Mo’Wax x Converse Jack Purcell Collection

Posted on October 29, 2014 | Leave a comment

mowax-x-converse-jack-purcell-collection-22Headed by James Lavelle, Mo’Wax was founded in 1992 and quickly became a melting pot of subcultures and musical style, releasing music from the likes of DJ Shadow, DJ Krush and Blackalicious, while also boasting collaborations with NIGO, Futura 2000, Medicom Toys and more. To celebrate two decades of creativity, Mo’Wax teamed up with Converse to present a remake to Lavelle’s favorite silhouettes, the Converse Jack Purcell. The collection consists of the Ox which boasts a unique white debossed leather upper, and the Mid-Top which features a premium stingray leather upper. Both iterations are made meticulously, despite their minimal makeup. “Build & Destroy” are debossed onto the rubber toecaps with iconic camo screen-print graphics (synonymous to Ben Dury’s signature work) take on the cotton base. Metallic gold logos take on the sockliners and heel stay, while an icy blue outsole rounds out sneakers with a bold finish.mowax-x-converse-jack-purcell-collection-3

CONVERSE debuts the Converse Jack Purcell Moto Jacket sneaker collection, elevating the classic Jack Purcell Mid silhouette with premium materials and detailing. The collection delivers iconic product attributes of Converse Jack Purcell, such as the signature two-piece Jack Purcell smile, fused with the edgy aesthetic of a quilted heel accent that mirrors the ribbed padding of a motorcycle jacket. Constructed with a two-piece leather upper and canvas lining, the Converse Jack Purcell Moto Jacket sneaker seamlessly merges style with modern craftsmanship. A post-applied rubber outsole provides a lighter, more flexible sneaker along with a monochromatic appearance in both Black/Black and White/White colourways

Today we get a first look at the next collaboration between Converse and heritage brand Nigel Cabourn. After previously having done the Chuck Taylor All Star Bosey and the Plimsole, Nigel Cabourn worked on the Chuck Taylor 1970 this time. Giving it a white upper and red details and branding, the look is clean and perfect for the summer months that lie ahead. The designer used Ventile fabric for the upper, making the shoes weatherproof, which is a subtle, yet exciting feature on these. The sneakers will release at select retailers on March 21.

While the white version features emerald stitching and a neon yellow outsole, the blue pair goes tonal with its stitch detail to match a vibrantly red outsole. Both models will also come with an alternate set of laces to match its outsole color.

Stephen Cheetham: Sneaker Boxes

Posted on November 11, 2013 | Leave a comment

Sneaker_Boxes_1-516x391

 

Following on from his Nike Decade sneaker artworks, illustrator Stephen Cheetham has turned his attention to another important part of any sneaker collection – the sneaker box…

After some initial research and image searching, Cheetham decided upon a collection of boxes from four of the largest sneaker brands – Nike, adidas, Vans and Converse. Each print shows a collection of boxes from the early days of the brand, through to the more modern boxes that are used today – all stacked as they would be in many a sneaker collectors bedroom.

‘For me it’s very interesting to see how a brand has evolved over the years,’ explains Cheetham, ‘and the box is a key indicator of this evolution. The logos, the colours and the box construction all communicate different aspects of the brand. I wanted to show the box as a product in it’s own right, away from the sneakers that it houses.’

All four Sneaker Boxes prints by Stephen Cheetham are available to purchase online (in a variety of sizes) from the excellent Print Process website now
