This actually isn’t the first time that the Kobe, Japan-based brand has applied a grayscale approach to this silhouette, but we haven’t seen this particular colorway before. The mixture of materials is very similar to previous GEL-NYC releases; the predominantly “Black” upper is nicely contrasted by a shiny silver overlay, and “Graphite Gray” appears throughout the sole, with a nice gradient shift at the midsole.
Converse and Todd Snyder have created a new collection that’s a thoroughly modern mash-up of streetwear (hoodies, joggers) and elite wear (tweeds and British Millerain’s waxed cotton). Since launching his eponymous label in 2011, Todd Snyder has redefined how modern American men can present themselves to the world in stylish, unexpected ways.
From luxurious takes on essential items to bespoke tailoring, Snyder’s creations show that good style can be attainable and even playful.
Made with fabric from British Millerain, Todd Snyder’s new Chuck 70 blends storied sophistication with iconic street style while he has once again re-worked the Jack Purcell. This time outfitting the casual classic with British Millerain waxed canvas and a distinct camo print.
First known as the Vans #36, the Old Skool debuted in 1977 with a unique new addition: a random doodle drawn by founder Paul Van Doren, and originally referred to as the “jazz stripe.” Today, the famous Vans Sidestripe has become the unmistakable-and instantly recognizable-hallmark of the Vans brand. Constructed with durable suede and canvas uppers in a range of fresh colorways, the Old Skool pays homage to our heritage while ensuring that this low top, lace-up shoe remains as iconic as ever. It also features re-enforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
