Lacoste steel Racquets collection, a tribute to Rene Lacoste and the pioneering of the first steel racquet of 1963. Used by the likes of Jimmy Conners and Billie Jean king the racquet accumilated 46 grand slam titles between 1966 and 1978.

The sneakers follow the tone of the racquet in their silver metallic colour, and detailed metallic mesh in crisp white soles and laces.

This not the type of release that adi, nike , puma or reebok will quiver about but it does let us think and look at something a little different. These are definite must cops for Lacote patrons and an alternative for enthusiasts. streetcouture.

streetcouture82: Jay-z nike Air Force 1 collabo : the HOV: hit or miss?


.....uuuuuhm... this kick is big fat miss! For the following reasons, 1) Jigga is not a self coffessed sneaker head, unlike maybe a kanye or a Dj Clark kent, so theres no credibility. 2)The concept of all black everything which is part of this kick,is a kanye idea that Jigga followed. 3)What part of the design process was jigga involved in if any? ..... except for the detail on the toungue, the Bottom line is the shoes wack, nothing special or innovative about it..... nuff said case closed.

streetcouutre82: Gary Warnett of "crooked tongues" ...... presents a BANGER of an Air force 1




Yo , this has to be one off, if not thee Phattest air force 1 collabo to date. A round of plause to Mr Warnett and NSW on a job well done. ..... any one who gets there hands on a pair of these, has a game not off this planet, and pocket to match, at a $900 a pair.

You gotta love the detail on these kicks, not part of the shoe is lacking, from the inner, upper and to the toungue, it's all a carefully co-ordinated ensmble of materials and colour. I mean, the under part of the soles colour scheme matches the upper..... who does that? The top pair of lace holes are different colour to the rest and it works.... who does that? A pure piece of aesthetic genius. streetcouture.
