Berlin based sneaker shop Solebox has been very busy recently with a slew of collaborative sneaker releases. The releases have ranged from Pro Keds to adidas and New Balance.
Now the sneaker shop has posted teaser images of their next sneaker collaboration that don't give a very clear idea of what they have in mind. We will keep you posted when we have more information.
As the fall season is now in full swing, we see another pack of sneakers designed around the theme of the great outdoors. The classic Saucony Shadow 6000 runner is the model of choice for the pack. As you can imagine, the sneakers come in natural base tones like brown, green and grey with popping contrast tones like red, orange and yellow.
The midsoles feature a speckled look and the inner-lining maintain the outdoors theme. Check your local shops that carry Saucony sneakers for availability.

Drawing inspiration from a certain sneaker silhouette or even taking the complete sneaker to create something new with its design is nothing new anymore. We all know the story of examples like the Bapestas, ALIFE Everybody Hi's, ...
Now a new sneaker from MACKDADDY has released. After taking a first look at it, it is kind of obvious that inspiration in terms of design was drawn from Air Jordan III (3)'s. Proportions may vary, but for the main part one can tell that this must have been the influental sneaker!
The MACKDADDY Mack Boyz Shoe comes in two different synthetics upper colorways beeing black and red. On the tongue the a "M" with a Skate banner is embossed.
They are availble at select retailers that hold MACKDADDY products like arkwax (JP)
Read on for more detailed images of both colorways!

If you know about the history of adidas and Puma you are undoubtably aware of the feud between Adolf Dassler and Rudolf Dassler. In the 1920's the two brothers created a company producing athletic footwear, however just after the end of the Second World War the company was dissolved.
In 1948, Adi Dassler set up adidas and Rudolf Dassler set up Puma in the Bavarian town of Herzogenaurach. The rivalry extended to the entire town based on employment.
Sadly the two brothers never reconciled their differences. However, the two companies they started are making peace with a friendly football match between the two companies in Herzogenaurach, where the rivalry is still alive. The event marks the first time the two companies have ever collaborated in their 60 year existence.
The match is set for tomorrow the 21st of September.
Today, neither side of the Dassler family plays a major role in either brand with Puma owned by French luxury conglomerate PPR and adidas is a publicly traded company with a diverse ownership.

The Vulture Saddle Sneaker comes in a suede upper with beige, creme or grey base featuring brown, beige or cinder contrast nubuck panelling with decent perforations from the lace section towards the side panel.
Both colorways feature a gum midosle that adds up pretty well to the rest of the sneaker.
