Someone like Travis Scott doesn't need any kind of introduction. For the last couple of years he's held the top spot in rap music, which shows if you look at his contracts with brands like Nike. The times when Nike wanted to do signature models exclusively with athletes are long gone, and Travis is one of the people that confirms that „rappers are the new athletes“. Apart from a ton of Air Jordan IV's and AF1's ('Uptowns'), Travis has collaborated on a lot of other sneakers, and today we'll take a look at
The GEL-KINSEI™ silhouette was released in 2006 and was one of the most technically-minded running shoes on the market.

The Californian rapper Tyga can boast countless hits and musical collaborations with some of the best of his genre. Whatever opinion you may have on his music, you have to admit that rap and sneakers, and by extension streetwear itself, goes together, and that Tyga is living proof of that. It's been some time since Tyga released his debut mixtape in 2007, and just like his music, his dress sense went through a certain evolution. Let's take a look at some of his most interesting pieces of streetwear, as s
These days, we give our environment a hard time - we let a lot of materials and produce go to waste. A coffee or lunch to go is a common thing, same as throwing half of the lunch along with its packaging in the trash. Sneakers and apparell are a specific category that we frequently buy, often in large quantities, and say goodbye to in a matter of months. Sustainable, or slow fashion is a response to producing clothes at the lowest cost possible, without considering the effects it has on the environmen
The most important day of the school year isn't the one where you get your final report or when you graduate. It's the first day, when you return and spend the next ten months in a room with the same people. Because the way they remember you from the first day of school is the way they'll remember you for the rest of the year. Get inspired by the Footshop crew, who, although they've already finished their studies, would pass the first day with flying colors. the Rap Nalgene bottle (15 euro) should be
It's quite common among global brands to collaborate with moviemakers so that their products can land a small part in a movie - it's called 'product placement'. On the other hand, the actors have to act in something, and even a "basic" sneaker can be a means of building character. I found six pairs of sneakers that have not only appeared in popular movies/TV shows, but that you can also buy in our online store. Forrest Gump (1994) Model: Nike Cortez Nike's Cortez silhouette is one of the most i
The brand's history starts in Anaheim, where Paul Van Doren and his brother Jim made their first sneakers in 1966. 704 E. Broadway, California, was unique because they not only made the sneakers there, but also sold them. The first 12 pairs reached their owners on the 16th of September 1966. "Anaheim Factory Pack" is a reference to the very same factory where the first Vans were made, and now you can choose from several silhouettes from this history-inspired drop. Back in 1966, the world didn't

New Era, which has been the sole supplier of caps for the American MLB for several years now, is releasing a new MLB collection, which means you can now rock the logos of teams such as the Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees. You can also expect new, fall-inspired colorways. The fact that we're halfway through July serves as a reminder that the crazy heatwaves we've been witnessing are slowly leaving us, and that autumn is slowly on its way. Luckily, baseball caps aren't just
