First originated in Norfolk, Virginia, Commonwealth has built a reputation for itself, working closely with various artist’s like Virginia-native Pharrell Williams, Clipse and Bun B, while creating a space centered around art, design, skate and street culture. This time around, the retailer has teamed up with Vans on two iconic silhouettes — Era and Slip-On.
Inspirations from the art world, the military, and current events have been the prime considerations for the design of the sneakers. Both silhouettes are graced with uppers of premium suede. The Era comes in a light olive-tint, dubbed “Desert Sage.” Tiny black checkerboards grace the top edge of the midsole above the words “Every Generation Needs A New Revolution.” The Slip-On, tinged in “Lark Tan,” sees a beige upper that’s complemented by a crisp white sole. In contrast to the Era, checkerboard stripes appear on the foxing tape while the words “People Everywhere Are Created Equal” are placed above. As a finishing touch to the sneakers, Commonwealth branding is subtly placed on the reverse of the woven Vans tab.
The Vans x Commonwealth collection will be available May 18 on Commonwealth’s website and at its flagship stores for $120 USD.

Drawn from the German footwear company’s expansive archive, the adidas Originals LXCON is inspired by a pair of vintage runners from ‘94. In this iteration, the upper mesh is tinged in fluorescent green at the top and gradually fades into black near the midsole. Three stripes branding at the sides appears in the form of beige leather swatches that holds the translucent pipes running through. Blue accents, a plastic heel tab, and an eggshell-toned rubber outsole round up the details.
The Ozweego “FTWR White/Solar Green” takes design cues from the late ’90s to early ’00s as retro-influenced elements like its chunky adiPrene midsole and multilayered upper give the sneaker its distinctive character.
A recurring motif is seen in the aforementioned sneaker also gets added to this footwear piece, except more subtle this time — lightly tinted plastic pipes get tucked under the lace cage and heel. Three lime-colored stripes appear over blue and beige ripstop at the sidewalls. Premium suede and TPU overlays are also added to the breathable upper. Lastly, its Adiprene sole displays a slightly raised outsole at the heel that’s emboldened in an orange palette, adding warm accents to the shock absorbing technology.
The adidas Originals LXCON “Solar Green/Cream White” and Ozweego “FTWR White/Solar Green” will be available on May 18 at 4 a.m. EST at Adidas’ website for $100 USD.

Unlike celebratory 576’s of the past, this New Balance was developed by its Made in England division. The New Balance 576SE “Eastern Spices” also features sand and brown hues to its premium upper with hits of plush red leather on the “N” emblem and heel tab.
Mesh panels join the leather and suede mixed upper, which sits atop the rubber C-CAP sole unit — designed to be flexible and cushioned yet sturdy and lightweight. The premium Flimby-made pair can be bought now from retailers such as ELEVEN for €150 EUR (approx. $170 USD).

The duo are set to release the Spring/Summer 2019 Supreme x Vans collection with the “Diamond Plate” all-over pattern across the Sk8-Hi Pro and Slip-On Pro models. The high-top features suede panels and canvas uppers for durability, while the leather lining adds a premium feel that coincides with the Pro denomination. The Slip-On Pro as well features the canvas upper, leather interior and diamond plate print across the entire shoe. Lastly, white details (Vans stripe, brand tag) match the white midsole.
Color-wise, both models arrive in yellow, red, and white iterations, with the Sk8-Hi Pro having a contrasting suede panel in brown, navy, and black, respectively.
The last Supreme x Vans collaboration came with Jean Paul Gaultier’s floral-based collection of pieces, while the Fall/Winter 2018 partnership had Supreme work on the Sid Pro model. The former was a bit louder and made more of a statement, while the latter gave skaters and lifestyle sneakerheads a bit of subtlety. This season’s iteration is thus a mix of both, with the pattern and fairly subdued “Supreme” branding speaking for themselves.
Both the Supreme x Vans Sk8-Hi Pro and Slip-On Pro will hit online and in-store in NY, Brooklyn, LA, London and Paris on May 9. Japan Supreme brick and mortars and its online store will receive their stock on May 11.

Guess who's back? Back again. Shady back. Tell a friend. I feel the need to say "Two trailer park girls, go round outside". I swear if you don't know where's that's from. I swear.

Kinda like when one of my favitore rappers from childhood raps now.Each and every month I will bring you the five post that everybody has been loving the most from my blog.
Homecoming Merch Haul | That's The Post #Beyonce
When you make plans, God laughs they say. I sat down yesterday and I thought I would knock out some stuff while "Homecoming" played in the background. There I was, an hour and a half later and still glued to the TV. I didn't wanna move. I was sucked in and the thoughts of getting away were not happening. Beyonce seems to have this effect on you. This control. None of this is anything to do with nothing this post is about. This is a haul post that almost became the Homecoming review. Do you really need one of those? Not really you know it's good. Duh. (Post here)

The sneaker is layered with “Light Cream” and “Desert Ore” panels that wrap around the sneaker, leaving the rich “Court Purple” and orange hues to brighten up the upper. Details include a suede mudguard from toe to heel, bold orange at each pull tab, and a deep shade of purple at the Swoosh and “Air” logos. Finishing it all off is the brand’s signature Air sole unit, which showcases a final pop of the vivid orange.
In the end, the sneaker seems to take inspiration from desert sunsets, where the purple-to-orange gradient sky sets above sandy dunes.
Priced at €180 EUR (approximately $200 USD), Nike’s Air Max 98 “Desert Ore” is expected to drop on May 25

Anyways. I lost my card but didn't lose my swag. Let's talk about it.
Silence Took Me
If you don't know let me tell you really quick, Lady Godiva new collection is out.
Joggers
Yo, H&M went down on the price of the joggers. I brought mine like two years ago and now they wanna drop the price. Wow. (This is sarcasm btw)
Okay, let's not get too mad but my jacket is not out yet. To be real, I haven't finished the design yet. Took it for the test run. This H&M can do for now.
Vans Crayola Red
Let me take you back to 2011. We (Sanquon) had just made the Lebron 'Maimi Trick" t-shirt. It was royal blue. I tossed on the camo shorts and pulled the newly dropped Vans from the closet. Life was good. These are hard to find at this point but you can get this one pair I found on eBay for you.
No, you can't have mine.
What you wearing today? Let me know on Twitter / Instagram
