Neighborhood x Converse AW19 Collection
Converse and Neighborhood have joined forces once again to create two new takes on the Jack Purcell and the All Star Chuck Taylor ‘70. Inspired by motorcyclists, a key inspiration for the Tokyo brand, mixing Shinsuke Takizawa’s design philosophy with classic styles from Converse.
The Jack Purcell features blacked-out detailing with white lettering on the midsole that reads “NBHDCNSJP,”, complemented by a white toe box with black rubber reinforcement. In a similar tone, the Chuck Taylor ’70 features an oversized velcro closure on the forefoot that reads “Craft With Pride” and “Shift”.
The Neighborhood x Converse AW19 Collection is coming soon to The Hip Store.

Patta x Clarks Originals AW19 Desert Trek
This AW19 Patta has joined with Clarks Originals to produce two monochromatic iterations of the classic Desert Trek Silhouette.
As a favourite silhouette of the Patta crew, the Desert Trek is also cultural classic in Jamaica – a point that Patta co-founder Guillaume Schmidt wanted to highlight in this collaboration. Jamaicans affectionately call the Desert Trek the “Bank Robber” after its Trekman logo debossed on the shoe’s rear quarter, and is one of Jamaica’s most loved and worn pairs.
The Patta Desert Trek is offered in two clean monochromatic options of black and white. Both made from butter-soft leather and feature patent leather side panels — where you can find debossed Patta and Trekman branding.
The lookbook for the collaboration was shot by Stacii Samidin in Kingston, Schmidt wanted to capture Jamaica’s culturally rich and important music scene, featuring emerging new school reggae artist, Mortimer, alongside Ledger and Damus.
To celebrate the launch of the one off Desert Trek, Patta and Clarks Originals held an event and exhibition showcasing Stacii Samidin’s lookbook at Unit 1 Gallery in London on the weekend of Notting Hill carnival.
The Patta x Clarks Originals AW19 Desert Trek will be launching at The Hip Store on 31/08/19 online at 08:00am and in Leeds from 09:00am.
Adsum AW19 Collection
This AW19 season Brooklyn based Adsum present their new collection for the harsher months ahead.
Peter Macnee’s New York brand was founded in 2015 and built on traditional men’s staples blended with technical outerwear and sportswear. Speaking on his labels new collection, Macnee noted that “someone working in horticulture will wear double-layer knee cotton pants for comfort and utility, but on a cold morning, a performance insulation layer is what most people are going to reach for.”
This ethos has resulted in garments such as the Utility Pant and Work Jacket being made from a durable, heavy, dry herringbone twill — staying true to the workwear theme. Another standout piece in the collection is the Expedition fleece which is made from heavyweight, Japanese-milled Taslan with a reversed pile for the interior.
The first delivery of Adsum AW19 is online now.
