Greater Land

The correlation between mental and physical, mind and body, interior and exterior, how we feel and how we present ourselves to the world, is an inherently human in nature.

The success of Nike is in no small part due to a deep understanding of this quality. In the same manner as aesthetic choices such as color, length, fabric, etc. can communicate the inner nature of the wearer to the beholder, something as minimal as a sneaker can communicate spirit and essence. This shoot captures, in both form and content, precisely how a sneaker can transcend the realm footwear to become something profoundly human.

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.

Wood Wood's Anniversary adidas

Taking the classic Gazelle shoe, a quintessential adidas symbol, Wood Wood infuses personal influences— nostalgic nods to their own neighborhood of Nørrebro in delicate details and prints emblazoned on the shoes, football scarves, caps, and shirt that make up the capsule collection. A celebration of the contemporary attitude W.W. brings to sportswear with their abstract reinterpretation, and a respectful homage to the archetype that is adidas, the release presents a spirited partnership that demonstrates the potential for a creative and dynamic duality in design.

The W.W. Gazelle will be released at the Wood Wood 15-year anniversary event in Copenhagen, August 10th, 2017.
Remaining pairs will be sold via W.W. stores and online August 12th.
