Vogue – Paris 2011/Italia 1989

“Stealing the draft cuban air for a touch of sensual colour arises a unique Brazillian Beauty to challenge some of the staples, her name… Isabeli Fontana. An unspoken veteran to the modelling industry we share a snapshot of a classic shoot which embodies  the esscence of  a steamy colour-vibrant cuban affair. The images showcased are from the Vogue Paris June/July 2011 issue, which pays homage to the Vogue Italia February 1989 where an ultra bronzed Linda Evangelista embodies the va-va-voom of the female form. Linda, captured by photographer Steve Meisel and Isabeli, brought to life by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, both elude vibrancy, heat and passion. Enjoy.”

Where to Buy the Nike Dunk Low ‘Year of the Rabbit’

https://www.sneakerfreaker.com/news/nike-dunk-low-year-of-the-rabbit-2023-buy-price-release-date

Chinese New Year, aka Lunar New Year, is just around the corner in 2023, so expect a bunch of sneaker companies to cash in on the millennia-old celebration with a slew of thematic releases. For Nike, they’re actually revisiting an old concept on a new pair of Dunks as the Year of the Rabbit approaches once again.

For anyone that’s been in the game for a while, they’ll recognise these white, blue and red Dunks channelling the same layout as the YOTR Air Force 1 from 2011. That pair was a fairly limited release, complete with plenty of premium details and even a small batch that shipped in custom White Rabbit candy-inspired packaging.

As 12 years have rolled around, it’s time to revisit the rabbit. These Dunks do a good job of replicating the AF-1 but rejig some proportions due to the different panelling. However, the suede and leather combo with the chenille Swooshes is reprised, and the ‘2011’ on the outsoles pays direct homage to its inspiration.

As CNY is in January 2023, expect these Dunks to hit Nike retailers within weeks.

The Palace x adidas Samba Collaboration Was Inevitable

RELEASE: 3 FEBRUARY 2023

 

https://www.sneakerfreaker.com/news/palace-skateboards-adidas-samba-puig-collaboration-buy-price-release-date

 

 

Palace Skateboards have revealed their upcoming Spring 2023 collection of clothing, accessories, trinkets, boards and, of course, shoe collaborations. Their long-standing partnership with adidas has netted them a trio of bespoke Sambas, a model on fire right now. However, a closer look at these pairs reveals an interesting twist.

The soles come from the adidas Puig, the signature skate shoe of Palace team rider Lucas Puig. As the full-throttle, all-caps product description on the Palace site reads:

‘I’VE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES IN LIFE
AND GLUEING THE LUCAS PUIG SOLE WE DESIGNED ONTO A SAMBA
WASN’T ONE OF THEM’

The execution sees the Samba OG upper in its usual leather and suede combo with some additional modifications. The tongue branding now sports the Palace ‘triferg’ logo, and their wordmark also appears on the side of the gum soles. Black and white plus white and black colourways refer to the stock standard Samba editions, but a third olive and gold option offers a lavish touch to the partnership.

The Palace x adidas Samba Puig hybrid will release on February 3 in the UK and US via Palace's retail and online stores. For customers in Japan and China, they'll have to wait until February 4 for a chance to cop.

END. x adidas Bermuda (Bauhaus)

Style Code: HP9393

https://launches.endclothing.com/product/end-x-adidas-bermuda-hp9393

Capturing its modernist vision through the lens of sporting footwear, the duo revisits the classic Bermuda, mirroring the iconic German art school’s penchant for bold typography, geometric shapes and of course - the distinct colour palette.

END. links up with adidas on a bright n bold trio of footwear that taps into the 20th century movement of Bauhaus and its instantly recognisable aesthetic, that has influenced way beyond then. Capturing its modernist vision through the lens of sporting footwear, the duo revisits the classic Bermuda, mirroring the iconic German art school’s penchant for bold typography, geometric shapes and of course - the distinct colour palette. Washed in a pastel blue suede, the leather Three Stripes and heel take on Bauhaus' primary colours and layered forms, while further nods to the movement sit pride of place at the woven tongue patch. To finish END. and the sportswear powerhouse take over the colour pop heels - with metallic gold foiled branding.

ADIDAS

ADIDAS X DILL SAMBA

https://launches.endclothing.com/product/adidas-x-dill-samba-gz4730apr

 

adidas teams up with American professional skateboarder – and co-founder of Fucking Awesome - Jason Dill to create this laid-back version of its signature Samba sneaker. Taking a minimalist approach, the white leather uppers retain similar 3 Stripe characteristics to the OG - with the most notable changes including the gum rubber sole unit being switched out for a translucent one and the Trefoil logo on the tongue, replaced with a gold-tone script ‘Dill’ logo.
