ADIDAS ORIGINALS BY NOAH

Posted on 2020-11-30

Building on the convergence of elevated design and sporting heritage established with the previous season’s offering, adidas Originals and Noah have come together to present two striking color updates to the classic Gazelle OG silhouette.

A firm favorite of Noah co-founder Brendon Babenzien, this hand-picked slimmer version of the Gazelle OG pays homage to the distinct aesthetic popular in New York City during the late 80s and early 90s.

The collection’s unorthodox take on the Gazelle offers two executions inspired by the seasonal Noah collection – a canvas shoe with a multicolor camo print; and a pony hair effect shoe with cheetah print.

NOAH X TIMEX GHOST NETS SUCK

Posted on 2020-11-23

A little over two years ago, Noah put out their Ghost Nets Suck! tee, featuring our turtle mascot and calling attention to the scourge of ghost nets. These abandoned, non-biodegradable, commercial fishing nets litter the ocean and wreak havoc on fragile ecosystems.

The issue has not gone away, so Noah’s message, and their mascot, are back. This time, they’re featured on a Noah x Timex watch, and Noah is donating 10% of its proceeds to Ocean Defenders Alliance, a 1% For the Planet partner whose volunteers physically remove ghost nets and other industrial fishing debris from the ocean.

Based on the Timex 38mm Waterbury watch, this collaborative design features a stainless-steel case, Timex classic INDIGLO backlight and 50 meters of water resistance, plus a 100% recycled polyester band by We aRe SpinDye, whose proprietary dyeing process significantly reduces the use of water and chemicals in its production. The material is high-performance and colorfast, even with repeated exposure to sun and water.

POLAR SKATE CO WINTER 2020

Posted on 2020-11-23

Sweden-based Polar Skate Co launches its Winter 2020 collection featuring British skater Jamie Platt. As one of the more prominent skateboard brands in Europe, the team has decided to go heavy in its offerings this year by releasing a number of playful board graphics along with well-made apparel.

Approaching its collection with more of an artistic and political stance is a bevy of hidden meanings in designs for each piece. For example, the ACAB pieces in the collection, designed by the artist R.Mettz, feature the acronym “ACAB” which stands for “All Cops are Bastards.” This bold abbreviation addresses the brand’s stance on police brutality and issues of racial inequality.

For Fall/Winter 2020, London-based label Last Pick pays homage to the forests, woodlands and national parks found in the United Kingdom and simultaneously aims to normalize black individuals’ visibility within them, with “The Great Outdoors” collection.

As the leaves begin their cycle from summery greens, both the color palette and the designs in this seasonal offering have been inspired by warm hues of autumn. Shades of brown and green make up the majority of the collection, while flashes of orange, off-white and yellow add finishing touches.
