Titolo x Le Coq Sportif Mellow Mint R1000

Posted by Adam McManus · November 14, 2016

After a successful first collaboration in 2015, Le Coq Sportif and Titolo are working together again for December 2016.

"To celebrate Titolo Store's 20th anniversary in 2016, we have partnered once again with long-standing friend Le Coq Sportif to create our version of the LCS R1000" explains Italo Titolo, the store’s founder.

With its play on contrast in peach and mint, the LCS R1000 Mellow Mint is a refreshing burst of colour for the winter season. The sneaker combines both smooth and perforated peach- coloured nubuck on a mint sole. Elegant details, such as mint lining and a transparent peach sole base add to this sneaker’s soft contrast. The round Titolo anniversary logo features on the right shoe tongue while Le Coq Sportif’s triangular logo features on the left. This play on opposites is also seen on the heels of this special anniversary edition.

The Totolo x Le Coq Sportif R1000 will be available in female sizing only on 10th December 2016 at 10am in store and online. Priced at $200.

BODEGA x SAUCONY ORIGINALS ELITE SHADOW 5000 REISSUE

Posted by Adam McManus · October 10, 2016

Back in 2010, when the Saucony Elite concept was conceived, the original plan was for these luxurious reinterpretations of classic silhouettes to be released exclusively through high-level Japanese retailers. Boy, were people unhappy to hear that. While Saucony Elite shoes ultimately did not end up exclusive to Japan, they remained rather difficult to come by.

We’re happy to say, even six years later, that the Bodega entry into the Saucony Elite series, the suede, color-blocked Shadow 5000 remains a coveted property. As part of their ongoing tenth anniversary celebrations, the cavernous Bodega vaults have been entered, a la Tomb Raiders or Indiana Jones, and combed through. Intrepid explorers have returned to the surface with the Saucony Elite Shadow 5000.

The good news is, the shoes look as good as ever. The bad news is, they’re still a limited release. They’ll be going back into our version of King Tut’s tomb when this is all over, and who knows when the next time we’ll pull them out will be? No one particularly likes going down there; it smells weird.

Adidas Originals Gazelle

Posted by Adam McManus · September 03, 2016

First introduced into the Adidas line in 1966 the Adidas Gazelle is a shoe that has stood the test of time. Reincarnated generation after generation its timeless simplicity is as relevant today as it has ever been.

This season sees the re-release of the iconic Gazelle 91. Following in the footsteps of the Adidas Superstar and Stan Smith revival, the Gazelle 91 is set to be the Adidas Originals must-have for the foreseeable future.

In the 70's icons such as Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Michael Jackson in his Jackson 5 days were regularly photographed rocking Adidas Gazelles.

In the 80's the Gazelle was uniform for football casual culture in the UK and the emerging B-Boy scene in New York and beyond. The bright colour ways and plush suedes ushering a new era of sneaker that transcended culture.

Come the early 90s, the west coast skate scene had picked up on the Gazelle but the real explosion was yet to come with the Brit pop scene in the UK introducing a whole new army of fans to the silhouette. Oasis, Blur and the 'cool Britannia' set such as Kate Moss making the Gazelle 91 a staple part their wardrobe.

The 90s version was chosen as the 2016 retro for its cultural impact during that decade. Crafted meticulously with the same materials, colours, textures and proportions as the original 91 release, the Adidas Gazelle is back in front of a modern audience.
