Vegan sneakers: What are they and why should you buy them

If I said that veganism is a trend, you’d probably close this tab and probably refuse to read a single other post of mine. Being vegan ISN'T a trend. It’s a lifestyle based not only around your diet, but also the products you use. That means cosmetics, clothing, shoes and much more (candles, for example). Vegan products are often more considerate of the environment, because they’re, for example, not made from real leather or other materials that burden our planet. Right now, sustainability and the environm

Behind the scenes footage from the AJ V Toro Bravo bullfight

The extraordinary Air Jordan V Toro Bravo are guaranteed to make an immediate impression. And after taking a 12 year hiatus, they're back. The man behind the design is none other than Tinker Hatfield, Nike's designer who worked with Michael Jordan on other legendary silhouettes such as the AJ3 and the AJ11. We documented Tinker's work in our article full of information about the release, as well as a video showcasing growth and a tireless desire to improve, which are values closely associated to not only t

On Feet: the three stripes steal the spotlight

If your cliché detectors go off the charts while reading this post I’m sorry, but I just had to. New silhouettes from the ZX series have been releasing fairly often during the past two years, but so far, I haven’t registered such a high and consistent count of really good models. In fact, three of them made the traditional weekly selection of the best releases. Now, you can admire them along with the highly hyped adidas x Bape collab or the new Nike Air Pegasus in this week’s batch of on feet photos. Enjoy

Celebrating Star Wars Day with iconic LEGO sets

Traditionally, Star Wars Day is celebrated on May 4th, as a reference to Obi Wan Kenobi’s immortal quote, “may the Force be with you” (get it?). This year, Footshop teamed up with (slightly unconventionally) LEGO for the occasion - we’ve prepared some inspiration for your outfits, as well as several important times Star Wars influenced the world of streetwear in these past few years. Last year, when LEGO appeared on Footshop’s website for the first time, side by side with highly limited sneakers, it mig

On Feet: adidas Campus South Park, Asics x Coca Cola, Air Jordan 4 Retro UB

This week’s On Feet selection includes representatives of three brands that vastly differ in style, appearance, materials and origin, taking us on a journey from Germany across Japan all the way to the United States - this might very well be the most diverse On Feet yet.

Karhu’s All Around Pack is in the rhythm of retro

Over a century ago, in 1898, a Finnish company named Karhu, which means bear, started making beer. Although the only thing they have in common with the sneaker brand is their name, I suppose you could crack open a cold one and keep yourself hydrated while sporting in the new Karhu All Around Pack - the brand’s history is closely connected to decathlons for over 100 years now. Karhu is unparalleled in the ability to profile itself in the best possible ways. The brand’s history closely resembles universit

Discover the addictive On Running sneakers

Here at Footshop, we just received a big batch of Swiss running sneakers that, apart from an incredibly comfortable, patented technology providing the smoothest of movements, also features a surprisingly elegant streetwear aesthetic. Let’s take a closer look at On Running. Everyone bases their opinion on specific sneakers based on something else. Including me, and hollowed out midsoles definitely weren’t my thing. So when I met the On Running sneakers for the first time a couple years ago, I wasn’t part

The raging bull, AJV Toro Bravo, returns after 12 years

He nimbly moves towards his goal with a furious look in his eyes, unwavered by emotions. His enemy, knowing he has nowhere to hide, accepts defeat as the only possible outcome. We’re not talking about a conflict between a bull and a desperate toreador. This is how the NBA ‘89/90 season looked like, when opposing teams had no choice but to bear witness as Michael Jordan unleashed an endless barrage of dunks and three-pointers upon them. In response to this almost superhuman form of history’s best basketball

On Feet: adidas x SW Superearth, AJ 1 Hyper Royal, AF 1 Pixel and more

The third week of April presents us with a combination of high, low, useful and barely usable models.
