To commemorate the cinema release of Hellbot II: The Golden Army, helmed by Guillermo Del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) and based on the Dark Horse comic by Mike Mignola, the clever kids at Adidas Originals have teamed up with origin based publisher as well as Universal Studio’s and released a couple of kicks in its honour.

Pink, Yellow, Blue, Green in NOW
Reebok Freestyle’s were originally introduced in 1982 and designed for aerobic exercise. They quickly surged Reebok into the mainstream athletic wear market and fashion scene along with becoming one of the most popular athletic shoes of all time. In 1984, the shoe accounted for more than half of Reebok’s sales. As a result, the Freestyle became a 1980s fashion icon. Actress Cybill Shepard wore a bright orange pair, with a black strapless gown, at the 1985 Emmy Awards. Some women would own more than one color of Freestyles allowing some to wear two different colored shoes like white and black or red and yellow. This trend occurred after the Punky Brewster television series. Everyone knows how cool she was so take her lead, come grab them in the brights and get your mix and match on! Available now (more…)

The latest collab to come out of Vans is the Niagara Skate Hi and Classic Slip on, for those who are new to Niagara, she is a painter/provocateur who fronted the punk band Destroy all Monsters. The skate high resembles her usual portrayal of Women - tough, sexy and bad to the bone, while the classic slip on is more romantic but features the slogan “I’m not your bitch” across the front. With so many males dominating the sneaker scene, this collaboration shows that it’s not just a boys game. In store now
