Month: June 2023

Stüssy has developed a deep affinity for the Converse Chuck 70 Hi as it has been doing different renditions of it nearly every season. After rolling out a variation with pearly “SS” logos this past spring, the California-based streetwear imprint is set to roll out another colorway alongside Our Legacy.At the time of writing, only a teaser image of the kicks has been unveiled, but we can still point out some of its simple-yet-striking features. Pastel colors are a reflection of summer, so the trio elected to play into the seasonal shift and utilize a baby blue hue as the primary focus here. It covers the canvas uppers, laces and tongues and comes complemented with Our Legacy’s signature yin and yang insignia that lands on the lateral walls. Rubber toe caps and midsole units both come readied with off-white exteriors and black trim to round off its presentations.More images of the collaborative pair above will likely surface within the upcoming days, so sit tight for those. Stüssy has confirmed that these will be launching on Friday, June 30.Looking for more new footwear-related news?

UPDATE: Montreal-based streetwear label Dime made its presence felt during Paris Fashion Week SS24 by unveiling new footwear collaborations with ASICS. And after teasing a cream and gray colorway, it appears that a green and navy blue iteration has also been produced as the label’s co-owner Vincent Tsang has teased it. Like its sibling, this variation bears a gradient theme as dusted green toe boxes and overlays transition into a muted blue towards the mid-foot and rear. A Dime call-out is also positioned in silver text on the lateral heel window. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vincent Tsang (@vincent.mtl)ORIGINAL ARTICLE:Given all the spotlight and excitement that surrounds every Paris Fashion Week, brands with runway shows and imprints with activations will make it a point to flex their forthcoming footwear projects. And why it didn’t have any major catwalk moment, Dime has made its presence felt this week by showing off its upcoming Dime x ASICS GT-2160 collaboration.The Montreal-headquartered streetwear label elected to throw a concise set of neutral tones on this lifestyle runner and focus on gradients for the top and lower halves. Starting out with the base layers, the mesh toe boxes, laces and ASICS tiger stripes are both treated with off-white exteriors and transition into muted gray collars, heels and metallic silver overlays. A Dime call-out rests inside the lateral heel windows just below the GT-2160 branding. Underneath all of that, that midsole splits into four, colored sections. The forefoot is treated with a muted gray before it transitions into a rustic gold hue in the center and white and gray paneling in the rear.The kicks will be seeing a launch on June 22 through 3537’s FÊTE DE LA MUSIQUE event. A wider release hasn’t been confirmed yet.Elsewhere in sneakers, an ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 “Tarmac” colorway has been revealed.

BAPE and adidas are continuing to expand their collaborative output. The duo has walked hand-in-hand for 20 years and splashed BAPE’s iconic ABC camo on several silhouettes, including the adidas UltraBOOST, NMD TS1, and more. The iconic Japanese streetwear brand celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2023, having begun festivities with two Forum 84 Lows. BAPE and adidas are continuing the celebration with an honorary Campus 80. The design embraces the archival model and integrates trademark BAPE touches for streetwear fanatics worldwide. Smooth brown suede uppers begin the design, replacing adidas’ Three Stripes branding with white leather BAPE-STA logos connected to co-branded gilded heel tabs. adidas branding remains on the interior-facing walls, while golden 30th-anniversary lace dubraes secure the laces into place. Debossed numerals adorn the tongues, completing the design with standard white rubber bottoms. Take an official look at the BAPE x adidas Campus 80 collaboration in the gallery above.
