Meet Rudy, the sneaker de-constructor

Rudy's from Soul, South Korea. Along with his younger brother, he is a visual artist, but his main field of interest are sneakers, which he not only collects, but also deconstructs. Without a second of hesitation, Rudy Lim will disassemble your Travis Scott Jordans and create a unique sculpture out of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9ax76jit-Q Although you may consider it an art form, when Rudy aka Rudyindahouse started deconstructing sneakers, he didn't consider it to be a way to artistical

FASHION ICON: Christie Tyler

Christie Tyler communicates her passion for neutral color tones and interior design through her perfectly harmonized Instagram profile. We commend @nycbambi for her refined style and the way she combines high-fashion pieces with streetwear. The 21-year-old might have grown up in New Jersey, but her minimalistic aesthetic is much closer to that of a French or Scandinavian person. Originally, she published her content for fun on Tumblr, and some time later she came up with the NYC BAMBI blog and her Insta

David Strauzz, the Canadian who painted over a Czech historical building

There's a ton of opportunities to gain attention through expressing yourself artistically in Prague. One of them happened on the 22nd of September, and Footshop was on the spot. During one night, several hand-picked artists had the chance to express themselves on iconic Prague buildings, including Tančící dům or the Kotva shopping mall. Kotva became the canvas of David Strauzz, a Canadian painter who has lived in Prague for the last four years. We spent part of the night talking to him. How would yo

Save Stalin Plaza

One of last week's probably most debated issues was the announcement about the (ex-) Stalin Monument closing down. According to an assessment made two months ago, the monument is in a state of heavy disrepair and under risk of collapsing in the event of a lot of people being there at one time. As of the 19thof September, the Stalin Monument, which, despite its communist origins, is a cultural meeting place and the home turf of Prague's skaters, is closed to the public. In the past, a lot of develope

Fashion Icon: Freja Wewer

Her inspiration comes primarily from the streets and night life of Copenhagen. Although she dresses in a quite minimalistic fashion, her unmistakeable style comes from being able to work with silhouettes, textures and having a sense of humour. Despite her being only 22, she's already collaborated with brands like Vagabond, Paco Rabanne, Reebok and Calvin Klein, and was on the front page of the Japanese edition of Vogue (and more niche magazines, such as Numero and W) - her instagram account, followe

Fashion Icon: Marianne Theodorsen

The way Marianne Theodorsen dresses could make a minimalist's eyes bleed. Her wild Instagram feed stands out even among other Skandinavian fashion influencers, who are known for combining seemingly incompatible colours and patterns - her eclectic style is an inspiration for the bold. Marianne, 36, lives in Oslo, where she's currently raising her two year old son Till with her husband. It seems pretty wild that this 36 year old mother is a social media manager, DJ and a blogger. Her distinct tattoos,

Footshop at the Sole & Shape exhibition in Bucharest

The exhibiton took place in the capital city of Romania from June 21st to the 6th of July, and focused on the connection of the sometimes fanatical world of sneaker culture and the digital era.
