ASICS Gel Lyte V “Sunset Pack”

Written by Julie Hogg on . Posted in Product.

The ASICS Tiger Gel Lyte V Sunset Pack includes three different colorways taking inspirations from the summer sky at dusk. Drawing on the deep purples, oranges and reds that can be seen in the sky during a sunset, the suede uppers come in a choice of deep purple or black, both of which sport pops of orange on the logos and a dark red lining. Both pairs sit on top of a clean white midsole, with orange or purple wave detailing at the heel respectively, and are rounded off by a contrasting outsole in red or black. There have been some great inline colorways of the GEL LYTE V since its comeback and these have to be up there with the best of them.

Coming Soon: Air Jordan 1 Retro High “Shattered Backboard”

Written by Julie Hogg on . Posted in Product.

Nike continues to observe the legacy of the seminal model with a salute aimed at Michael Jordan’s ferocious airtime. While His Airness didn’t exactly shatter any backboards in an NBA game, his vicious dunking abilities were best evidenced during an exhibition match in Italy in 1985. Accordingly, the AJ1 “Shattered Backboard” mimics the uniform Jordan wore during that fateful game, arriving with a luxurious combination of smooth and pebbled leather throughout the upper. Be on the look out for the Air Jordan 1 Retro High “Shattered Backboard” releasing tomorrow in-store at our Moreland Ave. location at 11 AM EST.

In addition to footwear, the Vault by Vans x Takashi Murakami collaboration brings forth an artistic assortment of apparel and skate decks.

Murakami’s anime-influenced aesthetic is renowned for its incorporation of lively colors, shapes and imagery inspired by traditional Japanese art and pop culture. Now generally recognized as a “Superflat” form, a term he himself coined, his work is known for blurring the line between high and low arts. For fall 2015, two of Murakami’s recurring motifs – the smiling flower and skull patterns – are brought to life in a limited edition selection of Slip-Ons, skateboard decks and tees.

HYPEBEAST Magazine Issue 10: The Alliance Issue

Written by Julie Hogg on . Posted in Product.

Collaboration is intertwined with our culture and it is a process that we encounter on a daily basis, whether in fashion, art, design or music. For this reason, we saw it fitting to center HYPEBEAST Magazine Issue 10: The Alliance Issue around this topic area to coincide with our 10-year anniversary. We reached out to figures at the forefront of our culture to help recap the past decade via their curation of collaboration items, which includes the likes of Slam Jam’s founder Luca Benini, colette’s founder Sarah Andelman, UNITED ARROWS & SONS’ Poggy, art purveyor Emmanuel Perrotin, alongside a slew of legendary curators. We also sat down with Nike’s CEO Mark Parker, BEINGHUNTED.’s Jörg Haas and Vans’ Head of Design Rian Pozzebon to discuss the intricacies of working with other brands, the rationale behind the act, and the relevance of collaboration to our culture. Additionally, renowned photographer Ari Marcopolous and up-and-coming fashion photographer Less captured the cultural impact of collaboration through the lens of Eastern and Western sensibilities. Since 2005, we have evolved to encompass an array of topic areas — with fashion at our core — and we hope to share our love and passion for it in our most product-oriented issue to date. -HYPEBEAST
