ADIDAS ATRIC F/22 PRIMEKNIT
The Atric is the brand’s latest silhouette that draws reference from previous moccasin-inspired lines (like the 2001 and EQT). Named after the aperture setting in photography, the shoe delivers a form that is both crisp and sharp. The outdoor-ready kicks also features oh-so-soft Merino wool upper (for its natural sweat-wicking, anti-microbial properties), suede overlays, and PU midsole. It’s a trusty pair that does good on what it should: function, comfort, and style.
adidas Atric F/22 Primeknit ($210) is available online and adidas Originals stores
PUMA
PUMA X MCM SUEDE COLLECTION
Celebrating its 50th anniversary, Puma partnered luxury house MCM to release a limited-edition capsule. The shoe will see a combination of the two brands’ signature identity coming together — the familiar Suede silhouette dressed in classic MCM monogram. A bespoke Visetos canvas upper and brass plate on the shoe tongue (which will carry the MCM logo and unique registration number) adds to a sense of exclusivity and extravagance. Colourways include, white and cognac, and a MCM-exclusive red-blue.
PUMA x MCM limited edition Suede ($525) is available at MCM HAUS Paragon
PUMA x SEGA RS-0 COLLECTION
Fans of Sonic the Hedgehog can soon find reminders of the nostalgic video game in PUMA’s upcoming collaboration. Dropping officially on 6 June 2018, the RS-0 Sonic showcases a textured suede upper that immediately brings the hedgehog’s striking blue fur to mind. Familiar elements from the game, like the gold rings and the Green Hill Zone running track, will also get a playful nod in the shoe. Features like gold lace ends and 16-bit grass-printed heel will surely remind fans of their childhood spent in front of the SEGA console. Similarly, the RS-0 Dr. Eggman will come in a bold red, and black-yellow caution detailing on the footbed which takes it reference from his signature Eggmobile.
PUMA RS-0 collection ($195) will be available at PUMA Select MBS, Limited Edt Chamber, and Pedder on Scotts. The MCM-exclusive colourway will be available at MCM from 5 June 2018.
ASICS & ONITSUKA KO100 COLLECTION
Sunflowers shine bright in this latest limited-edition collection, designed specially to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the brand’s founding father, Kihachiro Onitsuka. Warm hues of yellow and orange are used to dress the KO100 range of shoes and apparels.
ASICS GEL-QUANTUM 360 & ASICSTIGER GEL-MAI
ASICS GEL-QUANTUM
ASICSTIGER GEL-MAI
With designs for him and her, the GEL-QUANTUM 360 comes with all-round signature gel cushioning for maximum comfort, yellow knit upper, and pops of red and green at the heel and sole of the shoe. The GEL-MAI is a sportier, unisex variant, with asymmetrical eyelet that wraps snuggly around the contours of the feet. Bright pops of colour run through the mesh and suede overlay as well.
ONITSUKA TIGER CORSAIR KO100
It’s the same classic shape, made better with some flower power. The new upper comes with a splayed sunflower print. The shoe will also come with increased cushioning, thicker heel, arch cookies, and full-length midsole.
ASICS GEL-QUANTUM ($259), ASICS GEL-MAI ($189), and ONITSUKA TIGER COSAIR KO100 ($169) is available at the respective ASICS and ONITSUKA stores
FILA VENOM
FILA is serving some major competition with a silhouette that first made its debut in 1994. Fast forward now, and the chunky cut is looking much more streamlined and clean. White leather overlays with black suede accents make this an easy pair to match with your outfits, and the colourways of red and green lends a distinctive sporty ease to it. Oldie, but certainly a modern goodie.
FILA Venom (€109.95, SGD$172.57) drops 25 May at selected online retailers, including Titolo, 24 Kilates, and Footpatrol
