KidSuper has built on its link-up with PUMA earlier this year by teaming up with Pantofola d’Oro for a three-piece footwear collaboration.Founded by American designer Colm Dillane, this unique capsule merges the epochal culture of Italian football with modern U.S. streetwear vibes while revisiting three of Pantofola d’Oro’s most famed silhouettes.Arriving in a mix of contrasting yellow panels and the other in shades of “Wisteria”, the Open and Assist styles are two low-profile takes on classic everyday looks, which boast a soft calfskin upper that sits atop a comfortable honeycomb-tread sole.The Slip-On Sneakerball — a pink and white look that combines history, legend and design — takes notes from Pantofola d’Oro’s famed football boots, housing elements like a folded tongue and an all-over padded effect, all of which sits above a speckled white outsole.The full KidSuper x Pantofola d’Oro collection is set to drop in December, with more information expected nearer the time.In other footwear news, Givenchy has showcased its Monumental Mallow styles for Fall 2021.

Since Matthew M Williams took over Givenchy as its Creative Director back in June 2020, the 1017 ALYX 9SM founder has taken the luxury label to new heights, infiltrated with avant-garde silhouettes and oversized, technical looks that are akin to the designer’s own brand. Now, Givenchy has released its most daring sneakers to date, dubbed the Monumental Mallow.First seen during the Fall/Winter 2021 runway show, the Monumental Mallow comes in two forms: a low-top, and a high-top that features a mesh sock liner as its collar. Kicking off with the latter, we find a smooth matte rubber base with a lightly distressed finish in cream appear with sculptural lines marking the toe and heel areas, as well as a faint line around the shoe that nods to its all-rubber uni-piece construction. Alongside this is a mesh ribbed knit sock that extends from the shoe and forms both the tongue and its high-top credentials, while a leather Givenchy-branded insole and a black toothed outsole round out the pair.As for the lows, these go without the sock addition and look a lot more like chunky clogs. Available in either shiny black, matte black, or matte brown, the pair features the same sculptural appearance alongside black sole unit details, no branding on the exterior, and just a touch of branding on the leather insoles.Low-tops in matte colorways retail for $595 USD, while the shiny pair is an extra $100 USD at $695 USD. As for the highs, be prepared to fork out $895 USD when they drop in the States. Take a look at all four iterations above, and head over to your regional Givenchy site or its boutiques worldwide to cop a pair now.For more outlandish shoes, check out ADER error’s inaugural in-house footwear collection.

Following the debut of the Dunk High “Acid Wash” series, Nike has added another rendition of the classic 1985 silhouette in “Yellow Acid Wash” and “Orange Acid Wash” colorways.The “Yellow Acid Wash” Dunk High takes feature a stark black leather base with tonal overlays splashed with a yellow acid wash print. Electric yellow hues are sported onto the statement Swoosh, tongue branding and treading along the overlays. Elevating the shoes are mustard yellow midsoles atop pale yellow rubber outsoles.While the “Orange Acid Wash” take is covered in the cream leather upper with accents of baby blue throughout the mudgard, eyestay panel and quarter heel. Tie dye-like pattern in orange further contrasts the bold iteration, while more orange is seen on the collar and Swooshes on the sidewalls and tongue with rims of blue. A pastel orange midsole sitting below the tangerine outsole completes the look of the Dunk High.Both priced at $130 USD, Dunk High in “Yellow Acid Wash” and “Orange Acid Wash” are expected to drop in the coming weeks at Nike and stockists.For more footwear news, take a detailed look at the Travis Scott x Nike Air Max 1 “Baroque Brown.”
