Sneaker Cube

Sneakercube is a personal design project by Graphic Artist, Art Director & Designer, Pawel Nolbert.

“Simply, I take a sneaker that I love & I re-envision it as a cube. It’s also a creative way to represent my wish list of sneakers, or some of my favourite sneakers I own.”

Each sneaker is shown along with the original one.
Sneakercube was created for appreciation of footwear design & minimalistic aesthetics.

Rappers Kicks

Back before every rapper out there wanted to be a sneakerhead, individual MCs were associated with one particular shoe. Snoop Dogg came on the scene rocking Chucks in classic West Coast form, Ghostface Killah proclaimed the arrival of the Wally Era, and Nelly told us all about his Air Force 1s. Four Pins ran through these rappers and more, and ranked each-apparently out of the top 2,500 rapper/shoe connections. Click through to check out the illustrations and let us know in the comments who your picks are for the other 2,495.

Adidas x Shaniqwa-Jarvis

Following on from our previous post about the adidas Consortium 'Your Story' project, the second of the five-shoe releases happened on Saturday, and included this ZX500 silhouette designed by London-based photographer Shaniqwa Jarvis.

The 'Your Story' project sees nine creative’s collaborating on a range of silhouettes from the Consortium F/W11 collection. Chosen from Olympic cities around the world, the selected creative partners were asked to take inspiration from their own past Olympic memories, translating them on to a shoe. (A&S)

 



Afew x Koi Klub x Asics Gel Lyte III ‘Reworked’

Thanks to standouts like Ronnie Fieg’s tonal mastery, 24 Kilates’ delicious packages and the various guest spots from European boutiques, the Asics Gel Lyte III collaborations have come to signify top-notch quality.  But even those notable drops have an uphill climb to catch up with at least a portion of the upcoming tag team effort from Afew and Koi Klub.  These new images depict the Afew x Koi Klub x GL3 being assembled by hand courtesy of professional cobblers and saddlers that’ll be part of the Saturday, June 2nd, 'Japan Day' launch event in Düsseldorf.
