adidas Originals by Originals – Spring/Summer 2010 – David Beckham by James Bond – Milan Launch

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

As superstar English football player, David Beckham, is currently on loan to one of the strongest European leagues, A.C. Milan, it seems nothing but appropriate to launch Beckham’s latest collaborative collection with adidas Originals by Originals (ObyO) line designed by UNDFTD’s James Bond in Milan. The Spring/Summer 2010 collection launch was hosted at Milan’s retail/gallery/cafe creative space, 10 Corso Como. The store front was glowing with the adidas Originals logo on the night of the launch, and both Bond and Beckham made due appearances at the launch. Aside from the official availability of the latest adidas ObyO David Beckham designed by James Bond collection, the night also marked the preview of the Fall/Winter 2010 collection. Check out photos and recap the event and anticipate the next launch. By the looks of it, wherever David Beckham is playing, it seems like that’s where the next collection launch would be.

Missoni for Converse zigzagging to market in April

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

I finally managed to find out some details about the Converse/Missoni collaboration I’d been hearing about since the men’s European runway shows back in June (where a pair were spotted on the feet of a Missoni family member at the label’s runway presentation in Milan).

The classic Chuck Taylor All Star high-top shoe will be served up in two different versions of Missoni’s signature zigzag pattern printed on the sides and tongue, with colors that tie back to Missoni’s Fall/Winter 2010 menswear collection. The circle patch (the design that sits at about the ankle bone of the wearer) is rendered in brown leather, and the traditional “license plate logo” at the heel is monochrome.

In the prepared press materials, Missoni’s creative director Angela Missoni explained the decision to use the Chuck Taylor All Star silhouette: “It’s mythical to me; [it's] the one that girls and boys of all times have liked to wear and is still the coolest today.”

The Missoni for Converse Chuck Taylor All Star kicks will retail for $200 and be available to the public in early April. They will be sold at the Missoni boutiques in New York City and Beverly Hills, Jeffrey (in New York and Atlanta) as well as select boutiques internationally.
