Year: 2022

After connecting earlier this summer for a pair of beach-ready Slip Ons, Noah and Vans now reunite for two cozy colorways of Suede Chukka Boots.The collaborative mid-tops feature 100% suede uppers, keeping the ankles warm in the winter, paired with skate-ready rubber outsoles. Modifications to the original silhouette include upgraded cushioning, deeper knurl texture on the toe bumpers, and higher sidewalls on the outsoles for increased durability. Two colorways are available, including “Dark Green” with brown laces and “Tobacco” with bright red laces. Both pairs incorporate debossed NOAH cross logo imprints on the lateral heel counter, checkerboard tags along the collars, metallic eyelets, and red Off the Wall banners on the heel. Extra white laces are also included in the packaging.The Noah x Vans Skate Suede Chukka Boots are now available on the NOAH website for $110 USD. The pairs will later be available in Japan via Noah Clubhouse, Tokyo, and Noah Noodle Shop, Osaka on January 14.

To celebrate the upcoming lunar new year, Chinese artist Zhang Quan’s label Melting Sadness reconnects with adidas Originals for a footwear pack featuring playful takes on the classic Superstar and ADIMATIC silhouettes.The ADIMATIC takes cues from the traditional “Dragon and Lion Dance,” incorporating bell attachments and lion costume details across the woven uppers. The silhouette’s signature sawtooth toe and heel sections mimic the tiger’s sharp teeth while eye motifs run across the laterals. Laces are double-stitched and additional stud details line the padded tongues. Rounding out the look are semi-translucent outsoles showcasing paw-patterned bottoms. The ADIMATIC pairs arrive in both blue and orange colorways.Also on the lineup are adidas Superstars which interpret the forthcoming Year of the Rabbit in a very literal sense. Found in blue and pink colorways, the Superstars are lined in white fluffy materials featuring all-over prints inspired by traditional Chinese pattern totems. Large puff balls are secured on the heels and black dot designs on the heel represent the cute spots on KARORO’s face to round out the look.Take a closer look at the Melting Sadness x adidas Originals “2023 CNY” pack below and stay tuned for more release details. 在 Instagram 查看這則貼文 Melting Sadness（@meltingsadness）分享的貼文 在 Instagram 查看這則貼文 Melting Sadness（@meltingsadness）分享的貼文 在 Instagram 查看這則貼文 Melting Sadness（@meltingsadness）分享的貼文 在 Instagram 查看這則貼文 Melting Sadness（@meltingsadness）分享的貼文 在 Instagram 查看這則貼文 Melting Sadness（@meltingsadness）分享的貼文Elsewhere in footwear, Nike readies Air Adjust Force in “White Metallic” and “Black Multi.”
