BABAR X ROWING BLAZERS SUMMER 2021

Posted on 2021-06-14

New York’s Rowing Blazers has reunited with Babar the Elephant for a second collaboration selling the French children’s book character. Marking the character’s 90th anniversary.

Announcing the second collaboration, Rowing Blazers founder Jack Carlson said, “Babar has always been one of my favorite characters in all of literature. He’s stylish, kind, worldly — all the things I aspired to be when I was growing up. When we launched our collaboration with Babar this past winter, it was one of my favorite things Rowing Blazers has ever done, and I was so thrilled to see how well it resonated with our community. But the world of Babar is so rich, and we only scratched the surface.”

EXTRA BUTTER X ADIDAS

Posted on 2021-06-07

This year marks the 25th anniversary of one of Adam Sandler’s most iconic films, Happy Gilmore. Extra Butter is celebrating the occasion by releasing a collaboration with adidas that draws inspiration from the coveted gold jacket that Gilmore and Shooter McGavin are vying for in the movie.

The colorway of the Ultraboost 1.0 is a direct nod to said gold jacket, with the upper being done up in gold-colored Primeknit with suede overlays at the toe and heel. Seemingly inspired by a golf ball, the white Three Stripes cage and matching Boost midsole serve to complement the base, while McGavin’s signature finger gun sign is featured at the toe. Elsewhere, we find debossed Ultraboost branding at the heel, a white adidas logo on the tongue, and a graphic printed insole with iconography from the film. Golf enthusiasts can take advantage of a webbing incorporated across the striped cage of the shoe, where you can stash three golf tees.

Releasing exclusively at ExtraButterNY.com and Extra Butter’s Lower East Side and Long Island City Friday, June 25th, 2021.
