Another bit of archive footwear, this time from Nike with the Pegasus 83 trainers.
A lightweight sports shoe from (as you might have guessed) 1983, it offers up a lightweight mesh upper and EVA midsole, along with 'mock' suede detailing and a cotton fabric lining.
If you fancy something a little different, but very cool, when it comes to summer eyewear, check out the Illesteva Leonard and Frieda sunglasses range.
Both styles (with come in different colour options) are inspired by the glamour of 50s Havana, the Leonard (top) with black lenses and an acetate frame, handmade in Italy and retailing for £125.
The lower pair is the Frieda, a bit 'David Hockney' with that round shape, again handmade in Italy with an acetate frame, this time selling for a slightly higher £140. All the styles are available to buy now at Oki-Ni.
No, this isn't a Doc Marten boot, this is the 1969 Boot, a limited edition piece of footwear produced in limited numbers for Mikkel Rude by Solovair in Northampton.
It's a boot with a heritage. Originally known as Astronaut boots (but no longer as the trademark for that style currently resides in Japan), it's an a 11 eyelet boot with air cushion sole, which is available in black or dark oxblood, with a slimmer silhouette and cleaner finish than the Doc Marten boot of the day.
The long discontinued boot has been remade in those limited quantites and is available to buy from Mikkel Rude while stocks last, priced at £120 per pair. A detail image is over the page.

The Adidas Stan Smith has been doing the rounds since 1965, appearing in a host of different styles during that 45-year period. So it's no surprise to see another for summer, specifically the Adidas Stan Smith II trainers in canvas.
Essentially it's still the same tennis shoe turned casual classic, but this time a canvas upper has been added, a choice of white or a more bold dark blue, along with the perforated three stripe branding, adidas branding on the leather heel piece, pinstripe tongue plus a vulcanised midsole.
Originally produced back in 1980, the Puma Whirlwind 2 trainers are back on the market 30 years after their debut.
The Whirlwind 2, as the name might suggest, was originally creat5ed as a running shoe, but the reissue has amended things just a little bit, removing the racing spike and extending the multi pimpled outsole, which offers the shock absorption.
