Following the announcement of the new NikeLab ACG collection, it has been all but confirmed that the highly coveted Nike ACG Air Mowabb will be making a return in 2015. The Tinker Hatfield-designed sneaker made its debut in 1991 and drew inspiration directly from the sportswear giant’s Air Huarache silhouette. The limited edition Quickstrike release follows the Mowabb-inspired iterations of the Air Force 1 CMFT, Dunk High and Huarache Light, and will only be available in very select boutiques around the world – including Shelta, where pre-orders have already sold out.

Diemme Fontesi

Posted on November 18, 2014 | Leave a comment

DI1407FO11_loItalian footwear brand Diemme are very excited to announce the launch of the Fontesi – a mid top unisex sneaker with a diagonal zip closure. The Fontesi’s origin comes from a technical mountain runner, changed to the unrecognisable to give a clean and minimal sneaker with the main feature being the zipper from Swiss supplier Riri that cuts down the upper. For technical reasons the Fontesi has the strongest zipper Riri produces in order to withstand the test of time.

Diemme are using a Kudu Antelope leather in this colourway from UK tannery Charles F. Stead & Co.  Antelope leathers are thick but incredibly soft and as Kudu is an animal that lives in the wild there will be natural scuff marks and distressed areas on this leather. The style features a nappa leather mouth and a calf leather lined footbed. The famed Serena sole, produced by a family run rubber producer in Marche, Italy, that has been making soles since 1952. A sole that is practically impossible to wear down and will last you a lifetime.

adidas Originals introduces the “Sneaker Boutique” pack comprised of the Honey 2.0, two pairs of the ZX 500 and Bankshot 2.0. Across the four sneakers we see a pseudo elephant print adorning each pair in varying degrees of subtlety. The Honey 2.0 makes the most use of the pattern while the dual ZX 500s feature the print as contrast.

Y-3 Spring Summer 15 | The Style Raconteur

Y-3 are smashing in at the moment with this seasons introduction of the Qasa and Boost silhouettes which was going to bw hard to top but they have done it again for the second season on the bounce. They have just unveiled the remaining styles in its latest 2015 spring summer footwear collection. Adopting a predominantly muted colour palette of black and white, the lineup encompasses models such as the new Qasa Retro Boost, Laver slip-on, Held 2 high-top, Kaohe sandal and Kohna Futuristic as well as two of the original Qasa silhouettes. While the sneakers incorporate incognito colours, the materials utilized create an interesting effect like with the rest of the previous releases, where we find neoprenes, suedes and leather accents tastefully adorning different areas. The above boost is the winning style for me. Cop a pair from the AW14 collection herey-3-2015-spring-summer-footwear-collection-01y-3-2015-spring-summer-footwear-collection-03y-3-2015-spring-summer-footwear-collection-04y-3-2015-spring-summer-footwear-collection-05y-3-2015-spring-summer-footwear-collection-06Y3 SS15 | The Style Raconteur

Another week another on point size? exclusive colourway of some description. Shortly after having released its collaborative size? x Nike Air Huarache Light “Mowabb” (which are available here), the UK retailer presents two new exclusive colourways of the sneaker to release soon. The Nike Air Huarache Light “Midnight Forest” Pack consists of a midnight blue colourway of the sneaker on white outer sole and a forest green colorway on white outer sole. Both feature 3M accenting on the laces, with the result being two very clean versions of the sneaker. We have a hard time choosing a favorite, as both are great for the season and very timeless and easy to wear and match. The Nike Air Huarache Light “Midnight Forest” Pack will release in limited numbers on November 7 HERE
