Having previously combined on a vibrant revamp of the coveted SB Dunk High Nike SB and Thomas Campbell come together once again on a slightly more understated collaborative release involving the ever popular Janoski. Californian native Campbell has been tightly associated with the SB brand for a while now, having art directed the brands recent Chronicles Vol. 3, Nike solidify the relationship with another unique take on a classic silhouette, paying homage to the artists signature style.

Aligning with the aforementioned Dunk, the Janoski arrives with a patchwork inspire pattern applied to the side panels and heel wrap, finished with a creamy suede applied to the rest of the upper. Complimenting laces, white swoosh, signature Janoski logo patch on the tongue and a stark white sole unit completes the shoe, which is available to purchase now over at size.co.uk now.

adidas Skateboards Matchcourt Mid UNC x Marc Johnson

 

 adidas Skateboarding have unveiled a new variation of the popular Matchcourt Mid, combining with global rider Marc Johnson on the design. Announcing the release with a comical sitcom style commercial dubbed "On Your Marc", which follows Marc and his shoe's unbreakable bond, it's the first shoe from Marc since his controversial move from Lakai to adidas.

 Fusing style and functionality, the latest update to the classic Matchcourt maintains its performance features such as the moulded PU sockliner for comfort and cushioning upon impact. Aesthetically, it's one of our favourite reworks of the shoe to date, which has been draped in a premium pig nubuck suede in Pantone 542 - the same blue used by the University of North Carolina, giving a nod to MJ's native state. Additional details include contrasting white leather three stripe branding, rubberised toe cap and lacing, rounded off with a subtle gold foil MJ branding on the side panels. 

 The adidas Skateboards Matchcourt Mid UNC x Marc Johnson is available now online and at select retailers including Attitude

Vault by Vans x Our Legacy

 

Vault by Vans have combined with high-concept Swedish menswear brand Our Legacy on a pretty extensive range of footwear and apparel, which draws from the hardcore punk scene on the west coast. 

 The capsule sees several iconic silhouettes from Vans revived with bold orange, white and black colour treatments, simplistic detailing and premium material application - which combines suede and military grade nylon. Alongside the footwear selection they've also offered up a range of timeless apparel styles, including graphic tees, long-sleeve tees, hoodies and lined coach jackets, all of which align with the trainer designs. 

Our Legacy co-founder Jockum Hallin had this to say on the release...

 “Vans approached us and gave us, after some persuasion, free hands to design a full collection for them. I grew up in Sweden in the early ’90s on hardcore music, on skate, snow, and surf culture, dreaming of what was going on in the States. The collection is like curated pieces from that era of my life, put into a modern context."

The Vault by Vans x Our Legacy collection arrives at select Vault accounts including END. tomorrow (Saturday the 25th of February).
