversity and pushes bigger labels to create newer products. Okay, enough of the mambo-jambo.

A while back there was the Visvim x Original Fake Zahra slip-on and at the time it dropped in black. Now comes the release of the white version of the sneaker. The sneaker features the Kaws cross eyes on the top and the iconic bones character on the backheel.

The sneaker will be launched at Original Fake and at F.I.L. in Tokyo this weekend.

What a weird one...

Take a look at these. I had no idea why they were on Cool Hunting for ages until I made the connection between the words "USB Hub" and plastic food.

The plates of food are actually glorified USB hubs and the USB ports are hidden somewhere in the plastic mess. The plate of spaghetti cleverly hides the port at the tip of the fork while the plate of tomato-rice, deep-fried shrimp and hamburger with mystery sauce is actually a 4-port USB hub. Cool? Or just plain weird...??
Apparently, there are tonnes of these things in Japan being made by a design company called Solid Alliance. They also have card holders that look like raw shabu-shabu, and a surprisingly delectable collection sushi USB flashdrives.
