Art for all. That’s ’80s street art icon Keith Haring’s philosophy, and these men’s Reebok archive-inspired kicks showcase it to full effect. Their design pays homage to Haring’s Pop Shop on New York City’s Lafayette Street, with an eye-catching allover print that’s reminiscent of the shop’s walls. The print also represents the idea that anyone can participate in and access art.

For their fourth team-up to date, STAUD and New Balance refresh the 574 and 57/40 in punchy primary colors, a Twister-adjacent palette that immediately gives both styles a lighthearted feel. Retaining the silhouette’s instantly recognizable suede upper and gum outsole, the 574 features a red “N” at the lateral and hits of blue, yellow, and green at the heel, collar, and tongue.
For a customizable touch, the two sneakers come with interchangeable laces in red, green, blue, yellow, and black, matching an accompanying selection of colorful collaborative STAUD x NB athleisure.

This three-way collaboration comprises a range of apparel and an IVP Ulraboost, all of which feature IVY PARK and adidas’ signature muted base colors with pops of neon. In this case, black and olive palettes are paired with neon green hits. The collection also features a number of styles that are inspired by Peloton’s interactive fitness courses, including but not limited to bike shorts and tights, a matching bra, looser shorts, and tees that can be used to layering.

The second release on JD Twitch’s archival label.
“By 1993 I was saturated in Acid. Over saturated!. Since 1987 there had been an endless explosion of records from across the planet using the 303 and it seemed like the sonic possibilities offered by this little silver box had hit a dead end.
And then in 1993, from Germany, came the Blue label with mind-blowing releases by Air Liquide and friends. It felt like a new paradigm, paying homage to Germany’s Kosmische Musik past while paying respect to the Chicago Acid House originators while simultaneously looking ahead to a new form of transcendental music.
And then – BOOM! – the H.E.A.D. “EFS” double album drops. What is this music? Was it beamed in from the future? It ticked every box I loved. Endlessly hypnotic and expertly programmed with an effortless groove that sounds as if Jaki Liebezeit’s syncopations have been absorbed by the machines. It is Acid in ways my ears hadn’t heard before, the little silver box tweaked in new, exhilarating directions.
Made by future Optimo ally Khan, alongside uber talent, Kerosene and recorded in a Brooklyn kitchen, this double disc set became an eternal home listening and back room favourite. It is also a club favourite too, perhaps even more so now than it was then. It is endlessly mixable and playable at multiple speeds. A genuine classic long overdue a second life”.
This fully remastered 2021 edition of this 1993 gem comes with new artwork on a super fat double vinyl pressing.
