Mesh heavy on the upper with faux suede, Solebox have managed to turn in a premium light weight shoe. The beautiful black, blue and gum colour combo is only upped by the clever inner details of the shoe, where you will find the original three stripes of the berlin.
BODEGA x BOSTON SUPER – $220.00 NZD
The Boston Super is the bigger and better brother of the Boston shoe, which at the time heralded the advancement of technical excellence in a running shoe.
The Boston Super took elements of the Boston and made it better. The light sensitive three panel on the side, ghilly lace system, reflective piping and not to mention the classically pleasing colourway. Bodega is Super.
SOLESERVICE x OSLO – $180.00 NZD
This Soleservice shoe marks the collaborative debut with Adidas Consortium.
The guys at Soleservice have kept their effort simple and clean, focussing on materials and subtlety. Light grey/blue suede signals premium quality while the gold and yellow accents suggest and eye for considered design.
