If I said that veganism is a trend, you’d probably close this tab and probably refuse to read a single other post of mine. Being vegan ISN'T a trend. It’s a lifestyle based not only around your diet, but also the products you use. That means cosmetics, clothing, shoes and much more (candles, for example). Vegan products are often more considerate of the environment, because they’re, for example, not made from real leather or other materials that burden our planet. Right now, sustainability and the environm

The extraordinary Air Jordan V Toro Bravo are guaranteed to make an immediate impression. And after taking a 12 year hiatus, they're back. The man behind the design is none other than Tinker Hatfield, Nike's designer who worked with Michael Jordan on other legendary silhouettes such as the AJ3 and the AJ11. We documented Tinker's work in our article full of information about the release, as well as a video showcasing growth and a tireless desire to improve, which are values closely associated to not only t

If your cliché detectors go off the charts while reading this post I’m sorry, but I just had to. New silhouettes from the ZX series have been releasing fairly often during the past two years, but so far, I haven’t registered such a high and consistent count of really good models. In fact, three of them made the traditional weekly selection of the best releases. Now, you can admire them along with the highly hyped adidas x Bape collab or the new Nike Air Pegasus in this week’s batch of on feet photos. Enjoy

Traditionally, Star Wars Day is celebrated on May 4th, as a reference to Obi Wan Kenobi’s immortal quote, “may the Force be with you” (get it?). This year, Footshop teamed up with (slightly unconventionally) LEGO for the occasion - we’ve prepared some inspiration for your outfits, as well as several important times Star Wars influenced the world of streetwear in these past few years. Last year, when LEGO appeared on Footshop’s website for the first time, side by side with highly limited sneakers, it mig

Choosing the right winter/fall jacket is always a daunting task - I think I can speak for everyone, when I say we want to keep warm; we want to look good and we basically want our jacket to match our whole wardrobe. Let’s be honest, a quality winter jacket is usually a big investment - and it should be worth it. So when you buy an expensive jacket, the question “how do I wash this without destroying it?” usually pops up. Most winter jackets are made from special outdoor materials you need to care for to ma

At Footshop we are actively trying to make the planet a better place, and we do this not only in the form of various projects, but also in our work and personal lives. The latest collaboration between adidas and Sean Wotherspoon, called SuperEarth, inspired us to team up with the Salvation Army to make the people they help a little happier. We made patchwork blankets from cuts of fabric, which were given to homeless people, together with respirators and handkerchiefs. The sun was shining, the birds were

This week’s On Feet selection includes representatives of three brands that vastly differ in style, appearance, materials and origin, taking us on a journey from Germany across Japan all the way to the United States - this might very well be the most diverse On Feet yet. Before we start, a word of caution: the photos below may cause side effects such as spending too much money on sneakers. Enjoy! ADIDAS CAMPUS 80S SOUTH PARK TOWELIE I did say we’re going to start our journey in Germany in the first p

Over a century ago, in 1898, a Finnish company named Karhu, which means bear, started making beer. Although the only thing they have in common with the sneaker brand is their name, I suppose you could crack open a cold one and keep yourself hydrated while sporting in the new Karhu All Around Pack - the brand’s history is closely connected to decathlons for over 100 years now. Karhu is unparalleled in the ability to profile itself in the best possible ways. The brand’s history closely resembles universit

Here at Footshop, we just received a big batch of Swiss running sneakers that, apart from an incredibly comfortable, patented technology providing the smoothest of movements, also features a surprisingly elegant streetwear aesthetic. Let’s take a closer look at On Running. Everyone bases their opinion on specific sneakers based on something else. Including me, and hollowed out midsoles definitely weren’t my thing. So when I met the On Running sneakers for the first time a couple years ago, I wasn’t part

He nimbly moves towards his goal with a furious look in his eyes, unwavered by emotions. His enemy, knowing he has nowhere to hide, accepts defeat as the only possible outcome. We’re not talking about a conflict between a bull and a desperate toreador. This is how the NBA ‘89/90 season looked like, when opposing teams had no choice but to bear witness as Michael Jordan unleashed an endless barrage of dunks and three-pointers upon them. In response to this almost superhuman form of history’s best basketball

The third week of April presents us with a combination of high, low, useful and barely usable models. Although Nike may have the most shoes on the list, this time the biggest release is the work of the brand with the three stripes. But you probably already know what this article will be about, so let’s not delay and jump right into it - “it” being the best new pieces Footshop had (or maybe even still have) during the last few days. ADIDAS ZX 8000 X SEAN WOTHERSPOON „SUPEREARTH“ In recent years,
