Wish Black History Capsule 2017 “I WISH”

Love. Peace. Strength. Hope. Kindness. These are just a few of the words heard when we asked our customers what they wish for in the world today.

This month we felt it was extremely important to engage in the conversation about the uncertainty in our world today. We asked our customers what they were feeling and how it has affected them personally. It is important to talk about the issues we are facing today and make sure we come together to create the change we want to see.

The words on our shirt represent what we want to see. It is the change we want to create. It is what we wish for….

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of our shirts will go towards The Center for Civil and Human Rights. https://www.civilandhumanrights.org/

UNDFTD x Colette x adidas Consortium Sneaker Exchange

2017_01_17_Wish_Nicola13106Blog2017_01_17_Wish_Nicola13104Blog2017_01_17_Wish_Nicola13105Blog

Parisian store Colette, which has been one of Europe’s it store’s for design, art, culture and fashion for close to 18 years, have come together with Los Angeles UNDEFEATED, one of the most recognised brands in the world within sneaker community, for the first instalment of the much anticipated ‘Sneaker Exchange.’ Both brands are renown for their approach to collaboration, inviting some of the most influential creatives in the world to co-create products, this time, with adidas at the core. In this first instalment of adidas Consortium’s most ambitious collaboration series to date, we see influence from Paris and Los Angeles on the EQT Support and Campus 80s.

The Sneaker Exchange is about beautiful footwear foremost, but it also establishes a platform to ponder the ideas of time, distance and their changing role in the modern world. It is just this combination that both parties draw inspiration from here, the concept of playing with opposites. Los Angles and Paris are nine time zones and half the world apart.

The pack includes a Campus 80s and EQT. The Campus 80s has a white high-quality leather upper, an off white rubber sole with royal blue lacing and heel. The EQT support is the moodier, night time counterpart. The sole, too, is off-white but dark navy and deep blue shades dominate the model’s upper.

colette and UNDEFEATED deliver a collaboration at its best. Both parties share a common interest in footwear, they used their silhouettes as a template and worked together to establish a common thematic ground for their executions. Two models, mirrored colorways, one clear and consistent theme – the adidas Consortium Sneaker Exchange is available on January 28, 2017 both online and instore at our Moreland Ave location.

Nike Air Destroyer Jacket

Back in 2006, Nike designers began a mission to re-craft iconic sports apparel in the most technical materials they could find. The ubiquitous American varsity jacket was an obvious choice for the experiment that would become Nike Sportswear. After some years the technique is improved. The latest Nike Destroyer Jacket is crafted with a comfortable wool blend and an insulated lining to lock in heat, while premium leather sleeves provide durability and a classic look.

Both the Nike Destroyer Jacket and Air Jordan Retro 12 Low are now available at our Moreland Ave location as well as through phone orders at (404) 880-0402.
