Posted: 03/06/2019

As we approach the half way point of 2019, NIKE has joined the fold, becoming more inclusive than ever before and turning out a new collection that’s all about inclusivity. The Nike BETRUE 2019 collection pays homage to activist Gilbert Baker and his iconic rainbow flag design that 40 years later remains a worldwide symbol for the LGBTQIA community. For the first time, the footwear, apparel and accessories all feature the icon’s original eight-colour flag, a timely homage in this era of diversity and acceptance, that no one is alone. It also celebrates the fact that Baker handmade everything he designed. Nike designers gave each shoe a hand-crafted effect by embroidering symbols including the eight-layer Swoosh on the Nike Air Max 90 BETRUE and the rainbow flag on the Tailwind 79. Get the shoes from Supply and Sneakerboy and the clothes online.

Updated: 08/07/2021

With so many options and types of shoes to choose from, who can blame you for being a little confused while making the right pick? Shoes are magical and it’s true that you can never really have enough of them. The best part is that they always fit even if you eat a lot of desserts! Every shoe has a story to tell but the wrong one can make you look awkward. Here is how you can pair the shows to your outfit seamlessly. Choose according to the occasion People often forget about the purpose of shoes and buy them anyway. It is important to wear the right shoes to match the given occasion. For instance, you should wear running shoes when you wish to practice for a marathon or want to go running. The shoes are designed specially to serve their specific purpose. Not being mindful of this will make you feel uncomfortable. Wear formals for work and events like weddings. Casual shoes can be worn on a daily basis and while going out with friends. Focus on quality Once you pick the right type of shoes for an occasion, you should consider the quality of shoes you are investing in. it is better to buy quality products at the first go rather than buying multiple shoes throughout the year. Shoes that are cheaper in quality are made from materials such as cardboard and glue which naturally deteriorate with time. Buying expensive shoes which will last for decades is a way smarter choice.

Crumpler has gone green with their bags

Crumpler Conversion 1

by

Posted: 24/02/2019

Because the earth is kinda fucked unless we all start changing teenie-tiny things about our lives and the way we live them (as we sit here promoting consumerism #lel), it’s nice to see brands taking a stand. The latest one to join the fold is Crumpler, the Melbourne bag brand that has picked itself up and decided to do something about global green-ness. They’ve intro’d the greener capsule collection of their stuff, called the Conversion range, which is all made from seven tonnes of polyester scrap and cut-offs to reduce a little bit of their footprint. The all-new Conversion series features Crumpler’s signature sleek and functional designs, and includes backpacks, messenger bags, cross-body bags and accessories. Is nice. Check it out at the Crumpler website.
