1948 is Nike’s creative playground-retail store neatly tucked away in the old brick railway arches between Shoreditch High Street and Curtain Road in East London. In addition to displaying and selling shoes, 1948 offers an entire art floor for events, installations and a social meeting point.

This installation in 1948 was created by Finland-born illustrator/artist/designer Kustaa Saksi who creates retro-futuristic kaleidoscopic imagery, daunting and irresistible. This installation is all about the historical fun journey of the Nike running shoe.  Saksi is a Finnsh illustrator and designer living and working in Amsterdam, via Paris for four years. Saksi sprawling scene creation has a pop-art, retro feel familiar to his other works, and it fits perfectly with Nike’s history as a brand. Saksi’s Volkswagen van and psychedelic colors illustrate the pre-swoosh era in an earnest and deliberately clunky way.

For those heading to SXSW, look out for Supra’s presence. Supra collaborated with Stubb’s Bar-B-Q. A definite out-of-the-box collaboration indeed but a product of the 413 series. Partnering up with Spin Magazine and Stubb’s BBQ, Supra is proud to present the Stubb’s Skytop.
The Skytop takes its name from one of the best places to eat and see live music in Austin, Texas and takes its look from their world famous barbecue sauce. To coincide with this release, we have created a special edition package that will only be sold at Stubb’s Bar-B-Q this Friday in Austin, Texas (address below).

Kanye’s collab with the Louis Vuitton Spring 09 line called “Kanye LV” stepped out in Paris on Thursday. The monochromatic beauties are just the kind of low-pro steeze expected from the K; of course he had to throw the little Louis flowers at the sole. Not sure what’s going on in the back with the oversized tabs? A take on a floppy hiking boot? – -LalaBlahBlah

This series was published in the wonderful magazine “French – Revue de Modes“. Michel DUBOIS paid a homage to the giant cameramen of film history through a series entitled “the light”. His inspirational figures included Karl Freund (Metropolis) and Raoul Coutard (La Chinoise).. Perhaps it is also a homage to the great shoe designers of today – from Christian Louboutin to Junko Shimada.

Speaking of edible Nikes,

Swiss foodie blogger, Sooishi, collaborated for the Nike Switzerland Air event with +41. She set out some very precise lil’ Nike-inspired snacks. Mega-creativity and execution on this girl’s part, I can’t imagine piping those petit cheese doodles into perfect swooshes.

P.S. Its amazing how much French your mind digs up when reading her blog, perhaps it’s the beautiful pics  as seen on Flickr.

For next years 70th anniversary of ‘The Wizard of Oz’, Hong Kong shoe boutique On Pedder has partnered with Warner Bros to commission the most trendy fashion designers to create their own interpretation of the famous red shoes for a modern Dorothy. Including Bruno Frisoni, Alexander McQueen, Erickson Beamon, Giuseppe Zanotti, Pierre Hardy, Marni’s hi-tech heels (that play ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow’ when plugged in) and Stella McCartney’s strapped sandals or even Azzedine Alaia’s sparkly ballet pumps, the creations are a true homage to the legendary film.

The shoes were unveiled at the On Pedder flagship store on 21 November. At the end of the exhibition, the shoes – including a replica of the original pair worn by Judy Garland in the film – will be sold off in a silent auction and the proceeds donated to charity.

My Prediction for Fall Shoes is that there is going to be a lot of buckles, bows, and variations on last year’s trends ( ie. oxfords, ballet flats, and gladiators).
All the shoes are available at Shopbop.com

To some Kanye West is a style leader meaning what he rocks, becomes popular. Lately Kanye has been killing the game with his japanese-anime inspired imaging.
