Adidas Originals By Originals - F/W2010 - Kazuki Kuraishi (Kzk) Footwear











The adidas Originals by Originals line, after having been running for four seasons, has proven itself to be stronghold in the unforgiving and cut-throat fashion world. It has become an anchor for trusted creative design and quality. With each of the commissioned collaborators bringing their specialty to play, Jeremy Scott for the outrageous, James Bond for the simplicity, and Kazuki with his eye for details and an ability to create extraordinary depth to his designs, it is no wonder that adidas ObyO has won fans over rather easily since its inception. For the coming Fall/Winter 2010 season, Kuraisihi doesn’t disappoint, and continues to wow with his signature fusion of Japanese flavored streetwear with highly technical elements, and of course, collaborations.

The footwear from the adidas ObyO kzk is evidence enough for how Kuraishi continues to change the footwear game and bring new elements to a seemingly exhausted sneaker market. This season, he draws inspiration from vintage American sportswear and also incorporates Native American influences into the sneakers. Hybridization is key, but instead of simply fusing two shoes into one, Kuraishi draws different elements from each adidas shoe and mixes them with his new ideas. For instance, the ZX Mocc Leather is a number of different shoes all fused into one. It is part adidas classic runner with the ZXZ sole unit as used in the ZXZ ADV, part creeper (with the weaved creeper toe detail), part moccasin in silhouette and mixed in with modern printed midsoles and laser engraved eyelets.

Meanwhile, there is also the ZX Braken Leather which is built on the adidas basketball DNA, having been built on the Forum tooling. With a new crepe sole, newly molded moccasin upper which features a diamond printed design as seen on the shell jackets, these also come with ZX running outsoles for an extra casual touch, and molded sock liners as a thoughtful detail.

Last but not least, the next stand-out piece is a collaboration with LUKER by Neighborhood. This three-way collaboration has decided on the classic adidas Originals Superstar 80’s as a canvas, and rendered everything simply in black and white, with blacked-out three-stripes, upper, and only beacon of white in the shell toe and heel tab and soles. Minimal co-branding on the tongue and back of the sneakers are inconspicuous. The Superstar collaboration has also been rendered into a kid’s version, so wearing matching cool kicks with that kid in your life is not impossible.

The entire footwear collection has been kept understated and simple in terms of color palette, letting the meticulous design details shine through. As with all previous adidas Originals by Originals kzk footwear, the kicks feature a special kzk heel tape. The Fall/Winter 2010 collection is set to hit stores in August, so do stay on the look out for them!

Yves Saint Lauren Suede Desert Boots..


Yves Saint Laurent’s beige suede and rubber sole desert boots are an ever-cool alternative to trainers. Nice and suble, the color is perfect for wearing right now and we really like the simple embossed YSL branding on the back or the ankle. Easy to translate across casual and a more formal attire, desert boots are becoming a must. And if you must, you must buy these, from here.
