Back in 2014 the brand Aimé Leon Dore was created as a lifestyle, sport and ready-to-wear brand and is based in Queens, New York City. Their design focuses on simplicity but strives for power. The goal is to create a work which is timeless as well as aesthetic and unique.

As y’all sure saw in our IG story (@allikestore), we stayed with adidas last weekend for the Falcon W pre-launch. The Falcon being the new interpretation of the trefoils retro runner Falcon Dorf, the whole experience was centered around reviving the 90s spirit. Greeted by an enormous dinosaur and a swing carousel we were guided into the Falcon Fairground - an old ice cream factory filled with childhood memories. A ball pit, bumper cars, a magician and many other stuff that let our inner child jump of excitement. We had a lot of fun - shoutout to adidas! 

Now back to topic: the adidas Falcon W.

This design gets the deal, the dad shoe vibe is definitely strong on this one and guess what - we love it! The mostly black synthetic upper is accentuated by grey suede and pink leather overlays and has bright orange on the outer sole and turquoise and blue branding on the side and the tongue.

“ Extreme wetness? Extreme heat? Extreme altitude? Thanks to water repellent, breathable merino wool ATRIC lasts under extreme conditions.

Purposely ironic we merge the worlds of extreme adventure and urban life. We play with the trend of wearing outdoorsy, high-technology shoes in the rarely extreme environment of a city.”

On occasion of adidas Originals releasing their ATRIC collection the brand and Johannes Höhn (@Pangea) invited us and 7 other top-accounts in Germany to a photography workshop in Duisburg, Germany. We shot the whole collection (FTW, APP, ACC) first in Landschaftspark Duisburg Nord and later at the Tiger&Turtle. To present the collection adidas Originals organized two models for us to shoot with.

Many thanks to adidas Originals and Johannes Höhn (@Pangea) for this experience!

The Nike Air Max 180 was the big game changer that rang in the 90s possibly more than any other sneaker. It changed the whole aesthetic ball game and moved an appreciation for sneakers outside of the athletic realm into the mainstream.

We can all agree that aesthetically speaking it’s ground breaking- the exposed Air Sole, the sleek silhouette, the colourways were all more than on point.

Back in 1991 when this sneaker first dropped, the heads at Nike commissioned some seriously heavy hitting artists to help promote this new release. Proving the point that Nike has always been pushing the envelope in this regard, especially considering whom the chose to work with at the time.

With the increasing popularity of slim tailoring in the early 2000s bulky wallets stood no chance anymore. Born out of this a group of designers came together in Bells Beach, Australia to create a slimmer wallet with less layers of leather and better card positioning – Bellroy.

Bellroy released their first product in 2010. Now, the brands range expanded to pockets, pieces for your tech, work, even for your keys. As a certified B Corp Bellroy always tries to find new ways to source their leathers, protect the environment and make their products last longer. Their newest hack: RFID protection. These products offer built-in, invisible protection against data theft.
