London-based Goodhood has unveiled a new partnership with Dr. Martens, taking on the footwear specialists signature 6-eye 101 boot silhouette. The boot — one of the brand’s best-known — features a range of screen-printed across the upper, referencing its DIY influence and the ways in which Dr. Martens wearers customize their footwear.The screen-printed details contrast against an all-black Vintage Smooth leather upper, which is contrasted with Dr. Martens’ classic black and yellow heel loop. The printed graphics include Goodhood’s London address, a spider’s web, a repeated diamond motif and the word “ANDEVER” down each heel.The collaborative 6-eye 101 Boots is due to release on December 2, and will be available from Goodhood, the Dr. Martens web store and select stockists.As well as working with Goodhood, Dr. Martens also recently partnered with The North Face Purple Label.

Kanye West and adidas have an incredibly fruitful collaborative relationship, but no pair has been as divisive as the YEEZY QNTM. However, in the upcoming “Amber Tint” colorway, the sneaker may have finally found its purpose.Originally designed as a lifestyle-meets-basketball sneaker, the “Amber Tint” iteration goes to show that the QNTM is more than just a futuristic B-ball sneaker. Instead, it doubles as a versatile winter-ready high-top pair that wears its newfound autumnal tones brilliantly well.As expected, the side panels are made from a semi-translucent mesh material that’s overlayed with wavy cream, brown, and black stripes, before leading into a cream suede toe bumper that blends into the semi-translucent rubber BOOST-filled midsole. Towards the rear, the QNTM’s black elements appear, working the rear section of the heel and the synthetic collar, while reflective touches have been applied to the former. Rounding out the pair are the rope laces.The adidas YEEZY QNTM “Amber Tint” is set to release on the adidas CONFIRMED app on December 3 for £220 GBP (or $250 USD in the U.S.A.) and is available in adult, kids, and infant sizing.In case you missed it, check out this week’s issue of Sole Mates.

Nike has added another neutral rendition to its SB Dunk High lineup, dropping a “Medium Gray” colorway with contrasting hues.Boasting a light gray leather base with darker contrasting overlays, this SB Dunk High iteration is reminiscent of Jeff Staple’s “Pigeon” release with the construction of smooth leathers in a similar color palette. Deeper gray is continued on the mesh tongue with stark black laces, while hits of pink can be seen across the tongue tag and pull tab. White swooshes in tumbled leather on the lateral further contrast the silhouette. To complete the look, a white midsole is spotted with subtle blue stitching over a black rubber outsole.Priced at $110 USD, the Nike SB Dunk High “Medium Gray” is set to drop on December 25 at Nike.In case you missed it, Adidas Expands Its Metaverse Journey With New Four-Way Collaboration.
