HUF x Patta

Some fresh abundance of collaborations in the forthcoming year are looking juicy for fans of European streetwear and the like. Patta, being one of them looks to have matched seemlessly with the SanFranDisco of HUF, a personal staple. PxH
Can't go wrong with Crewnecks'n'caps



Legit.

Pump20 Finale.

They all came out the other night and its a promising pack, nonetheless some hits 'n' misses.

Heres all of them in one place.



Enjoy the final post so I can move onto bigger and broader things.

Pump20 pt.5 (The Favourites)

Alrighty I've just about seen all the Pump collabs I want, about 15 no doubt, so far.

Here are my favourites:

24 Kilates : The Spaniards capture the simplicity of the original cw, while highlighting the celebratory fact of the matter, The Pump technology, using translucent black paneling to reveal the inner workings of what Pumps up, and air's out.




HUF : Solid, Simple, Seductive. I expect nothing less from one of the classics of my wardrobe.


Pump20 pt.4

Here comes the goods. Patta & KICKS/HI. These are looking great!
Release globally this friday.


Patta - Cout force rendition


Kicks/hi - The spirit of the ocean.

Pump20 pt.3

Thanks to the following reveals on the interweb that have amassed over the past week, I now have my eyes set on my pick of the punch. Alittle more on that in another post. Otherwise here's a quick rundown.

We got a better look at the Sneakers'n'stuff winter rendition.



Atmos leak a teaser.




Australia's own Espionage reveal their design.




Stolen Riches show their stripes.




November 19th isn't too far away now. Still just under 10 stores yet to leak anything. High hopes around the corner.

Pump20 Collection pt.3 & Poster


Now that I have gotten the official Poster for the PUMP20 collection...

British interweb merchants, Hanon give us a sneak peak at their version of a tonal grey rendition with hits of red and a digital square pattern. A solid colourway, but I'm still waiting for something better from at least a few of the other shops that haven't leaked their collaborations yet.

The official unveiling of all designs will be on the eve of release, the 19th of this month where all collaborations will be previewed with detail.

Hanon x Reebok PUMP20

Pump20 Collection Vision.

Here's a short grab of what went down when the collaboration process got under way.

Pump20 Collection pt.3

Boston's Bodega sneaker stoop produces an all weather- combat boot for their urban jungle design of Reebok's Pump. Sporting all the goods to protect yourself from city street grime and lacquer, the Bodega packaging is sublime in theming itself this time, the "Outback" Pump.

More: The military inspired “Outback” is made up of soft nubuck leather contrasted by canvas and subtle reflective materials. Lots of small details such as trek laces, a mesh tongue, and dog/hang tags are featured on the shoe. As with the other releases in this campaign, the sneakers are individually numbered and limited to 31 pairs. To further accentuate the uniqueness of this release, each shoe is packaged in military spec ammo cases and comes with a collaborative t-shirt.



What's Lost Remains.


...to close
Understandable= Yes.

Tolerable= Maybe.

Expected= No.

Provider trainers in Melbourne, a store that I hold some personal affinity with for gaining my individual insight into sneakers and the desired culture, is moving on - selling the store (the memories and people will be missed).

Full news brief

Pump20 Collection pt.2

Next up is a little unflattering domain of French chic LaMJC by the Colette store, Paris.
In an aesthetic reminiscent of Japanese designs of recent (the Adidas AZX design by VA), The french idea I believe, is poorly materialized into the wrong collaboration. But considering the number of stores, I guess someone had to do the whole thing in fabrique a la sweatpants. The splatter pattern is the only bonus amongst the massive Pump tongue adorned in the comforting fabric. Something unique about that.


Pump20 Collection pt.1

German sneakerhaus Solebox, true aficionados of collaboration, have produced a reebok Pump with thought and technical application. From Glow in the dark accents, to Neoprene materials, memory foam collar and a light-up Pump logo plus much much more, this is true german precision and innovation meeting a sporting product. All in the name of "why not?".


Pump20 Collection Intro

Before I try my hand at my own Shoes Today experiment, I thought I'd Blog a series of upcoming sneaker releases.
With Big news that Reebok is celebrating its 20th anniversary of the genius PUMP technology, something that for history's sake was larger than Nike itself at inception, It comes by no surprise celebrations will take the form of numerous name Sneaker stores around the globe taking part in a collaborative design process, The Pump20 collection. To commend Reebok and the PUMP technology all in one, the PUMP Bringback retro will be repackaged with unique colour-ways designed by stores that not only include Australia's own sydney side Espionage but personal favorites, HUF, Solebox, SeakersNStuff and AlifeRivingitionClub (to name a few).


Here's a Quick look at the retro model in its OG CW (also to be released).

Found this hiding on the side of Opening Ceremony for Keds Collection :
