Adidas City Series reissues continue with Adidas London trainers

Adidas_london

Yesterday we featured the first two 1970s reissues in the Adidas City Series of trainers – Adidas Dublin and Adidas Stockholm. Well, today sees another addition available for pre-order – Adidas London.

As you would expect, the design is the same, with a few crucial differences – a red suede uppers with black leather detailing, a perforated black tongue, London name in gold lettering and a slightly different design on the base of the sole.

Still the same price though – and demand will be as high, if not higher for this version. You can pre-order now for £60.

Onitsuka Tiger teams up with Tokidoki for limited edition range of trainers

Toki_trainers

Onitsuka Tiger has teamed up with Japanese lifestyle brand Tokidoki for a limited-edition collection of trainers – available from the London Onitsuka Tiger Store from this week.

The trainers are typically Onitsuka Tiger, with retro styling rooted firmly in the 1960s. The design is anything but – the work of Simone Legno and very much in the tradition of modern-day Japanese pop culture. The shoes will be covered almost entirely in exclusive Tokidoki artwork including the lining and soles, which will be protected by a clear outsole. And for Tokidoki collectors, there’s an exclusive embroidered tiger character that will only available on this footwear, as well as a co-ordinating plush toy tiger and a series of collectible characters designed by Simone Legno as part of the collaboration.

You can pick them up from the 13th June in four colourways (two unisex, two for women only), priced at £85.

Muji_coat

It might be sunny outside, but we all know that rain isn’t often far away in this country so a lightweight raincoat is a must have. Thankfully, you don’t need to resort to that horrendously scratchy theme park poncho anymore thanks to Muji.

The Japanese design company have brought us this Freecut rain coat, available in black and clear, for a more stylish way to stay dry. There’s something decidedly Mod about the cut and collar of this high button coat. The A line serves to be practical in covering any many of outfit while looking great itself.

It’s available from Muji online and in the shops for a bargain price of just £9.95.

Dior Homme Coated Canvas messenger bag

Dior_messenger

If the vintage Olympics bags we featured yesterday weren’t high-end enough for you, the Dior Homme Coated Canvas messenger bag could fit the bill.

Similar to the Dior Homme bowling bag we covered some time back, it’s a classic messenger bag, with its retro-styled looks enhanced by a simple black finish – although the label tags will tell everyone you’ve paid through the nose for it.

The bag also has a natural trim, zip pocket, dogtooth lining and an adjustable shoulder strap. As you’ve probably guessed, not cheap at £605.

Veja Volley retro trainers

Veja_volley

We featured the Veja Taua pumps some weeks back, but the company also has another range of retro footwear on the market – the Veja Volley trainers.

More of a sports shoe than a pump, they are based on a Brazilian trainer from the 1970s and use an organic cotton canvas upper and a sole made of wild rubber from the Amazon – because they’re also eco-friendly trainers.

Available in all white or the green and white pictured above, they retail for a very reasonable £60.
