HOKA One One x Engineered Garments Bondi L
Born in 2009, in Annecy, France, HOKA One One‘s name draws from a Maori phrase which loosely translates to the meaning “fly over the earth”. Keeping in line with this free moving ethos, HOKA specializes in producing performance level shoes for road, trail, and all-terrain conditions. Each footwear style is infused with tech such as cutting edge Vibram soles, GORE-TEX membranes and lightweight cushioning, which all merge to create ultra-comfy yet dependable footwear ready to tackle any environment.
Engineered Garments and HOKA One One team up for the fourth time to create a special edition all-gender Bondi L road shoe for AW21. Inspired by the concept of “formal running shoe” – Engineered Garments designer and running enthusiast Daiki Suzuki has fused well-crafted materials and distinct patterns to create an elevated version of the classic Bondi seen as a blank canvas, with uppers consisting of a unique offering of black cow hair, taupe cow hair and a brown croc print. Keeping comfort at the forefront, the Bondi L features an early stage Meta-Rocker for a smooth feel through each step, alongside a leather upper and wide footbed for guaranteed stability.

Fred Perry x Casely Hayford SS21 Collection
Following the success of their previous collaboration, Fred Perry join forces with London-based menswear label Casely Hayford to release a collection of known Fred Perry classics with a vibrant abstract twist and focus on British tailoring. To launch the collaboration, HIP were invited to shoot and style the global campaign for this collection.
Both Fred Perry and Casely-Hayford are brands built on storytelling. For their second collaboration together, the aim was to celebrate stories that are already there and stories that have already been told, but in a new modern way. Speaking on the collection, tailoring master Charlie Casely-Hayford himself explained “I am creating something new from something old, celebrating cherished garments that are passed down and their cultural relevance through the generations. Growing up, I remember being submerged in a mix of cultures on Ridley Road, East London – clashing prints and colours and vibrancy of life on the market, juxtaposed with harder pieces like the bomber jacket”.
A true sense of modernity can be felt in the relaxed shapes and subtle details that all add to the story of the collection, whilst other iconic styles are reinterpreted through Charlie’s keen eye for a bold pop and print. Built on a simple yet modern palette, key pieces in the collection that display this include the Digi Printed Shirt, Funnel Neck Jacket and Cable Knit Cardigan.
The Fred Perry x Casely Hayford SS21 Collection is online now.
