Tip Top Shoes And WEST NYC Celebrate 85th Anniversary With Perfectly Packaged adidas Collaborations

https://sneakernews.com/2025/04/14/tip-top-shoes-west-nyc-adidas-handball-spezial-sl72/

tip-top-shoes-west-nyc-adidas-handball-s

Not many retailers, let alone footwear shops, can say they’ve been in business for 85 years. Tip Top Shoes can. They’ve been an Upper West Side NYC institution for nearly a century, purveying fine dress shoes and other footwear for the community decade after decade, while its sister store West NYC has been purveying goods specifically targeted at the shoe-heads. Iconic is a word that gets thrown around too much, but it applies here.

To celebrate this milestone, Tip Top Shoes/West NYC has partnered with adidas Originals for a two-pair project with thoughtful packaging that tells the stories of each respective shop’s legacy. Tip Top Shoes, known more for leather dress shoes, translates that expertise onto a burgundy and brown colored SL72 embellished with wing-tip oxford styling. West NYC’s take on the Handball Spezial reflects its younger side, with pink-colored boucle and “West Side Best Side” on the heel-tabs.

Adidas slims down their Stan Smith sneaker in new release

Adidas slims down its Stan Smith sneaker

https://www.themanual.com/fashion/adidas-slims-down-their-stan-smith-sneaker-in-new-release/

Adidas-Stan-Smith-Low-Pro-White-JR5700-5

While certain Adidas silhouettes, such as the Superstar and Samba sneakers, have dominated the scene in recent seasons, there are a few designs that have a long-standing history. One of these sneakers, the Stan Smith, has long been a staple in many closets thanks to its versatile look that can easily work in any outfit. While the Stan Smith’s design has long remained the same, a new upgrade sees it more narrow and slim than ever before. Following the trend of slimmer shoes, the new Stan Smith has a thinner sole that verges on the edge of an almost boxing-inspired shoe. Looking to establish its newest footwear star, the new Stan Smith is the ultimate trend shoe that can last for seasons. 

Get low with Adidas’ new Stan Smith sneaker

Adidas-Stan-Smith-Low-Pro-White-JR5700-5

Nicknamed “Adidas Stan Smith Low Pro,” the new Stan Smith sneakers don a thin sole that’s a perfect blend of timeless and trendy. Crafted with a deconstructed leather upper, this retro sneaker comes with a significant change to its sole. The Low Pro has been reduced in height, featuring a sole that measures only a few millimeters. Unlike the original Stan Smith sneaker that comes with a pop of green, the newest release is a monochromatic color palette that comes decked out in just one hue. Available in either black or white, this Stan Smith Low Pro is sleek, minimalist, and ultra-chic. Similar to boxing shoes, this lightweight silhouette is perfect for adding a simple, casual sneaker to your closet. While there is no official word yet on when this Adidas Stan Smith will hit shelves, there’s no doubt it’ll be a major hit.

The adidas Forest Hills trainer was first released in 1976. This silhouette first debuted at one of the biggest tennis tournaments in the Queens, New York neighborhood the shoes get their name from. We paired with adidas to reinterpret the classic pair. Still a low-profile silhouette, they have a hairy suede upper that features 3-Stripes, visible stitching at the heel tab and an Ecotex tongue.

Material: 100% Leather

ADIDAS X UNHEARDOF Rivalry Low Grandma's Couch "Mother's Day"

https://unheardofbrand.com/blogs/news/adidas-x-unheardof-rivalry-low-grandmas-couch-mothers-day

DSCF8805.jpg?v=1746156273

The Last Rivalry.

Mother’s Day is typically a joyous holiday, but for some folks it can be particularly hard.
Especially the first Mother’s Day after losing a loved one. Be it a grandmother, mother,
auntie, sister, or just someone special in your life, it is important to not dwell in grief, but
remember the good times we spent with them. UNHEARDOF wanted to create a shoe that encourages everyone to stay positive during hard times, and to always stop and smell the flowers.

For one last time, Unheardof is revisiting its storied Grandma’s Couch Rivalry Low to
celebrate the life of their matriarch Naomi Phillips. Sitting atop a gum rubber midsole, the
Final Rivalry features premium Baby Pink pig suede in tribute to her favorite flower, the
orchid. Building on the orchid theme, the iconic 3 Stripes are alternating green and red
pig suede, representing the orchid’s stems and growth. The panels are an update of the
beloved embroidered floral couch pattern with a completely new design, unique to each shoe.

The Final Rivalry further honors Naomi with embossed examples of her handwriting. In
addition to her handwritten Adidas branding on the heel tab, Phil Lipschutz’s loving tribute to her states “Dear Naomi” at the forefoot, and the phrase he signed every card with; “Love, Always and Forever” on the heel counter. A fitting way for Phil to give Grandma her flowers one last time!

Adidas X UNHEARDOF Rivalry Low Grandma’s Couch ‘Mothers Day’
JP9906 CLEAR PINK/RED/ $185.00 in Mens Size 4-14
available May 10th 2025 11 AM exclusively in store only at UNHEARDOF

Feng Chen Wang Dials Up the Distress For New Converse Chuck 70 Low Capsule

https://www.sneakerfreaker.com/releases/feng-chen-wang-converse-chuck-70-low-A15741C-price-buy-release-date/

7d8cfc0423fe0dd9b3ca401f6beb2ad0aa4c4f01

No one quite meshes the functional and the conceptual like Feng Chen Wang, and now the designer's heaven-made match with Converse brings us another two exquisitely distressed colourways for the Chuck 70 Low colab series.

It's been seven years since Chinese-born, London-based talent Wang sent her deconstructed and re-stitched Chuck Taylors down the runway at Shanghai Fashion Week to audible gasps (probably!). In the intervening years, Wang and Converse have revived that powerful partnership a smattering of times, and always to fascinating end – and these new offerings are not letting the team down.

One model heads down the brown-tan-cream colourway path, while the other moves towards a slate-blue – and both have a beautifully cracked finish to their gradient, with colour bleeding out onto the midsole and toebox. As for design, both take their cues from the focal point of previous Feng Chen Wang x Converse colabs: the subdivided sole. Super thick and segmented, the sole's cut-outs appear totally disjointed until you spot the canvas's continuation into the upper eyelet panel. Enjoy another perspective-jolt when you see the heel, where the cut-out effect serves a glitchy peek at the underlying black rubber Converse logo.

e3b59e67812ef68015750257dfb939595b32dec7

Both pairs sport Feng Chen Wang branding text along the heel's lateral side in white, as well as laces branded with logo text in slate for the blue pair, and brown for the tan pair.

Fans of this always-engrossing collaborative powerhouse will not be waiting long – the Feng Chen Wang x Converse Chuck 70 Low capsule is all set at a $130 per pair price point for release on May 20, 2025 through the Converse site and select retailers.

If you're fanging for more Converse on-foot, why not revisit Serena Williams' top-shelf cameo at this year's Super Bowl in her A Ma Maniére x Converse Chuck 70s?

Description

To kick off the new, exciting chapter of our journey, we’ve reconnected with longtime partners adidas Originals to introduce the 4th Edition of the SNS GT II. Boasting a premium design with its pinstripe mesh upper and plush suede overlays, the adidas SNS GT II 4th Edition continues to blend our background in Music, Art, and Sneakers, with adidas’ iconic terrace vibes. For the color palette, we looked to flyers spotted around Stockholm's '90s rave scene for inspiration, merging a light blue base with a contrasting darker shade of blue on the classic 3-Stripes and heel counter. Up top, a crisp white tongue gets a burst of energy with bold yellow co-branding for an extra pop of color, while the vintage gold-foil logos on the sidewall and a durable rubber sole unit finish off the look. 

  • adidas SNS GT II 4th Edition
  • Regular fit
  • Pinstripe mesh upper
  • Suede overlays
  • Lace closure
  • Contrast stitching
  • Rubber sole

Ready, Set, Draw! Vans x Yusuke Hanai Connect for Artful Graphic Capsule

https://www.sneakerfreaker.com/releases/vans-yusuke-hanai-old-skool-price-buy-release-date/

vans-x-yusuke-hanai-surf-collection-rele

250521_img02_01.webp

Rooted in Southern California skate culture, Vans have long stood at the intersection of creativity and self-expression. From checkerboard Slip-Ons to cult-loved customs, the brand's silhouettes have become canvas and icon all at once: built for boardfeel, adopted by everyone from outsiders to revered creators.

Now, as part of its ongoing 'Artist Series', the label teams up with Japanese multidisciplinary creative Yusuke Hanai for an expansive collection, inspired by the illustrator's deep ties to 1950s – 70s surf and counterculture.

Known for blending optimism with hand-drawn charm, Hanai creates bold, playful graphics which mix detailed line-work with the artist's warm and inviting style (despite those sulky little faces). Vans and Hanai first joined forces in 2016 and reunited again in 2019.

vans-x-yusuke-hanai-surf-collection-rele

Crafted with eco-conscious materials like renewable canvas uppers and bio-based foam insoles, this collaboration puts the Cali label's Old Skool silhouette at centrestage. A grey 'Stormy Weather' palette runs across the model, while Hanai’s original illustrations, hand-drawn detailing and the motivational phrase 'One Foot In Front Of The Other' appears scrawled on the midsole.

Elsewhere, organic cotton t-shirts made from recycled polyester carry the same playful energy – stamped with Hanai’s signature artwork. The tongue-in-cheek offering also includes shorts, caps and reversible tote bags, all designed with sustainability in mind.

A special launch event is set for May 29 at the Vans Store Harajuku, with live music from Texas 3000, a set by DJ Katoman and signed postcards for the first 50 customers. Pre-sales kick off on the day, ahead of a wider release through Vans stores and select retailers.
