CRONYM x NikeLab Lunar Force 1 SP

CRONYM x NikeLab Lunar Force 1 SP

Nick Wooster: Designer/Fashion Director

In mid-2015, the shoe that impressed me most was the Air Force 1 series that NikeLab collaborated with ACRONYM. Unfortunately, I didn't get the black and white colors myself, but Nike gave me a pair of fluorescent red/white models. When I opened the shoe box, I could only use my eyes to describe how I saw the shoes. Its design is so unique and amazing. Nike Air Force 1 is the most representative and influential shoe type in Nike history. After such imaginative improvement was unprecedented, the extreme pursuit of functionality by Errolson Hugh created unparalleled aesthetic value. Moreover, such a swanky design can also perfectly control the costumes, and the beauty that comes out after their feet is even more addictive. There is no doubt that this is one of the best gifts I received in 2015.

adidas Originals YEEZY BOOST 350

Nic Galway: Vice President, Global Design, adidas Originals

2015 is undoubtedly a brilliant year for adidas Originals. From the beginning of this year's Tubular X to the recently released NMD shoes, the birth of a variety of new shoe types is remarkable. These achievements are the crystallization of teamwork and perfectly interpret the brand's new design style. As a creative director, I am extremely proud of this. But if only one shoe type is available, personally, YEEZY 350 is undoubtedly my favorite. Although the appearance is simple and low-key, I am very impressed by its extremely strong personality and high recognition in terms of design language. Kanye's clear and lucid creative idea for shoes encourages us to explore more possibilities in every aspect of the design process. Each part of the shoe was born on a sketch until Primeknit's shoe upper technology and BOOST midsole were added, and the final version appeared. From the very beginning, we aimed to create new shoe types rather than confine ourselves to upgrading or improving existing products. The high degree of openness to innovative ideas and the high degree of freedom given to partners have created the uniqueness of the Shamrock brand. At the same time, it also provides a perfect platform for designers to display their talents.

Jeff Staple: Founder of Staple Design

I will choose fragment design and NikeLab's Sock Dart joint shoes. From the point of view of professional design, it can be described as a masterpiece of both aesthetic and scientific aesthetics. Although Sock Dart is a pair of shoes with a deep historical heritage, Hiroshi Fujiwara gave it an unparalleled modern meaning. From the first time I met Fujiwara To, I became friends with him. During the past ten years, I saw a sample of shoes at various stages on his workbench. I can say that he witnessed it being a prototype. The final version of the design process. I even have such a feeling that Flyknit, Free Sole and other shoe-shoe technology are trying to catch up with Fujiwara's Skyworth philosophy. I was really excited to see the final version of fragment design x Nike Sock Dart available.

adidas Y-3 QASA II Low

Adidas Y-3 QASA II Low

Nick DePaula: Creative Director, Nicekicks.com

The "shoe of the year" in my heart is the Y-3 QASA II Low. Adidas was very successful in 2015, back in the Y-3 brand over 10 years of development history, Yohji Yamamoto (Yohji Yamamoto) and the design team he led to create countless seated shoes type, but this year is even more excellent work. QASA II Low can inject Slip-On shoes elements into the design of Qasa High, and remodel the neoprene texture and elastic structure to create a comfortable wear, durability and versatility. Since I got my shoes in February this year, I wear an average of QASA II Low for three days a week. Although it looks very old now, it is still a must for our business trip. More importantly, it has a very versatile and easy to navigate different styles. I had to praise Aurelien Longo for this masterpiece. I can't even wait to buy the second pair to prepare for 2016!

Nike Air Force 1 High「Flax」

Nike Air Force 1 High "Flax"

Adrianne Ho: Model/Sweat Crew Founder

It is very difficult to select the favorite pair from all the shoes sold in 2015. It is very difficult to make choices in the face of numerous seated and color matching shoes. I think I will choose Nike Air Force 1 High Flax color design. As we all know, Nike Air Force 1 High is one of the most classic shoes in the history of Nike. The beautiful interpretation of the “Maori” on shoes is an infinite enlargement of its aesthetic value. In addition, "Wheat" is my favorite color in autumn and winter wear, and it complements the surrounding environment of "Autumn Wind and Leaf Falling."

New Balance 1400「Pure White」

New Balance 1400 "Pure White"

Paul Ruffles: general manager of size?

My choice is New Balance 1400 full white color. To be honest, at the beginning of the shoe sale, I didn't immediately put it in the bag, but afterwards, my unfavorable increase in the degree of love for shoes was increasing. Its minimalist beauty is like catching your eyeballs with the finest things in the corners of the complex rooms. Perhaps because of my tennis shoes and Air Force 1 plot, my resistance to the all-white color upper is almost zero. In addition, with the superior quality of the shoes, comfortable wear and corrugated soles, all the details make me more admired. I wear this New Balance 1400 almost every day, maybe I really should buy 3 pairs...

Public School x Air Jordan 12

Public School x Air Jordan 12

Ronnie Fieg: Founder of KITH

At the end of the year, the final sale of the Public School joint Air Jordan 12 is my choice. You know, Public School is the only high-end fashion brand that Jordan Brand has teamed up with so far. The totality of the entire project is unquestionable. Because of this, it has received unprecedented attention and high expectations. I have to say that the Public School version of Air Jordan 12 is one of the best designs I've seen so far. The luxury and simplicity of the shoes reflect the beauty; such a dark gray color is also easy to wear almost any style of dress. No doubt, Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne made a perfect design masterpiece. For all Public School and Air Jordan shoe fans, this pair of shoes is a must-have collection.

NikeLab Air Flight 89

Deon Point: CONCEPTS Brand Manager/Joint Planning Director

Picking a pair of shoes from the entire year has to be very challenging to say. Many shoes I have even forgotten, this may be caused by my over-Party (laughs). However, NikeLab Air Flight 89 definitely impressed me. It is the shoe type that I wear most often. I remember that I bought 6 pairs in one go, for a total of 3 colors. You know, at the moment when the Resell phenomenon "leads" the public to the taste of shoes, it is very rare to see the historical classic shoes being given high priority and having such a stunning design remodeling. The combination of leather and solid uppers is perfect, and the detailing on the laces is the finishing touch.

adidas UltraBoost

Adidas UltraBoost

John Brotherhood: FOOTPATROL Brand Manager/Buyer

Adidas UltraBoost is my absolute 2015 "shoe of the year." It is undoubtedly a quality footwear masterpiece, which is equipped with advanced technology materials is the biggest design highlights. In the past few years, no running shoes have achieved such a breakthrough in terms of building comfort like BOOST, which is undoubtedly the best in functional supreme running shoes. As a professional sports running shoe, UltraBoost is also highly sought after by Sneakerhead in the culture of shoes. Previously only shoes like Nike Flyknit Racer could do this. In addition, I think that UltraBoost is the only shoe type in the current shoe industry that can lead or even change the design trend. Its development history since its publication can be said to be inspiring. I very much hope to see if adidas will create more possibilities in BOOST technology in the future. For example, the recent “cage-less” version was extremely popular on social media channels. In particular, the release of HYPEBEAST’s tenth anniversary co-branded money led me to believe that adidas would make a fuss about this design concept and will New ideas are expanding. At the same time, let us wait and see what other brands will do in 2016. The "good show" has only just begun.

Ronnie Fieg x PUMA「Tokyo Sakura Project」

Yassine Saidi: Director of PUMA SELECTS Planning

Each cooperation project has its own uniqueness that cannot be duplicated. Each partner will integrate his background, inspiration and unique insights into aesthetics, and PUMA Sport's historical heritage and DNA. The 2015 "Shoe of the Year" in my heart is the R698 Sakura series with Ronnie Fieg. We went to Tokyo together on March 14 and decided to build this series around the theme of Japanese culture. In the end, the design of the shoes was inspired by the springtime beauty of cherry blossoms. In addition, we also teamed up with Poggy (Mikiki Hikiki), creative director of United Arrows & Sons, to jointly publish these highly anticipated shoes in Tokyo. For me personally, this PUMA R698 shoe is not only my favorite design in 2015, it is also the most experienced in many of my joint ventures.
