Master collaborators and European sneaker institute Patta team up with Levi’s on a special collaborative collection for Fall 2015 that pays homage to the Amsterdam mainstay’s affinity for 90’s Hip Hop.
Channelling the aesthetic of rap legends including N.W.A and EMPD, the collection looks to traditional silhouettes of the era and applies subtle updates to create a modern take on the classic street uniforms. The collab comprises of three iconic Levi’s styles – the denim Trucker Jacket, 501 Custom & Tapered jeans and Western shirt – as well as distinctive Patta styles such as the Fishtail parka and Coach’s jacket, all of which have been treated with custom black and blue acid washes, with a co-branded two-horse pull back patch on the jackets. To round off the release, both brands have worked on a custom 5-panel cap, available in black and blue colour ways, as well as reworking Patta’s signature bum bag in a premium leather.
The super limited release will be arriving in two deliveries, the first being the black acid wash and the second the indigo colour options. Levi’s x Patta drop one will be available tomorrow (5th of September) on Patta’s web store as well as Hanon and The Hip Store
adidas’ Skateboarding department unveil the Superstar ADV with this clip featuring members of the brands expansive skate team.
In celebration of the classic 90’s silhouette’s skate reincarnation, adidas have put together a short promo clip featuring riders Tyshawn Jones, Chewy Cannon, Benny Fairfax, Jake Donnelly, Dennis Busenitz, Raul Navarro, Nak-el Smith and Miles Silvas exploring spots in Miami and NYC in the shoes.
The shoe itself doesn’t stray too far from the original silhouette. The iconic shell toe and three stripes on the side panels remain, but it has received a few subtle tweaks and modern performance updates to re-engineer and enhance the shoe for skate purposes. The Superstar in its first form was adopted by skateboarders in the early 90’s thanks to its protective rubber shell toe and flat sole, and because of that, just like Nike’s Dunk and Puma’s Suede silhouettes, they played an integral part of that decades skateboarding scene. Perhaps the most notable difference in the new adidas Superstar ADV is it’s weight, with a lighter, less bulky construction on the leather upper which also sees the three stripe branding streamlined on the quarter panels. Cushioning and comfort is important in any skate shoe, and the added drop-in ADIPRENE sock-liner protects the foot upon impact, while the Vector Traction outsole provides enhance grip on the board.
Get a closer look at the new silhouette in the video below and imagery above. The adidas Skateboarding Superstar ADV is available now at www.adidas.com and will be arriving in all good UK skate stores shortly (check back for links).

The long overdue and highly anticipated Cory Kennedy pro shoe from Nike SB is here and its a banger!
Reworking Nike’s classic ‘All Court’ tennis silhouette, the design has been streamlined and materials upgraded into a durable skateboarding staple. Reducing the bulkiness around the All Court’s original rubber toe cap for improved ‘flick’, the shoes upper has constructed from a tough suede for grip and durability. The black upper is complimented with tonal lacing and contrasted with a white snake skin swoosh and heel panel. The shoes stark white sole unit features Zoom Air technology for responsive, spring-like cushioning for protection when landing.
All in all it’s a solid pro shoe from one of best guys in pro skateboarding, both on and off the board. The Nike SB Cory Kennedy Zoom All Court will be available this Wednesday the 2nd of September at Flatspot.
The adidas Skateboarding department have announced their latest collaborative venture as they add Cali’s Welcome Skateboards to the ‘A-League’ with a concise capsule collection.
Having previously worked with the likes of Magenta, Helas and Streetmachine on collaborative releases, adidas now look to Welcome to put their unique stamp on some of the brands staple silhouettes in a football inspired release. Welcome Skateboards are renowned for doing things slightly different to the rest of the pack, with their unorthodox designs and non-conformist approach, they have gained a huge cult following which has seen their boards become some of the most popular on the market.
For the “A-League” capsule, the limited edition CLIMALITE® jersey has been reworked to feature both brands logo designs embroidered on the front and Welcome’s type logo on the back. The classic Adi-Ease silhouette receives an ADV upgrade, arriving in a premium stone coloured full suede on the upper, black leather 3 stripe branding and aqua blue colouring on the stitching and tongue label. Sitting on top of a clean white midsole, the shoe is completed with contrasting black lacing, leather heel panelling, custom insole featuring one of Welcome’s signature graphics and a coffin shaped tongue that is a nod to Welcome’s oddly shaped boards.
To commemorate the release, Welcome have also put together a short edit featuring riders Daniel Vargas, Brandon Perelson and Mark McCoy skating through Tijuana and San Diego. Check it out below…
The Welcome Skateboards x adidas Skateboarding “A-League” capsule will be available online at all good skate stores from the 1st of September.
Brixton have dropped their latest set of visuals to showcase offerings from the Californian brands well rounded Fall 2015 collection.
Something that we have always admired about Brixton is their ability to stick closely to their core values, drawing from the laid back Californian lifestyle, encompassing the music, culture and the people around them, and still managing to deliver exciting collections season after season. Their latest release for Fall 2015 sticks closely to what we have seen from the brand previously, building on their instantly recognisable aesthetic with a collection full of versatile styles.
Headwear remains the staple throughout the Fall collection, which also sees a focus on the outerwear department, ranging from hooded puffer jackets to biker inspired leather jackets. You have the Brixton essentials in the t-shirts, long-sleeves, hoodies and sweaters alongside more considered pieces in the button-down shirts, robust trouser designs and knit options for the colder weather. There is an emphasis on keeping things simple as they reference traditional designs and utilise hard wearing, reliable materials such as corduroy and flannel. Sticking to an autumnal colour palette throughout, all pieces are able to look good on their own or layered as temperatures begin to drop.
The Brixton Fall 2015 collection is available now at select stores including Note Shop, The Chimp Store and 5Pointz
