Making big changes is never easy, especially when you try to change the established norms that have been around for years. Great changes and innovations are the epitome of the work of this legendary designer of the Japanese brand Asics, who gave the world one of the most important models in history - the Gel-Lyte III, and many more. This world-renowned designer has spent the last almost 40 years trying to equip the world with sneakers that are incredibly stylish, but also comfortable. Shigeyuki Mitsui, som

Basketball in America was behind the birth of sneaker culture much earlier than any sport. Today, the whole world watches the NBA. The influence of the world’s largest basketball league on culture and especially on the visual appearance of urban outfits is always growing, mainly due to its biggest stars. Almost everyone knows who Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant or LeBron James are. However, there were times when it was unimaginable for an African-American to be in the top US basketball league. The immortal leg

In the last few decades, there have been quite a few truly iconic silhouettes in the world of sneaker design. Behind most of them is usually one of two names - Tinker Hatfield or Steven Smith. However, unlike Tinker, Steven has not stayed with one brand and has worked for almost everyone. His career started in 1986 at New Balance and he is currently working with Kanye on the Yeezy silhouettes. Steven with Kanyem, source: hollywoodreporter.com Earning the nickname “Dad of the Dad shoe” His nick

The times when football kits were just a club’s colors and the main sponsor’s logo are long gone. For a lot of teams, they’re mainly an expression of confidence and identity. Which is why each year, we look forward to what our favorite clubs come up with. The 20/21 season is full of unconventional designs and motives that would be very hard to find ten years ago. These are the best kits of this season. REAL MADRID – THIRD KIT Since patterns are featured heavily in this list of kits, this was the

In 2006, the album A Girl Like Me was released. Two singles from the album made the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 2006, with the album itself placing 49th - the then-18 year-old Rihanna (full name Robyn Rihanna Fenty) became the 7th best artist of the year. Back then, I was 10 years old and songs like SOS, Unfaithful and We Ride were on repeat on my MP3. Let’s take a look how Rihanna’s career progressed over the years. 2005 Rihanna’s career began in 2005, when she signed a record deal with De

There’s a lot to be said about the LGBT+ community and Pride. But we’d rather come up with a simple and universal message: Footshop accepts everybody! This is the sentence that best describes our goals and motivation. We also felt this during the photography. We started out as acquaintances and ended up in a family atmosphere. Meanwhile, everything was talked about, literally everything. Without taboos, listening to each other’s opinions and respecting them. We simply had a good time in each other’s

A cultural revolution began in England at the start of the millennium. Garage was past its zenith and a new movement was making its way to the forefront. The clubs were filled with energy that slowly started manifesting into raves. Expensive outfits became less important in the long nights in clubs and they were soon replaced by comfortable sneakers and baggy trousers. And that’s how grime, sometimes referred to as punk 2.0, was born. From the corner to the center of attention If you wanted to timest

Traditionally, June belongs to the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) community. And just like last year, Footshop expresses its full support to those of us that face rejection and contempt from individuals, groups, and even state apparatus. We’re all different. And Footshop is a platform that can advocate for these differences. Explicitly or passively, we try to make the environment we engage in diverse, enriching, and open to discussion that will hopefully lead to an understanding betw

Occasionally, gaming and fashion reach a seemingly unlikely agreement - for example, Louis Vuitton’s collaboration with Fortnite, or the MOSCHINO collection featured in The Sims. The latest installation in the Animal Crossing series, titled New Horizons, which came out exclusively for the Nintendo Switch this March, joins them, albeit with a slight twist. The basis of the game is fairly simple. You move to Tom Nook’s island, and start transforming it how you see fit. Collecting materials, crafting, trav

Some people have Wife Swap, some people have Masterchef, I have TikTok. An app, also called a 'social network', where people from all around the world record up to 60 second long videos. These videos sometimes make sense and sometimes they don't. TikTok's my guilty pleasure, as I'm able to spend 6 hours a day just scrolling through videos, without even making one of my own. Allow me to take you to this corner of the internet, formerly known as Musical.ly. What is TikTok? Thanks to Czech TikTok person

One of the most iconic things associated exclusively with rap music would probably be overly eccentric, custom-made jewelry. Expensive and extravagant clothes is something almost every musician dresses nowadays. “Streetwear” is the mainstream nowadays. But a  big old chain is still one of the privileges of rappers. I’m sure that sometime in the future, we’ll make a summary of the wildest things on the necks and wrists of Czech and Slovakian rappers, but for now, I want to take a closer look at one
