AGAINST LAB for CONVERSE: ‘RE(CONS)TRUCTION’ Lookbook

Local brand and multidisciplinary creative entity, Against Lab recently took a few Converse Chuck Taylors and did their own interpretation on them. This effort was in conjunction with the recent sneaker convention, SneakerLAH that just passed over the weekend where they displayed all the pairs for the convention goers to see.

Titled as ‘re(CONS)truction’, this project sees each pair getting fitted with specific materials to give each pair a certain persona. If you missed out on SneakerLAH last weekend and did not managed to catch a glimpse of this project, fret not, Against Lab has just released the lookbook for ‘re(CONS)truction’. Check it out above.

UNDEFEATED x BAPE x adidas are back!

For those of you who didn’t know, it was only last April that these three major brands collided minds to produce a fantastic collaboration on a couple vintage-styled adidas Superstar 80s silhouettes – and luckily for us, the terrific trio is back at it again to make us drool one more time!

Undefeated, Bape, and adidas Consortium brought us what looks like a reversed version of their previous brainchild, whereby in their latest creation.
You can clearly see there is no shortage of Bape signature camo print completely covering the supper of the Superstar – and definitely seems to speak the mind of Undefeated and Bape this time around (unlike the last collab which seemed rather tame to us). Accompanied with three super clean solid suede stripes complimenting the camo upper, we feel this was a great choice in terms of design for the trio – nice a simple. Also not forgetting that they have continued with the black/grey and blue colourways again, and also keeping the same gold stamping for the branding of the masterminds just like their previous collab – it worked so well last time, so why not do it again! Lastly to finish it all off, that classic vintage off-white sole unit and iconic shell toe – a silhouette that you can never go wrong with.

If you wish to cop your own pair of this beautiful brainchild, head on over to official adidas retailers such as Sole What.
