Converse Mountain Club, ready for your winter adventure
If you read this blog, you're probably the type of person that never takes their sneakers off, even in the winter. It's true that winter isn't such a big deal for inhabitants of bigger cities like Prague, as sub-zero temperatures are pretty rare around here (still, you never know - a giant snow storm might be just around the corner). But why wear chunky winter boots when you can put on a pair of Converse sneakers from their new Mountain Club collection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGNXySm
Why ASICS are the yin yang for your feet

The Japanese brand is known mostly for its specialised sneakers. Their design is always lively, but the emphasis is put on the practical utility, which is partly why they're a favorite not only amongst runners. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuTDB2lnqmc High heels are probably never be popular for use on the treadmill, but running shoe

Puma presents a new take on older sneakers
Back in the 80´s, the FAST RIDER runner silhouette from Puma used to be everywhere. The iconic retro shoe that combined a runner aeesthetic with streetwear is making a comeback right now, with the STYLE RIDER and FUTURE RIDER models. These days, vintage sneaker silhouettes are very popular. Of course, no one expects you to put on a dusty 30-year old pair of shoes – brands re-releasing and reimagining their most iconic sneakers is commonplace. A new addition to this trend are the STYLE RIDER and FUTU

Let your inner Basquiat come in

Christmas Ideas vol. I
The older we get, the less it sucks to find a soft present under the Christmas tree. If you're at that age when a big mysterious-looking box doesn't get you all hyped up anymore, you should take a look at our selection of socks, because you can never have too many of them. Especially if you don't live at your parent's place anymore. There's two types of people. The ones that only wear black or white socks, and those that make their socks full-fledged parts of their outfit. I'm sure we can all agree that
Artspace Vnitroblock: Fuggi
Recycled sneakers from Footshop tell the story of a man on his travels. Moving masses and traces of humanity, encounters in time, lines of fate imprinted on Earth, the layering of history in deposits of the past, cycles of evolution in constant motion… Traces of thoughts stuck on the roads, invisible barefoot touches, the matured matter of our bodies there is now waste in pools of creation. Why is that machine? Sprout of tree evolution, limb protruding from the galaxy, random cluster in the nebula of pr

The second Converse Renew collection recycles your old jeans once again
The new Converse Renew collection heavily focuses on the issues of sustainability once again. The brand is constantly improving their methods of manufacturing clothes while simultaneously trying to be gentle to the environment.

Footshop and KangaROOS present their second collaborative effort
Originally, our plan was to make a limited Friends and Family edition as our second collaboration with Kangaroos. But after a slight misunderstanding last year, we agreed to make the sneaker publicly available, so here it is. During the celebration of our first store's fifth anniversary, we presented the Footshop x KangaROOS Ultimate 3 “Flip”. ph: Adam Bakay Our work with the German brand KangaROOS started last year, when we created a new colorway for the Ultimate 3 silhouette.
