Earlier this year Berlin based Solebox collaborated with Saucony on a pair of A3's. The two sneaker entities have hooked up again. This time the pair have created a sneaker, which combines the upper of the Saucony Shadow 90 on the sole of the Shadow 5000. The upper comes in black with red accents on a white midsole on a grey outsole.
Expect to be able to find the sneakers between November and December.
The latest collaborative release from Berlin based sneaker Solebox is again with with adidas. Given the the fact that Solebox is located in Berlin, the shop chose the adidas Berlin as the their model of choice.
Solebox chose to base their rendition of the Berlin on the sneaker's original colorway. The original make-up can actually be seen on the inner lining of the sneaker. The kicks also feature Solebox branding on the tongue, the side panel in gold and the birthdays of the owners (Hikmet & Suekret) on the inner lining.
Look for the sneakers to release on the 17th of October 2009 in limited numbers at Solebox.
Remember the Solebox Flashing Laces? Solebox is at it again, this time on a model from the Reebok Pump line. No the laces are not illuminated but the Pump ball on the tongue can be lit like a light bulb.
On Monday we posted a teaser of a Solebox sneaker project with an unknown brand, it know seems clear that Solebox is hooking up with Reebok.
