New Modern Classic...German Army Sneaker REBORN!




WHITE

FANTASTIC


-German military

trainers are reborn


Preface
Originally worn by the German military in the 1970s, production on these lean and elegant sneakers came to a halt sometime just before the fall of the Wall.






made in GERMANY

In the late 70s and throughout the 80s, adidas provided the armed forces with both boots such as the GSG9 and also training shoes. This is a reintroduction of one of these training shoes - the BW Army - designed for the German military. Using classy leathers and utilising laser perforations instead of overlays, this iconic silhouette is given a clean but recognisable look.

THE FOLLOWERS

This classic design has been copied by Martin Margiela and Dior. A truly classic design - Dior Homme (formerly under Hedi Slimane and now run by Kris Van Asche) and Martin Margiela both have had multiple variations of these shoes in their recent collections. Slim, low profile, devoid of obnoxious branding, they look great with most outfits.

THE INSPIRED

Visvim Spring 2010 Butzi-Folk


We get a first look at an upcoming new silhouette by visvim – the Butzi-Folk. The low top trainer comes in a white leather/brown suede colorway, cork sole and will be released in the near future.

Here is the first look at what Visvim will introduce during Spring with a racing inspired sneaker entitled Butzi-Folk. With no attention to detail or quality left aside the sneaker features a cow hide upper with a suede toe cap. While much of the shape is based on the Foley-Folk you will also notice the same sole construction, and hopefully we can provide with a more detailed look prior to release in April.


THE READERS

Common Projects Summer Achilles 2010


Set to release at the end of the month is a new take on Common Projects classic Achilles model. Named the Summer Edition, the slightly updated sneaker will come with a gum sole and accenting heel tab on the white, black and grey models. The sole is also a little more low profile which was necessarily needed, but turned out quite nice. I never really expected to see an improved Achilles, but being a big gum sole fan, these are looking rather nice. Come spring the sneakers definitely come out a little more often and these will be a top choice for those that can swallow the increasing price tags on Common Projects. They are of course still made in Italy from fine leathers and I’ve yet to hear about somebody having problems with the quality. I particularly like the white version, but the black is really nice too – difficult choices ahead.
