The Curry 6 “Oakland Sideshow”

Following the recent “Coy Fish” colorway, Stephen Curry‘s signature shoe is receiving a more understated makeover. The Curry 6 “Oakland Sideshow” draws its color scheme from the “sideshow” parties in Curry’s native Oakland, where locals show off their finest automobiles in a lively, jovial environment.

“I was determined to bring my love of cars and pay homage to the ‘Sideshow’ culture here,” Curry noted in a press release. The “Oakland Sideshow” is relatively understated in comparison to the sideshow vehicles, with a dark grey upper and matching midsole. This emphasizes the pops of color at the lace locks and tongue, as well as the speckling that wraps around the heel plate.

Before the special colorway debuts, however, Under Armour has teamed up with NBA 2K19 for a special early in-game launch. Part of the “UA Ruin the Game Challenge,” players will have to take down a team comprised entirely of Currys — not only that, but they must break Curry’s career-record 13 three-pointers in a single game. Those who beat Team Curry — 10 Stephen Currys, 2 Dell Currys and a single Seth Curry — will receive an in-game “Oakland Sideshow,” plus bonuses.

For those looking to snag the real deal, expect the “Oakland Sideshow” to hit retailers on March 1, along with a matching Stance sock. Limited pairs will drop the same day as the “UA Ruin the Game Challenge” — February 22 — via the SC30 x Oakland pop-up in downtown Oakland.

The Darkside Initiative x Vans Vault ComfyCush LX

JavarisIsOnMars fashion , sneakers 0 Comments

The Darkside Initiative has teamed up with Vans Vault once again to unveil two new silhouettes: the Old Skool ComfyCush LX and the Sk8-Hi ComfyCush LX. The duo’s previous “Armored” pack included the innovative use of technical fabrics, while this latest partnership experiments with Vans’ groundbreaking ComfyCush sole.

The design was inspired by the rivalry between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers after the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs, where Philly fans donned shirts stating “Guess what? We don’t like you either!” in response to Penguin Sydney Crosby’s attitude. Taking cues from the fans’ flippant attitude, The Darkside Initiative embraced the Flyer’s team hues to deliver an orange and black-themed colorway on the tongue and waffle sole, along with the infamous slogan embroidered on the heel. Featuring a matte steerhide leather with combo tanning along the upper, the finish provides a rubbery touch on top of a light grey midsole.

The collection also includes a black slingback with DSPTCH, constructed with ballistic nylon and Duraflex hardware. All items from the collaboration are available now at The Darkside Intiative online and its San Francisco stores, with prices ranging from $130-$175 USD.

Bodega x Vans Authentic “Blank Tapes”

JavarisIsOnMars fashion , sneakers 0 Comments

As a nod to the long-forgotten VHS tape, Boston-based streetwear boutique Bodega teamed up with Vans to rework the classical Authentic, incorporating a nostalgic theme into its timeless design.

The co-branded edition of the iconic silhouette plays with various textures on the uppers, featuring a nylon quarter and an elevated suede toebox. Mimicking a traditional blank VHS box, an enlarged, white “V120” arrives on the lateral sides while the midsole is detailed with vintage box branding. The tongues are done up with a red and green see-through material which resemble the magnetic tape spool on the inside of each VHS tape. Rounding off the look, the inside is embellished with an anti-pirating sticker-inspired footbed and a RGB-colored outsole.

Besides the co-labeled sneakers, the pack also comes with a shoe box resembling a blank VHS case, and blank labels.

Priced at $105 USD, this collaborative iteration is set to be dropped on February 16 at the Bodega boutique and on its official website. An apparel collection will also be released at the same time. Make sure to mark your calendars.

Vans Led Zeppelin's 50th Anniversary Capsule

JavarisIsOnMars fashion , sneakers 0 Comments

After its recent release of a premium line of woven checkerboard slip-ons, Vans has unveiled its latest collaboration with storied rock n’ roll band Led Zeppelin. The California-based brand is set to drop a limited-edition capsule collection this month, which will pay homage to the English group’s 50th anniversary of their self-titled debut album.

Within the collection is a four-piece mix of apparel and footwear, with each style incorporating a tie to notable Led Zeppelin imagery. The long-sleeved T-shirt comes in all-black and features a focal back-graphic of the band’s eponymous album cover, which depicts Germany’s crashing Hindenburg airship. On the front of the shirt, Vans branding is located underneath of the band members’ four respective emblems, which were originally created to represent the group’s fourth and untitled studio album (commercially referred to as Led Zeppelin IV).

Moving into footwear, Vans has developed two editions in honor of the musicians. Its Sk8-Hi silhouette takes on a suede and canvas upper while Led Zeppelin’s original album artwork is plastered in metallic silver along the quarter panel. In addition, the style features a black leather Sidestripe, tonal laces and a tonal alphabet-printed sidewall. Meanwhile, the label’s Era sneaker features a premium leather construction with a contrasting white design that highlights each unique IV badge. The same icons are also woven into the internal tongue on both versions and will be sold with a custom shoebox.

Wrapping everything up is an adjustable trucker hat. Like the tee, the cap comes in black and takes on the same debut album picture.

The Vans x Led Zeppelin collection will hit select Vans stores and wholesale partners, Vans.com and Led Zeppelin official website on Friday, February 22.

Coca-Cola "Orange Vanilla"

JavarisIsOnMars HomeTown Love , 0 Comments

After more than a decade, Coca-Cola has just announced its newest official flavor. The idea came after the Coca-Cola marketing team revisited the success of the relaunch of the Coke Zero beverage — looking for other areas for growth. The other flavors considered were between raspberry, lemon, and ginger, but ultimately Orange Vanilla came out on top.

While the Australian and Candian market has already gotten a taste of an orange variant of Coca-Cola during a summer promotion, Kate Carpenter, brand director of Coca-Cola insists that the US market will love this new flavor, mentioning, “We wanted to bring back positive memories of carefree summer days, that’s why we leaned into the orange-vanilla flavor combination – which is reminiscent of the creamy orange popsicles we grew up loving, but in a classically Coke way. ”

Look for Coca-Cola Orange Vanilla to hit shelves in the coming months.

The Vans Old Skool Deconstructed

JavarisIsOnMars fashion , vans 0 Comments

After a successful year of releases, iconic skate and lifestyle brand Vans has returned to its latest focus on deconstructed iterations of famous silhouettes. This time, it has returned to the renowned Old Skool model in order to give it a unique, broken down twist.

Part of the ongoing “Cap LX” pack, which has already incorporated an array of the aforementioned models and siblings, the Sk8-Hi, the updated Old Skool “Cap LX” rendition sees a more visually pleasing and coherent design. Arriving in a tonal combination of “marshmallow” cream white, white and tan, the suede and canvas shoe’s accented hits are relatively minor.

Teal marks the exposed foam color, with a blue stripe on the midsole, finishing the colored hits with an upside down Vans branding tab on the heel. On the medial side is a faintly-visible cream and white checkerboard print. The traditional jazz stripe utilizes a foam-like material that remains slightly protruded, held in place by a Vans-branded patch. An elastic strap also covers the top of the shoe allowing for easy in-and-out access, with more loopholes placed into the midsole on the medial side. Rounding out the sneaker is a white “Please Tear Here” patch on the heel.

Take a look at the images above, and be on the lookout as the new sneaker will be releasing on March 1st at varying Vans stockists for a retail price of $100 USD.

JavarisIsOnMars fashion , 0 Comments

KITH’s historic Fall 2018 collaboration with Versace immediately became the stuff of legend, as it represented Versace’s first-ever streetwear collaboration and KITH’s initial foray into high-end ready-to-wear. Rich with gold-drenched layering pieces, the collection runs the gamut from lavish fur coats to plush silk robes to denim emblazoned with the first-ever redesigned Medusa Head, a selection of which is seen on supermodel Bella Hadid in the collection’s campaign.

Over 100 items were created for the expansive offering, designed by KITH and produced by Versace in Italy. Of the many items, Hadid showcases eye-catching combos like stiletto heels and a branded one-piece swimsuit, bolstered by a jewelry-printed puffer coat. Elsewhere the archival Amico Trainer provides a street-savvy complement to a white tracksuit covered in co-branding. Gold shoulder bags, silk scarves, chunky jewelry and Versace’s iconic eyewear underline the collection’s opulent motif, an appropriate fusion of the Italian house’s core tenets and KITH’s timely tastes.

The landmark collaboration releases February 15 at all KITH outposts, select Versace flagships and 11 AM EST on KITH’s website.
