Representing the very best of Southern Germany, Munich-based fashion house A Kind of Guise has teamed up with adidas Consortium to offer a collaborative capsule collection for this year’s fall/winter season. Modeled around the base of a timeless 1980s silhouette, the “New York” sneaker combines the aesthetic interests of both parties through a combination of high quality fabrics and updated design ideals. Available in two colorways, each sneaker retains its iconic mesh bound midsole and features a rich suede counter band with an intricate waffle piqué weave accentuating the toe box and tongue detail. The design’s insole and heel tab gazette the collaboration’s acorn-themed graphic insignia and align well with other pieces from the capsule. The adidas Consortium x A Kind of Guise “New York” pack is scheduled to launch October 31, with more information available directly at A Kind of Guise’s official website.

Air Jordan 11 Retro “Concord” Replica Made of LEGO®
One of the most important sneaker releases of all time – the Air Jordan 11 “Concord” edition – has been here immortalized by artist Tom Yoo in a form not often seen: with LEGO® bricks. Drawing influence from Tinker Hatfield’s now-infamous design, which was the first to introduce patent leather on an athletic shoe, Yoo has iterated an eerily precise version of the sneaker in toy brick. Perhaps the most impressive aspect here is the use of a specially-made translucent ‘Ice’-colored brick, which composes the entirety of the outsole. While not immediately going to productions, LEGO-loving sneakerheads can support a full production run of the project on LEGO® Ideas.
