During a surge of repetitive releases, the guys over at Sneaker Freaker have kept it fresh by putting their touch on a trainer that's just recently re-emerged back into the trainer scene, the Flash, a running model that was originally released back in 1990 and to our knowledge hasn't seen a re-release until now.
We'd previously mentioned in our London Store Opening post that Le Coq Sportif has come back with a bang and we're sure a lot of people would agree with that as their on-going collaborative work is only raising awareness of the 130 year old French brand more and more on a global level and submerging itself into the minds of trainer connoisseurs and collectors alike, anyways let's [...] Read more Tagged: 1990, 2013, Australia, Flash, France, Le Coq Sportif, Sneaker Freaker, summer bay, sydney
It’s hard to believe how long football has officially been around for and this year marks the FA’s 150th anniversary and England’s first ever kit to be produced by Nike and to celebrate this occasion Nike have released two limited edition products, the England destroyer jacket and a pair of Air Max 1 iD's.
Finding any info on these prior to their release was a myth and getting our hands on them wasn’t easy either, well at least not the Air Max 1, as they sold out pretty quick and both were exclusive to the NSW cube in Nike Town London and Harrods in extremely limited numbers.
As soon as we found out that they dropped we were expecting a predominantly white 
After the success of their previous collaboration with Saucony back in March, the Hanon team have created yet another banger dubbed 'The Midnight Runner'. Utilising the same materials as the original release, this shadow master features a colourway more in-keeping with its moniker, with the black, grey and thunder blue upper, the trainer has a meaner aura to it and blends in with its dark habitat slightly better than its predecessor.
For those who may not have seen the first Shadow Masters, The materials are amazing, the plush suede and perforated leather upper mixed in with the addition of the satin lining just killed it, so we're glad to see that Hanon have kept to the same 
To celebrate the launch of their new collaboration with Le Coq Sportif, Footpatrol hosted an event for a select few to preview their ‘Macaron Edition’ Eclats, allowing people to get some hands on time with the trainers before they went on sale to the general public and as expected everyone loved them, including us. The rest of the evening consisted of tasty matching macarons and a lot of gin and tonic that had a few people wavey but all of that mixed in with a few goodie bags made for a great night.
Two days later we were invited back down to the store to shoot the launch and we were glad to see the size of the turnout when we got there in the morning. The first few people in the 
Way back at the beginning of the millennium a guy called Woody decided to put together the first issue of Sneaker Freaker Magazine. Things were very different back then, many of the well established sneaker boutiques we all love today were just starting to trade and the blogs we use to keep track of upcoming releases and drop dates were either non existent or had only just surfaced.
Ten years and 26 issues deep we find ourselves in the present day and Sneaker Freaker’s latest collab is revealed to the world; the New Balance 998 “Tassie Devils”. The name for this collaboration comes from the Tasmanian Devil, a marsupial that is suffering from an epidemic of cancerous facial tumours 
After many a strong collaboration, collections and footwear capsule Adidas and Kazuki Kuraishi have teemed up yet again for Spring/Summer 2013 to present the Retrograde Resistance 84-Lab line.
With the recent retro of old adidas running models its great to see the Torsion Allegra being included in a capsule that has a outdoors utilitarian feel to it, the Allegra features a glossy patent leather that has strong dark colours that bleed through slightly as the shoe is worn in, a mixture of blue, green and red hues can bee seen throughout the photos it's these simply care and attention to details that Kazuki is renowned for mixing classic silhouettes with contemporary design elements. 
Synonymous with football hooligans and drug dealers, Stone Island managed to get away from the stigma they have attracted in recent years and have produced a shoe that wouldn't go a miss as a staple piece accompanying any genre of style, mixed in against some high fashion garments, be seen on the feet of highland trekkers and could easily have be seen worn by the late Steve Jobs. Stone Island have managed to give an upper market feel to the silhouette thus enhancing its universal appeal, incorporating noteworthy details and materials with military-spec satin weave cotton, reflective polyester and a molded rubber N emblem.

Although we’ve had a cold start to our spring, Nike have imported the heat from Brazil to our feet with this vibrant pack of Air Max models, drawing inspiration from the energetic vibes and colours of Rio and its surrounding beaches.
Engineered Mesh is ripe throughout, making five of our favourite silhouettes that little bit lighter and additionally breathable, whilst the minimal stitching nature of the material means that the multiple panels usually found on the models have been replaced by a variation of perforations and colour tones, allowing the exotic colour blocking to look more natural.
Now there rarely comes a time that we like every piece of a collection but after spending 
The Distinct Life is a creative agency owned and directed by Rick Williams, the co-owner of Detroit’s well known sneaker store, Burn Rubber, a store supplying nothing but the most premium products to the good people of Detroit.
Over the years Rick has been involved in a number of high profile collaborations, both through Burn Rubber and TDL and has worked with the likes of Ubiq, New balance and Reebok to name a few, all of which many agree have been seriously on-point. After his previous work with the Burn Rubber crew on the Reebok Classic Leather for its 30th anniversary, Rick was given free reign to do as he pleases with a pair of Reebok Ventilator’s. Rick’s rendition of the 
A few months ago we were all geared up for the release of one of the most anticipated adidas collaborations in recent times but due to unforeseen circumstances the project was temporarily delayed, leaving fans clueless in anticipation and many wondering why.
Well the wait is now over and we must say that the final product easily makes up for the painful and long delay that we’ve all had to endure, however nothing less was expected from the three behemoths as they have all been working with each other for the good part of a decade , creating some of the most memorable and sought after products between them.
The trio’s take on the two models complement the panels on the silhouettes
