adidas by Hender Scheme

August 17, 2017

Hender Scheme is taking sneakers somewhere that is certainly unique. The brand’s “Homage Collection” brings adidas Originals back to Tokyo, where the founder Ryo Kashiwazaki ‘s career had gone from a cobbler studying psychology, to bringing his care for craft to the global design industry. Keeping tradition a theme throughout the line, each pair is handmade in Tokyo, thereby elevating a typically mass-produced product. An important element Ryo has brought to the brand has been through his efforts in reflecting the “gender schema” theory inspired by his roots in psychology and attempting to transcend the societal structure and stigma surrounding sex as it relates to appearance. This concept has carried through into both the shoes for adidas, as well as campaign featuring the collaboration— recalibrates focus on the care for craft versus one’s image and provides a fresh perspective for fashion ideals.

adidas Originals by Hender Scheme will be available for general release September 2nd.

VEJA and Magliano Rework the Panenka

February 26, 2026

There’s something inherently nostalgic about football footwear. The scuffed leather, the folded tongues, the idea that performance and personality once shared the same surface. With its latest collaboration, VEJA taps into that memory and hands it over to Magliano to rework, and make its own.

Drawing from vintage football boots, the silhouette leans into Magliano’s instinct for unconventional tailoring. A folded tongue sits across the upper, referencing classic boots while subtly shifting how the shoe functions and feels. Made from a single perforated piece, the flap introduces asymmetric lacing, turning a familiar detail into something deliberately off-balance.

That sense of play carries through in the styling. There's three sets of interchangeable laces to go with the three different colorways: black with cream accents, white with sharp black contrast, and a pearlescent pink.

Through all of this, the Panenka emerges with a new personality.
