Kim Jones: the genius who wants retire streetwear

Fashion is aesthetic beauty. And fashionable clothes often go together with more fashionable clothes.

adidas ZX 10,000 Schokohase a chocolate on the border of the law

“Retro shoes that evoke an Easter atmosphere all year round.” Those were adidas’s words of introduction for the ZX 10,000 Schokohase colorway. You can unpack these sneakers just like you would unpack a chocolate Easter bunny. And because we believe that the best chocolate looks as good as it tastes, we met KristyJan Chocolatiers, who created pralines tailored specifically to this silhouette. As you look through the glass counter, you can admire a selection of pralines. Meanwhile, behind another pane of

Remembering the ways Paul Van Doren changed the world

Apart from beautiful sneakers, projects and innovations, the world of sneakers also sometimes brings bad news. On May 6th, one of the pioneers of sneaker culture, and the person without whom many people’s sneaker collections would be much smaller passed away at the age of 90 years. In 1966, Paul Van Doren and his brother founded the Van Doren Rubber Company, later known and globally recognized as Vans. On the West Coast, the sixties were an era full of freedom, youthful energy and technological advancem

Dr. Martens – shoes with a voice

When I first started going to festivals, I used to wonder how people could spend all day walking around in heavy, leather boots, as I’d always wear like a pair of canvas sneakers. Well, today I’m that much wiser. The Dr. Martens 1460’s been around for sixty years, and they’re definitely not going into retirement anytime soon. At this point, I don’t need to introduce you to Dr. Martens. We wrote about them here, and also here. Durable but comfy, with a distinct look and countless collaborations under the

On Feet: the anti-hype edition

This part of the On Feet series will be a bit different. Usually, you’ll find the most anticipated releases of the week here, captured by Petr ‘Kovo’ Kováč - these sneakers are, for the most part, backed by hype. The problem is that seeing all these pairs of cool sneakers is spoiled by not being able to buy them anymore, as they’re sold out - or they just remind you of your last unsuccessful attempt at winning the raffle. So today, I’ll instead be writing about three sneakers that are readily available and

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

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. Although Nike may have the most shoes on the list, this time the biggest release is the work of the brand with the three stripes. But you probably already know what this article will be about, so let’s not delay and jump right into it - “it” being the best new pieces Footshop had (or maybe even still have) during the last few days. ADIDAS ZX 8000 X SEAN WOTHERSPOON „SUPEREARTH“ In recent years,
