With a rich heritage in the history of Fell running, hailing from Bolton UK, Walsh have teamed up with Universal Works of London town, to bring us one of the cleanest collaborations in a long while, with no forced themes, just wonderful materials, colours and impeccable shape.

This may come as a shock to most, but this isn't the first sock collaboration. With the Wu-Tang Clan Huf Plantlife socks basically being on everyones feets for at least one day, and the Cheech and Chong Plantlifes releasing, it shouldn't be suprising to most.

Collaborations have been coming thick and fast. And when they're done this well, on such a classic EQT model, you cant help but to stare. Absolute show stoppers from the Bait team out in USA with the colour scheme paying homage to the Statue of Liberty, and without any thought, representing the chilling temperatures out in the concrete jungle this time of year.
2014 brought us the second instalment of the 'MN Best Kicks of' awards. This year we've slimmed down the catergories and changed the way we vote for the best overall kick to make the whole thing a better experience. Let's get down to it, here are the winners for 2014'.


Over the past couple of years, ASICS has really cemented it;s name in Sneaker Culture as well as being the brand seemingly doing the most collaborative work. This is a great way of giving us what we want, in plush materials and killer colourways. This time; ASICS have teamed up with Barcelona's very own LimitEDition to bring us the SurrEDaliste.
2014 really has been the year of the collaboration, with more and more retailers and designers getting involved with some of the biggest names in the sneaker world, such as Nike, ASICS, Saucony and adidas. Here we have our 7 best.

It's always nice when you see something a little bit different coming out of the Ronnie Fieg/KITH office. Here we have a New Balance 530 which doesn't seem to have a huge RF styling attached to it.

Thinking back two or three years ago, Sneaker events were almost unheard of, especially in the UK. With the growth of the Sneaker Community in the past two years, events such as Laces Out!, 6ACRE and Crepe City have burst on to the scene, giving collectors and enthusiasts a place to meet up, buy, sell, trade and have a good time with like minded people.

The OG Mowabb colour-way has always been one of Nike's most recognisable colour-ways, with a fantastic mix of plain beige with bright pops of blue and orange. Now, thanks to Acapulco Gold we're getting to see this fantastic colour scheme on the Nike SB Dunk Hi.


Most of us are aware of all the gourmet burger joints popping up here there and everywhere, most of which based on the famous American burger diners. End Clothing have took this idea and decided to take a step away from predictable colour blocking, and to take inspiration from the loveable burger joint.


So far in 2014, the Stan Smith is having huge success, including the re-issue of the original colour-ways, the spectacular consortium editions, and a run of hugely anticipated collaborations. Here we have the next edition of the long list of 2014 Stan Smith collaborations.

As we all know, Clot Inc produce some interesting collaborations, but here they've decided to tone things down a touch with the recently resurrected Stan Smith. And if Stan wore White and Green on the court, he would definetly wear Black and Gold to disco.

Here in 2013 we started our first ever MN Best Kicks of, this was an awards style poll which was split into 6 categories; Best Overall, Best Nike, Best Collaboration, Best Adidas, Best New Balance and Best Air Jordan. Today we share with you, our winners.


Here we have a very anticipated collaboration between the good people over at Sneaker Freaker, and Mr. Dassler's infamous three striped brand of Adidas.
