The ultimate platform for streetwear and lifestyle has been highsnobiety since it started in 2005. From modest beginnings to global recognition, this "blog" Streetwear has brought to a new level.
But what is highsnobiety?
It is a digital lifestyle publication founded by David Fischer and originally acted as a blog. Over time, the simple blog was able to upgrade into a real digital magazine and e-commerce shop. A broad mass is covered by its topics, which extended from music to art to clothes and cultural topics. They are a leading source for trends and news all around the world. Your online shop is also well stocked with various designers, including some even smaller designers who get a stage.
Because highsnobiety plays such a major role, they have already released a variety of collaboration that always went along in the zeitgeist of fashion. Adidas, Nike and Off-Wite are all big names with which the magazine worked.
Now that we know the key data, we can look at the latest cooperation, the Highsnobiety X Adidas Stan Smith!
How is the sneaker built?
The Highsnobiety X Adidas Stan Smith "Not in Paris" comes in two colorways. On the one hand, we have a clean white with beige sole and laces as well as green heel area on which all logos can be seen: that from highsnobiety and adidas with Stan Smith Print. "Highsnobiety" was printed in green on the side and below the heel we can see the Eiffel Tower and Paris in gap. A cool gimmik is also the metal Eiffel Tower, which can be removed from the sneaker. Another logo with the landmark of Paris is printed on the tongue. Another logo has been incorporated inside the Highsnobiety X Adidas Stan Smith "Not in Paris".
As a second colorway, we got a nice beige, with dark blue details in the form of lettering and logos, as well as the heel area.
In addition to the two strong sneakers, there is a bag, glasses, a bottle and a belt.
Release
On June 21st you can buy all the items of the drop on highsnobiety and on adidas.com. But be quick because most of the collabs are always sold out really quickly and the number of quantities is rather low!
My opinion on collaboration
The Stan Smith is an icon and has already worked a lot together - even one of the most famous designers, Raf Simon, has already worked with the silhouette. I like both colorways very much and since there is also fashion Week in Paris at the moment, I find the Capsule Collection very well thought out and planned. Equipped with the flourish font and the trend colors, nothing can go wrong with the release.
I also have to lose a few words about high -nobty: For a few years now I have been following their pages on Instagram and always find new things and trends that I did not know. Without the daily news, I almost threw up because a lot really happens in the creative bubble. The articles can be read great and so far no collab has disappointed me with a fire - on the contrary. You can tell that the magazine is going on over time and never lag behind.
