K-Swiss X J-Swede

Reputable sportswear brand K-Swiss collaborated with young Swedish designer Julia Hederus for a small sneaker project. They came up with , what i'd call, the "Hederus for K-Swiss Cubes+Blocks Sneakers". 3 different sneaks were designed. For the high version, taking the Classic Original which we all know and love (not all of us love), Hederus came up with a very futuristic, innovative concept of velcro-backed building blocks - i figured they were like puzzle pieces - that you can add/remove according to your taste. That's pretty tight - you can move them around, take them on/off to change up the look a little bit. Hopefully they don't get lost/fall off post-clubbin all night. The low, blocks version, 2 block-inspired straps cover the laces. The low cubed version, which looks most like the Classic Original, is....kinda...ugly. It's a cool concept, but know when to stop - there's too much cubic nonsense around the laces. If anything, do the cubic nonsense on the ENTIRE sneak - now THAT would be poppin. So far to cop, only peeped them online at oki-ni.com - highs $250US, low blocks $170US, low cubes $190US. What a way for a young designer to get their name onto the world scene - props.
