Having had a peek at early pairs at the last Laces Out! a couple months ahead of deliveries. It was clear that Diadora weren't messing around on the quality. Which is really odd, at the minute, "quality" is tossed about willy nilly, mainly to support Nike, in charging us £135 for a shoe we could pick up 3-5 years ago for £90, or even less. But we really do stand by this statement, the quality of the Trident 90s are off the scales
For most footwear mad folk, you may have read or heard of Trainers by Neal Heard, which is the first and most iconic footwear book to date. The most recent issue is just one of the many updated versions Neal has put out.
What do you do in the summer in England? You sit indoors, watching the rain run down the window staring at your suede shoes that you've now got to put away.
Sneakers, trainers, kicks, whatever your calling them, you will be more than familiar with Collaborations. Aren't we all?! Wether you're tired of the whole thing, or your maxing out the overdraft to pick up collab after collab, these are looking pretty good.
Most of us who wake up each morning, check their phones, check Instagram and Twitter like its the news, will have seen the BAIT Splash City Gel Lyte V's.
Here at MensNeeds, were massive fans of low key. And this is the top of the lot really, low key colourway, on a stupidly underrated model. We like that stuff here.
Bait are continuing to slowly but surely take over the sneaker scene over in the states and this is now filterting through over the sea to England. With this Gel Lyte V celebrating the opening of the shop in San Fransisco it's only going to get the store more hype.
Since 1995, every 5 years, New Balance have issued the 1300 in its original form under the name M1300JP, exclusively in Japan. But in 2010, for the shoes 25th anniversary, NB decided to distribute outside of Japan, and have thus continued this with the M1300JP2 as we would have all hoped.
Right, let's get straight onto the elephant in the room. Yes, they look a lot like Roshe's, but is that a bad thing? No. These lightweight, summer friendly, down right great looking kicks are great whether they're Nike, Adidas or an in-house creation from Wyndsors World of Shoes (that's a north of England ting).
News of the collaborative efforts from Lost Art and Nike SB, dubbed the Docklands, drawing inspiration from the docks and the over head railway, surfaced on Wednesday, come Saturday Noon, they released, with the Lost Art faithful queuing down the street to get their hands on the first LA collab; and we can confirm its a good'un.
Laces Out! came back bigger and better for the second installment, occupying the two main rooms of Liverpool's best venue.
The collaborations on the ASICS silhouettes seem to have quietened off slightly, but Titolo is bringing all the memories of the last few years rushing back. But wow, they've done an awesome job.
We cannot stress how vital it is to put out a good collaboration at the minute, with the next collaboration of any shoe being this weekend, like the rest of them. We believe a good collaboration, if your store isn't already on the map, this can then do so, it can put you up there with the likes of Patta and Footpatrol, which bring in a lot of customers due to the status of these stores in the sneaker community.
