To celebrate the growing trend in socks and slides (the wearing of poolside flip flops with socks as illustrated in the picture), Adidas threw a rooftop soiree at the Boundary in the heart of London’s Shoreditch on one of the summer’s warmest evenings. Guests were invited to wear a pair of Adidas branded socks and slides, as well indulge in cocktails and grilled foods.
Despite some initial concerns about looking like someone’s Dad it was actually a lot of fun. The combination made for a comfortable fit and the chilled atmosphere helped tremendously. Definitely a look for hanging out at home, and who knows maybe I’ll be tempted to wear these down to the shop on my morning milk run.
Check out some of the faces that attended the event in our gallery below:
Following on from a recent announcement Converse and Maison Martin Margiela Paris have released a short clip which includes a first look at an all white converse sneaker modified to fit Maison Martin Margiela’S brand identity, against a black drop moving in slow motion as it smashes through a thin white tile captured in video at a side angle. The eleven second preview suggests a collection which is minimal, clean and embodies the signatures of both brands. Watch the edgy promotional visual for the collection which is coming soon below.
On the 4th July 2013 Nike Sportswear released three new pairs of the Air Max 90 Hyperfuse, each pair consisted of a solid single colour way drawing inspiration from the colours which make up the American flag. Each bold colourway sports a durable, breathable Hyperfuse upper to help keep you cool whilst working out. The tongue features a stylised nike interpretation of the American flag. One of my personal favourite releaes of the Summer as the colour palette choices something for everyone – minimalist in design this pack included a loud eye catching solar red, a understated porcelain white and a ghetto navy blue. The Nike Air Max 90 Hyperfuse Pack dropped Saturday, June 29 and are now sold out – due to a little know rapper/producer who was photographed on separate occasions rocking each colour way. You may be able to find these on ebay marked up from the original $120 per pair price. Check out the full Nike Air Max 90 Hyperfuse Pack in images below.
