Raf Simons’ ‘All Star’ style Astranaut Mix monochrome sneaker in top quality calf-skin leather with an extendable Velcro ankle strap. Available now at Oki-Ni (for a measly price of 900 cad).

I've been eyeing these for quite some time and now that they're finally available, I can't decide if I should pull the trigger. These jawns are definitely slick but they won't be doing my wallet any good, especially not while I'm saving up for this.

Now available at HUF.

Though I hate what he's done with the Dior Homme label I have to admit, Kris Van Assche absolutely killed it with his own footwear line. Manufactured by Manifattura Ferrarese, the collection consists of about thirty styles including sneakers and boots. The line is expected to be available in June.

What is the deal with these?


Everyone seems to be going bapeshit crazy (see what I did there?) over the latest Kanye and Louis V sneakers and I don’t buy it. I understand the appeal for the Hypebeast crowd but lets be honest, this collaboration is the product of lazy design. Mr. West brings nothing new to the table here; even his most interesting looking pair is nothing more than a refined iteration of the Air Yeezy, which by design was pretty fucking ugly to begin with.

Come on Marc, with people like Lucas Ossendrijver, Raf Simons and Rick Owens (just to name a few) putting some truly innovative spin on the hi-end sneaker game, you can do better than Kanye.
