The Love Affair Between Li-Ning And Hajime Sorayama And Sexy Robots Continues

According to Hajime Sorayama, Li-Ning has acquired a fondness for attractive robots, and they aren't ready to call it quits just yet.

The Sorayama robots are well-known. Period. As an artist, he has been in the forefront of blurring the border between science fiction and human desires. His work, which is largely influenced by superrealist art, is centered on robots, particularly sexual ones.

While his work clearly distinguishes between fantasy and reality, with the Metaverse's quick approach and our apparently always-on digital future, who knows – they may wind up being more real than we could ever think.

Aside from the sexiness, Hajime's robotic artworks have made their way into fashion and shoe collaborations all over the world - Poggy, BAPE, and Dior, the metallic stamp is everywhere. There are outfits and even sculptures that make you angry — what a wonderful world we live in.

Within the domain of shoes, Mizuno has double-dipped its toes into the cybernetic lake of dreams (whatever that is), releasing a silver and black edition of the Wave Prophecy.

Following a tease earlier this year, it is now Li-time Ning's to get a taste of what the robot googly eyes are all about.

The "LET SPORTS LIGHT YOUR PASSION" collaboration centers on the Li-Ning Shadow, a silhouette that has gained prominence owing to Soulland. The Sorayama Shadow, in contrast to the Danish brand's more austere design approach, is, of course, silver.

The shape is more streamlined than ever, with metallic embellishments on a mostly white foundation. The tongue fastening technique gives shoes a Blade Runner vibe, which fits with Li-unconventional Ning's approach to sneaker design.

Along with the Shadow, the collection includes short-sleeved t-shirts, skateboards, a basketball, and other gear with robot motifs.

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...
