Puma x Chinatown Market SS19 Collection
Chinatown Market was founded in 2016 by Mike Cherman who was inspired by the grit, style and bootleg culture of New York’s famous Canal Street. Quickly making waves in the fast paced world of streetwear – CTM has become well known for releasing quick witted logo rips, homages to luxury fashion brands and standout accessories
Puma has joined with Chinatown Market to create a new collection for SS19 which includes two colourways of the low-top Ralph Sampson Lo, which feature an interchangeable Formstrip featuring green, red and blue stripes.
Influenced by retro basketball, the first iteration of Puma x Chinatown Market is meant to have a DIY feel as if it were made and customised by hand in the Chinatown Market studio. The collection also features the classic Chinatown Market Smiley basketball which has become one of the brand’s most popular graphics and accessories in recent years.
The Puma x Chinatown Market SS19 Collection is online now.
Saucony x Sneaker Politics Shadow 5000 “Café Du Monde”
Saucony had joined with Sneaker Politics to create a new colourway of the Shadow 5000 that pays homage to Café Du Monde – the famous open air coffee shop in New Orleans.
Established in 1862, Café Du Monde has become a monument for the city and the many tourists that visit each and every year.
The Shadow 5000 “Beignet Brown” colourway mimics the French-style doughnuts with a three-tone brown suede leather and mesh upper adorned with white flecks to mimic dashes of powdered sugar atop the fried dough desserts. The co-branded tongue and vibrant green and white outsoles play respect to colors of Café Du Monde’s patio overhangs.
The Saucony x Sneaker Politics Shadow 5000 “Café Du Monde” will be launching 05/07/19 at The Hip Store online at 08:00am and in Leeds from 09:30am.
