adidas x Wood Wood UltraBOOST 19
This Winter, adidas have worked with Copenhagen based Wood Wood to create two collaborative colour ways of the adidas UltraBOOST 19. The collaboration is the first part of the adidas Run City Pack, which will consist of four capsule running collections created in partnership with four different leading brands from across the globe – Wood Wood, Universal Works, NEIGHBORHOOD and lifestyle imprint Monocle.
The first of the UltraBOOST 19 colour ways takes form in a cream-coloured silhouette that is accented with contrasting rust and white details. The Primeknit upper, heel cage and branding are a tonal cream, while the inner lining and frontal tag take on a bold rust tone. adidas branding can be seen front and centre on the outer side of the shoe, while Wood Wood takes to the medial side with its logo atop three embossed stripes signature to its collaborator.
To compliment the cream pair there is also an olive coloured edition which offers darker Winter tones from its counterpart’s tonal structure. Olive green can be seen throughout the knit upper and heel cage, while the adidas and Wood Wood branding add some contrast in an off-white hue. A gold inner lining and laces add a dash of colour. Both colour ways are finished off with a white BOOST midsole, an iconic signature to the silhouette.
The adidas x Wood Wood UltraBOOST 19 is online now.
Carhartt WIP x Motown Records AW19 Collection
Coinciding with the 60th anniversary of Berry Gordy Jr founding the label in Detroit, Michigan, Carhartt WIP joins with Motown Records to present an expansive collection for AW19.
In 1959, after a relative degree of success writing songs for artists, Gordy Jr founded Tamla Records, which would lay the foundations for Motown – a name that nodded to Detroit’s motor-manufacturing heritage. Similar to the assembly lines of Ford Motors, where he had previously worked, Gordy Jr set about establishing his own conveyor belt, cranking out hits and establishing stars at a remarkable rate. Diana Ross and the Supremes, The Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5, and Marvin Gaye all passed through the hallowed doors of Motown’s humble two-story house-turned-recording studio on West Grand Boulevard.
Standout pieces in the collection include a sateen bomber and rolled beanie that features the cover art and promo material that accompanied Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On,” and a “Snake Pit” shirt that references Motown’s basement recording studio. Other T-Shirts and Hoodies in the collection draw reference to Motown’s sub-labels and the 1970 album “A Pocket Full of Miracles” by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.
The Carhartt WIP x Motown Records AW19 collection is online now.
adidas Originals “City Series” Malmo
Following on from the recent release of the Oslo, adidas Originals continue their city series with the Malmo. Originally released in the late 1970’s, the colours of the Malmo represent the flag of Sweden and have become a hugely popular and anticipated style with the last re-release being in 2012.
The Malmo’s upper features a suede base with premium leather overlays and lining, finished with a gum outsole unit. As expected, the Malmo also has the signature “City Series” gold foil branding on its side wall.
The adidas Originals “City Series” Malmo will be launching at The Hip Store on 15/11/19 online at 11:00pm and then in Leeds and Nottingham on 16/11/19 from 08:00am.
