Kitsuné Maison 9 AW10 – Ivy League – Preview Video

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

In terms of clothing at least, Autumn/Winter is fast approaching – now we’re not suggesting that in a month or so we will all all be rushing out to buy scarves and jackets – but it does mean we can really start looking forward to getting our hands on some new clobber from our favourite designers.
One of our personal favourites, and relative End newcomers, Kitsuné, have released a video, previewing their Ivy League inspired AW10 collection. This short film features a dressing ‘battle’ between Nils and Alazne to see who can get changed into their new Kitsuné clothes the fastest, most importantly giving us a sly peek at what to expect from Kitsuné Maison Collection #9.

Judging from what we can see, it looks like the AW10 range is living up to it’s own lofty expectations, mixing Parisian understatement with a personal favourite of ours – Ivy League – styling. Watch this space….

Nike Air Max 90 Infrared – Coming Soon

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Jordan 3 “True Blues“, Adidas Manchester, and now the Air Max 90 Infrared; the past 12 months has seen the re-issue of some of the trainer world’s true heavyweights. Each release is met with feverish excitement from hoards of sneakerheads across the globe, but probably none more so than this.

Back in 2008 a Quickstrike reworking of this classic runner came and went within less than an hour of going on sale, so it comes as no surprise that the phones and inboxes here at End have been inundated with requests for reservations and information since the announcement of this limited re-issue.

Having seen the shoe in the flesh we were mightily relieved to see that it had been left as it should be, the original silhouette, materials and colours all in tact, the same classic make-up that many of us have just had to look upon with envy after missing out in the past.  So now, those who missed out on previous re-issues can once again have a chance of owning one of the most iconic trainers of all time, in all its original Infrared glory.

The Air Max 90 Infrared will be available to pre-order online from the 20th May.

Please register your interest to receive further information and a notification when the pre-order is launched. But be quick, we’ve already had literally hundreds of people express their interest and numbers are limited.

Mark McNairy – New Amsterdam Collection

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Although Mark McNairy launched his ‘Mark McNairy New Amsterdam’ footwear collection only a year ago, he is certainly not new to the game, quite the opposite. Mark is a true design veteran, honing his classic design skills with some of the US’s biggest companies for decades. In 2009 he decided to go it alone with a small collection of his signature English-made shoes, including brogues, boots, loafers, and bucks.

Mark sights Junya Watanabe, Daiki Suzuki of Engineered Garments, and Ralph Lauren as his favourite designers, which is certainly reflected in his collections. The New Amsterdam collection perfectly blends American workwear, military, and Ivy League preppy styling, with stunning results. His now signature red brick sole is ever present, and truly sets his designs apart.

The Mark McNairy New Amsterdam collection is due to launch here at End in June. Please register your interest to receive more information and be first in line…

Adidas Micropacer LUX Leather

Friday, May 7th, 2010

The Unforseen range has seen Consortium give new and unexpected dimensions to some of Adidas’ most iconic silhouettes, the Spezial, Campus and Gazelle have already  been subject to some innovative and striking reworkings, and the series finale does not disappoint.

To finish off this range of  famous footwear, Adidas have taken one their flagship styles, the Micropacer and given it an unbelievably premium twist. Based on a formal Brogue, the shoe takes all the key components associated with deluxe, high-end footwear, and merges them into one of the most anticipated and stunningly well made releases of the year.

Each pair is individually numbered out of 300, and  comes in a presentation box that includes a brush, polish and cloth, to maintain the brogue detail goatskin outers, which sit alongside the Micropacer’s iconic, modern design, a brilliantly considered paradox.

With the fervour building as it is and numbers so hugely limited we would advise dropping us a line if you are interested, as we can not imagine these aren’t going to be around for long…

Adidas x Huf Consortium Rod Laver

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

The US Consortium partners Rod Laver project has proved to be one of the most popular and consistent in a long while, for a number of reasons. The shoe itself is a true classic, with clean, simple lines, making it the ideal canvas for the numerous and richly varied ideas the American collaborators have thrown at it.

The latest incarnation is the work of San Franciscans Huf, taking this humble tennis shoe and giving it one of the most distinct and striking re-workings of the entire series, mixing fabrics and finishes to great effect. The uppers are perforated suede, with flashes of grey snakeskin, a nod to some of Adidas’ most famous and revered sneakerhead styles. The inner features flashes of contrasting turquoise, with these subtle accents only making the shoe look even better.
