Huf gets together with Converse (Product) Red to collaborate on the Skidgrip, a sneaker that we have not seen so far in the red collection. The high top sneaker comes in black canvas and features an all-over Huf “H” pattern design on the upper. The design was previously already featured on other Huf product, including New Era caps, t-shirts and more. Of course the sneaker also features the red eyelet, a trademark sign of the Converse (Product) Red line. Also the Huf logo is featured on the mid-sole. So far there is no word on a release date, but we will keep you posted.

Acapulco Gold gets together with Vans on the Moda Hi. The sneaker looks a bit like a mix of the Sk8 Hi and the Half Cab and features a velcro strap, which features the Acapulco Gold logo embossed. Actually they were inspired by the classic adidas Rod Laver and wanted to translate those colors onto the Moda Hi. The upper is made of suede and leather and hiking boot laces were added to the sneaker. Overall the outcome is a solid looking sneaker, that is unfortunately only coming out next year.

The “Northern Lights” SB Dunk Mid Premium features a nice mix of charcoal grey suede and pebbled black leather for the upper with an iridescent check which is meant to resemble the storied Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. This quickstrike release is now in stock at both KICKS/HI Makaloa and Ward locations and available Saturday July 18, at other Nike SB retailers such as Concepts 37 Brattle St.

Todd from In4mation already hinted a couple of days ago at a follow up collaboration with Vans on their denim Half Cabs that released a while ago. Today we can show you first images of the In4mation x Vans Chukka Low. The sneaker seems to have a dark blue canvas upper and features a black/white pattern on the lining, gum sole and clean white laces. We really like the Chukka Low and In4mation did just enough with it, keeping it very clean overall. Look out for a limited release this winter.

After giving you a first initial preview of the collaboration, we can show you some more detailed images of the Stussy x Shark Classic Watches today.
