Adidas Italia 1960 trainers get new reissue

Posted on | Leave a comment

Italia1

A timeless trainer from the Adidas archives returns for the summer months – the Adidas Italia 1960.

As the name suggests, these sleek and slimline trainers date back to 1960s, much loved by athletes at the Rome Olympics of that year as an all-round sports shoe, but now loved as a casual classic. This all leather reissue mixes white with blue, throwing in some gold Italia branding and that cross design on the rear.

You can see the latter feature on the rear image of the trainer over the page. If you want a pair, £64.99 is the price, if you're quick.

Mikkel Rude 60s-style shirts – new range now available

Posted on | Leave a comment

Mikkel1

We're quite keen on Mikkel Rude shirts. Not least because of their excellent fit, great choice of cloths and the ability to stay looking good after a few washes. If you fancy giving them a try, the new range is now available, some of which are pictured here and over the page.

The fit, cut and design are essentially the same, a classic 60s-style button down with fairly high button-down collar, slim fit, box pleat, button sleeve and single breast pocket. Although this year, there are also some long sleeves in the range, as well as some plain colours.

Check out many more pictures over the page. You can buy the new shirts at Oi Polloi in Manchester, American Classics in London, Storm in Copenhagen and Martin C. in Paris, as well as online at the Mikkel Rude website, although the new designs don't seem to be selling on line just yet (keep checking). Prices are around the £65 mark.

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers get Mesh Pack

Posted on | Leave a comment

Mesh

It's the same old shape, but now the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers have been reissued with a Mesh Pack variation.

That effectively means the leather upper has been replaced by a mesh finish, which apparently allows your feet to 'breathe' more easily, especially on those warm summer days. Aside from that, this is the same 1960s Onitsuka Tiger shoe, first seen at the Mexico Olympics in 1968 and the first to feature the company's trademark stripes.

Of course, these days, it works more as a slimline casual shoe rather than a runner. If that's what you're looking for, check out Schuh, which will be selling them for around the £60 mark.

Cambridge Satchels available at Bohemia

Cambridgesatchels

It's not often that a hot item in magazines like Italian Vogue ticks all the boxes for Retro To Go as well, but that's most certainly the case with these Cambridge Satchels. The company's new bag ranges are set to become something of a cult favourite, and with looks and craftsmanship like these it's easy to see why.

Made in a variety of sizes and colours, each satchel uses thick, great quality leather to make bags every bit as sturdy as the classroom classics of old. Shown above are a classic brown 14" version and the quirkier red 11" – ideal for men or women, these are an investment well worth making.

Now available online from Bohemia, they retail from £75 (decidedly cheaper than the £88 Urban Outfitters are asking).

Spez1

Another classic trainer returns for a summer makeover – the Adidas Spezial.

As regular readers (and collectors) will know, the Spezial was originally a handball shoe from the 1970s, but has had a far longer life as a casual wear classic over the last 30+ years. This new issue is in two limited edition colours, with the suede upper, gum sole with perforations for extra comfort and gold 'Spezial' detailing.

Get a pair while you can, £55 is the price. See the other colourway over the page.
