adidas Skateboarding x Ari Marcopoulos

 

 adidas' Skateboarding department have combined with photographer Ari Marcopoulos on a small capsule release which draws from the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple. The release includes a zine, limited edition rework of the brands skate ready Seeley silhouette and accompanying apparel, all of which takes inspiration from Ari's signature documentary style photography and self-published zines. The stand-out from the collection is the unique take on the Seeley, which has been reworked with a full-grain leather upper and a woven lining for increased comfort. The numbered graphics along the piping of the sole unit represent those on a film contact sheet, while the “Aight” patch on the tongue is taken from the masthead of Ari's zine by the same name.

 The adidas Skateboarding x Ari Marcopoulos collection is available now online at adidas.co.uk.

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).
