Amazing. Toronto based clothing company, RANSOM, is collaborating with adidas originals for a collection of footwear. From what I can tell, the shoes are mainly monotone in colours and seem to have a more rugged feel to them. But that doesn’t mean they didn’t pay attention to all the details they possibly could from stitching patterns and logos. Read the interview with the collaborators in question here at Crooked Tongues. The collection set to drop this fall, keep an eye out and show some love.

Lance Armstrong has collaborated with Nike Sportswear on a limited collection of sneakers. I suppose this has been a long time coming, but we finally get a closer look at some of these shoes. (more…)

Official image of one of the Kanye West for Louis Vuitton sneakers. Pretty clean and unfrivolous aside from the overgrown cushion at the heel, apparently to tuck your jeans into. I’m not too big on the red all over, but the materials look good. I love suede. Official press release below… (more…)

All in all, sexy shoes. Descriptions and pictures after the jump.
Attack of the Chinese Inspired Sneakers! January 16, 2009

Triumvirs founder Brandon Cheng was given the opportunity to design a Nike SB sneaker with FLY from China and this is the product of it. They’ve taken inspirations from their staples in their heritage: noodles, traffic, highways and Tianamen Square. These are really nice sneakers even though I’ve had just about enough of these Chinese heritage inspired shoes even though its not that apparent in this one. These should be at SB dealers soon.. or now. So keep your ears to the ground! More pics after the jump

I guess it was bound to happen… He’s not known as the Louis Vuitton Don for no reason. So he’s working with Louis Vuitton to design 6 shoes, and here’s a sneak peak at one of them. looks pretty clean. Not bad, but the heel of the shoe could use some work. Can’t wait to see what the others will look like. No word yet on coulours… either.
Nike 1World Air Force 1: CLOT Edition January 10, 2009

So a complete look at the CLOT x NIKE 1World Air Force 1’s is out. As you may know, CLOT is based in Hong Kong and as such, they felt it was necessary to represent that in their shoe. This shoe is immaculate in its design and intent to show the world the asian culture. The packaging is truly amazing. Likened to Chinese New Year candy boxes, the package includes, instead of candy, several coloured laces in separating segments, and then the shoes. This is what I call product design. More pictures after the jump.

Previously, I posted the Adidas x Jeremy Scott Wings shoes from this series. Now here is a preview shoe release from Jeremy Scott and Kazuki. They both bring significantly different styles to the adidas shoes, but they both bring something interesting to the table. Gotta love the wings. Check the full post for more shoes.

This track was released last year as part of the G-Shock 25th Anniversary Soundtrack. I just found out about it recently and I am liking it a lot. Especially Lupe’s verse. I think he has a slight advantage because he’s the only one I can understand, but overall this is good stuff. Mp3? Yes please.

I don’t watch Miami Ink, but Darren Brass from the show has teamed up with DC Shoes to create these highly detailed pieces. Taking inspiration from fruits, grapes of wrath and the peach basket, these shoes show an interesting take on the two. These are the Manteca…for women
