RBRSL'S Latest Collections Is A Must-Watch

RBRSL, an Italian footwear business that was founded in 2011 under the moniker RubberSoul, has been honing its craft in the shadows for quite some time. Recent price declines, on the other hand, have piqued our interest and solidified its status as a rising star. RBRSL makes shoes with lifespan in mind, upcycling abandoned materials and even integrating flora into its trademark soles, all with the goal of breaking established consumer culture standards.

While these continuous values drive each of the label's collections, its various inspirations provide diversity.

Color explosions and even seeds inserted in sole units create the ideal backdrop for fresh, whimsical styles. FW2021 22, on the other hand, assumes a much more solemn tone.

The same basic, high-quality leather uppers sit atop distinctive colored sole sections, but this time the creative approach is inspired by Edward Hopper's classic works. Hopper's paintings are defined by a deep sense of loneliness and sorrow, with protagonists seemingly contained in their own "bubble of light," a concept that has never felt more genuine than it does now. However, RBRSL's hopeful view on the zeitgeist is that we can relate to the world around us through art, and in that vein, RBRSL FW2021 22 tries to hold a mirror to our world and the events that are changing our lives.

The concept is beautifully translated into the actual offering. Bold, a classic sneaker that was modified last season, now gets a fresh design with a mid-collar construction. The redesigned ankle boot, which now has a stretch sock interior and a padded upper, is available in two winter-ready versions: waterproof nylon and vegan leather.

The RBRSL family is also expanded with the introduction of a new mid-cut, heavy-weave sock. Its sole unit, like Bold's, is constructed consisting of a transparent shell and a memory rebound midsole for maximum cushioning. Hopper's "bubble of light" is represented by the liquid-rubber sole created with Inkjet technology, begging us to never forget the frozen time we experienced over the last year or so.

RBRSL FW2021 22, in conclusion, caters to all ends of the spectrum. It's a well-rounded and flawlessly performed exhibition from the Italian label, with a conceptual base as powerful as the actual goods.

This Nike Waffle One Is Inspired By The Air Max 1 "Curry"

Image
The Waffle One is without a doubt one of Nike's most innovative new designs, bridging the gap between vintage and current style. The shoe's second appearance will feature a color scheme inspired by the popular Air Max 1 "Curry." The colorway bears a lot of parallels to the aforementioned, albeit it isn't quite uncanny in its likeness. To begin with, the color combination of "Cider" and "Twine" closely matches the food-inspired hue; they're even balanced out in a similar way, with white and its creamier offshoots adorning the Swoosh and sole adjacent. Furthermore, there is a hint of blue on the upper, though it is much more subdued here. This Curry-inspired Nike Waffle One gets an official look right here. Within the next few months, sizes should be available on Nike.com and at select stores. Nike Waffle One "Curry" Release Date: 2022 Color: Cider/Twine-Lemon Drop-Light Bone-Game Royal-Pollen Mens: $120 Style Code: DO2380-200

Bootleg Bapestas Are Back From Bape And Reebok

Image
Isn't there such a thing as too much of a good thing? The two are back in action with a new set of collaborative Reebok designs, picking up where last year's collaboration left off. They are two well-worn BAPE models, so there's not much new ground being broken here, but these are among of the cleanest colours the pair has done to date. BAPE and Reebok's latest low-top, like the previous Club C, has the iconic star on the medial side and "BAPESTA" branding on the heel, making it a good alternative to the chunkier OG original. It's a little amusing to see a shoe inspired by the AF1 given new life atop one of Reebok's court shapes, but it's a better appearance for the all-white design, shaping up to be a little cleaner than a traditional pair. A new Instapump Fury has arrived. It's no surprise that BAPE is bringing back the bulky runner, which has been a perennial best-seller in Japan. It's also no surprise that the sneaker comes in three dif...

It Doesn't Get Any Sweeter Than This For The Nike Dunk High "Chocolate"

Image
Since its comeback in the shoe business, the Nike Dunk has had a plethora of colorways. Sneakerheads all over the world have enjoyed a variety of colorways with themed features over the last two years, some in commemorative designs and others that are just plain simple and lovely. And while we're on the subject of sweets, the Nike Dunk High "Chocolate" just dropped, and a closer look at the shoe reveals that it can't be any sweeter than it already is! The iteration has a high-top profile, which gives the heels and ankles more support. Unlike its "Light Chocolate Sail" counterpart from last year, which had milky hues, this premium leather rendition has darker brown tones. The shoelaces, Nike Swoosh emblems on the lateral and medial sides, and the full-length midsole underfoot, all of which are in a pure white gradient, are the only pieces that add a flash of contrast to this delicious configuration. The Nike Dunk High "Chocolate" is an absolute must...
