Hewettli: Sports Stripe

Hewettli

Jenkem and Converse CONS have teamed up to issue a collaborative take on the Jack Purcell Pro, stripping the silhouette down to a minimalistic black and white iteration. The sneaker’s distinct tongue design has been stitched with “Look Alive,” adding a nike metcon dsx flyknit 2 canada unique touch with a phrase that’s close to the Jenkem brand DNA. Leather underlays and suede overlays make up the upper, while a “Bone” white midsole offers a clean base. The insole brings out the most color, intending to evoke New York’s nightlife through prints of club flyers found around Brooklyn. Gold eyelets throughout nike free tr flyknit canada and a gold embossed “Jenkem” logo on the sides round it all out. Paul Smith‘s signature “Sports Stripe” detailing appears on much of the label’s seasonal clothing and accessories, an reflection of the designer’s whimsical design ethos. Though Smith’s brand is beloved in his native Britain, Japan is perhaps even more devoted to the nike air zoom pegasus 34 canadamenswear legend, with Converse Japan recruiting Smith’s stripes for a remixed sneaker silhouette. Launching as Japanese branch of the footwear label continues to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the Chuck Taylor, Paul Smith’s PS sub-label delivers a suitably understated take on the classic sneaker. A white canvas Chuck Taylor High retains the classic white rubber midsole (with glossy toecap) and black foxing stripe, making for the perfect canvas upon which to subtly add in color. Smith’s “Sports Stripe” is executed vertically on the heel of the sneaker, with a complementary vibram five fingers sale canada rainbow accent inside the Converse star logo on the medial side. A co-branded React insole completes the versatile sneaker.
