Kanye West x adidas Originals YEEZY BOOST 350

After igniting a global sensation with the launch of YEEZY Season 1 this past February during New York Fashion Week, and subsequent release of the YEEZY BOOST, Kanye West and adidas Originals have come together again to release the YEEZY BOOST 350. The new sneaker is composed of beautiful yet simple materials, speaking to Kanye’s ambition of creating a clean, modern and effortless template for footwear and apparel.

The trainer combines the adidas BOOST’s highly responsive properties with an upper composed entirely of adidas’ Primeknit, a breakthrough material developed using the latest digital engineering methods to fit like a second skin, to ensure that the wearer’s every step is hyper-charged with an endless supply of light, fast energy. By fusing adidas’ unparalleled engineering with a timeless aesthetic, the YEEZY BOOST 350 presents a fearless step into the future of style.

The Kanye West x adidas Originals YEEZY BOOST 350 will hit stores globally on June 27th retailing for $200. It will also be accessible through the adidas Confirmed app in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Definitely going to cop these!! 😉

Coach X Peanuts Summer 2015 Collection

I’m so excited for this second rendition of Coach and Peanuts! The latest Coach X Peanuts collection is part of a series of limited edition projects celebrating the New York luxury brand’s heritage and lightness of spirit. Creative Director Stuart Vevers uses Schulz’s iconic drawings of Snoopy and the gang to create an even edgier, more urban iteration of these childhood favorites.

The summer collection features Snoopy and his best pal Woodstock on satchels, totes, duffles, backpacks and more. Embossed and printed on Coach’s Retro Glove Tan cowhide, the collection is available in the original color palette of white, black, “Woodstock yellow,” and heritage Saddle—plus a playful new blue. Graphic, black-and-white versions of Coach’s Campus Backpack and Pack complement the streetwise vibe of the designs and call to mind Schulz’s original pen-and-ink drawings.

Each bag in this exclusive, limited edition collection will come with a signature Coach Storypatch. Coordinating accessories and novelty items include folios, wallets, hangtags, key fobs, turnlock bracelets, buttons, and luxe leather Snoopy dolls.

Coach X Peanuts launches online at Coach.com starting today. Users in select countries will also be able to shop the collection directly on the Coach App. LOVE IT!

PUMA x Vashtie Spring/Summer 2015 Collection

A couple of nights ago I stopped by Webster Hall to support my friends, Vashtie Kola and PUMA, on their collaboration debut. The Spring/Summer 2015 collection consists of a range of unisex apparel pieces and classic footwear inspired by NYC nightlife and the urban music and lifestyle scene of the 80’s and 90’s era. It pays homage to that time in style history, while integrating key PUMA classic styles like the Suede and T7’s. Love the iridescent pieces and of course the black & gold looks too! Can’t wait to rock them all!!

The collection launches this Saturday, February 28th at revolveclothing.com, Epitome, Bait and select PUMA Labpowered by Foot Locker locations.

“When PUMA reached out I was immediately interested in this collaboration as I grew up following the brand. As a child I was drawn toward skate boarding and alternative music and looked to PUMA for fashion trends. I’m excited to create this collection that pays homage to my childhood and New York’s underground scene. ” – Vashtie Kola

adidas Originals by Rita Ora Spring/Summer 2015 Super Pack

Continuing from their successful collaboration last year, adidas Originals and Rita Ora, launches their latest Spring/Summer 2015 Super Pack lookbook. The new collection definitely packs a punch with all the bold colors and “pop art graphics exploding across a pack that screams optimism, confidence and positivity.” Think ‘Kapow’ comic book inspired graphics that draw on Rita’s features: signature red lips, feline eyes and platinum-blonde hair across shiny tricots, slinky mesh and super soft jerseys.

The iconic Superstar sneaker meets an audacious All In One via a gold Visor united by a dynamic colour palette of playful primaries and a burst of exuberant personality. Key items in the collection include: Super All-in-One, Super Shorts, Superstar 80s W, Super Hoodie, and Super Logo Tee. Pretty crazy collection right? I’m not usually a colorful dresser but def like a splash of loudness at times, cool. The collection launches officially on March 1st at adidas Originals stores andadidas.com.
