Both dressed in super clean colour-ways known as ‘Cloud’ and ‘Citrin’, they both stick to the traditions of using a re-engineered prime knit upper with the distinct side stripe cutting through the tones.
One of the stand out features on the 350 v2 is the inclusion of adidas’ famed BOOST technology built within its midsole making it perfect for everyday wear.

Rewind to 1991 and you will see the first Nike Huarache being introduced. Known for its extreme look of neoprene blended with an exoskeletal upper. This combination allowed for a snug fit that gave an almost constant hug feel which became iconic with the Huarache.
Fast forward to 2019 and we have the Nike Adapt Huarache. Using the Adapt technology, this ‘constant hug’ effect has been cemented even more. By using the latest in FitAdapt technology, this allows for this intelligent platform and the user to evolve together and create a wider array of personal preferences that fits the user’s needs depending on the environment and situation.
Sat on top of the Adapt Huaraches upper is the Adapt lacing system. Ran by a motor inside the midsole, this is controlled by the app where your preferences can be set up and saved to your personal account. The Adapt Huarache arrives in two colourways which hark back to the original’s aquatic inspirations, whose original neoprene was derived from a water ski.

For fall, Nike has once again teamed up with Chitose Abe’s legendary Japanese fashion label Sacai to bring us three new iterations of their now iconic LDV Waffle Racer. For many, these silhouettes have become one of the most sought after ever since its debut on the runway at Paris Fashion week making the Nike x Sacai LDV Waffle Racer an instant classic.
Ever since her days as a pattern cutter at COMME des GARCONS and Junya Watanabe, Abe has become an influential mens and womenswear designer with Sacai since its introduction in 1999. Known for her technical ability, Abe has become well known for taking garments and reworking them into one new piece.
This ability is no different when it comes to her collaboration with Nike. Taking two classic silhouettes from their archives, Abe in return brings a futuristic approach to these classic shapes with a doubled-up effect. Everything down to the Swoosh has been doubled, from the sole, the laces, the swoosh and the tongue.

Created in collaboration with Liam Gallagher, the LG SPZL is the latest exclusive release from adidas SPEZIAL.
Liam Gallagher has stayed true to his roots since his first ever pair of adidas trainers, a pair of Kicks in which he wore religiously so for the two to come together has been a natural process as Gary Aspden explains…
‘I have known Liam for over 20 years and we have always got on. He is one of the people who has worn and supported what we do with adidas Spezial since day one so this collaboration evolved organically.’ explains Gary Aspden. ‘He liked the silhouette of the Padiham SPZL on the whole but said he wanted it to look neutral and understated. This shoe became foundation for the LG SPZL.’
‘We made a few tweaks to the upper pattern along with a different tongue – as anyone who is a fan of gum soled, suede adidas trainers knows it is all about those subtle details. Liam gave comments on each sample until the final version which we held off on showing him until we presented them to him for the first time backstage at his gig in Hackney. We filmed that moment as we wanted to capture his honest reaction. Anyone who has worn the three stripes loyally for as long as he has will understand that excitement.’

For the second time in 2019, Nike have returned to the story of the Viotech with a second iteration of the Nike Air Max 90 Viotech 2.0.
The Viotech story began back in 2001 in Japan, during this period Nike had a co.jp initiative which allowed for consumers to access colourways that were exclusive to that specific region. During this time a pack known as the ‘Ugly Ducking’ pack was launched alongside a Nike Dunk which was became known as ‘Rainbow’. This Nike Dunk became the stand out of these launches and has since become an icon.
One of the stand out features on this Dunk that made it so popular was the dash of purple, this shade was known as Viotech. Now a more prominent feature on this AM90, the Viotech story can be carried on with the help of another of Nikes iconic silhouettes.
For this special launch, we have once again teamed up with our good friend and illustrator, Mark Ward to create another set of artworks further telling this story.
We paid a visit to Mark’s studio to sit down and discuss his story and inspirations behind his latest piece of work for us.
The Nike Air Max 90 ‘Viotech’ 2.0 is now available on Footpatrol.com

For this summer we have teamed up with adidas Consortium as part of the 30 years of Torsion celebrations.
Debuting exactly 30 years ago, the Torsion System has been one of adidas’ biggest breakthroughs has become an iconic mainstay within adidas. By using a TPU arch to bridge the heel and forefoot, Torsion allows the front and rear of the foot to operate and adapt to surfaces independently.
With this celebration towards Torsion, we have worked with adidas on creating a unique take on the ZX Torsion, a shoe that brings together two of adidas’ most ground-breaking technologies. Combining the Torsion System with the latest in BOOST cushioning makes for a modern, contemporary feel whilst keeping in touch with what made the ZX range so unique and iconic.
For our Communitas project, the focus was on the London key city moment of Notting Hill Carnival. The Adidas Consortium x Footpatrol ZX Torsion features a mixture of overlays on the upper with a mixture of stark whites, subtle greys with bursts of neon yellows lifting the shoe. The Torsion bar itself is coated in a vibrant marble effect of colour, bringing a sense of spirit that carnivals are known for. Footpatrol branding appears in an lenticular effect on the tongue alongside W1/W11 postcodes representing both Footpatrol and Notting Hill.
As part of this special release, we have partnered up with DAZED and 33BOUND to curate a documentary which delves into the history of steelpan drumming focussing the attention of one of the most well-known steelpan bands, Ebony Steel Band. Bringing the sounds of steelpan drumming since 1969, the short documentary takes a look at the generations and personalities of the Caribbean and British people that make up the group as they prepare to enter their 50thanniversary.
With each in-store purchase, you will receive a free carnival kit (whilst stocks last) to coincide with Notting Hill carnival.
The adidas Consortium x Footpatrol ZX Torsion is Now Available in-store and online. Sizes range from UK6 – UK12 (including half sizes), priced at £130.

Good luck!
The latest Air Jordan 1 High is a testament to Jordan Brands storytelling which has been a huge element to their releases ever since its first release in 1985.
The up and coming Air Jordan 1 iteration transcended its purpose and ‘Defiant’ celebrates the music community who adopted it as its own—alternative rock. Featuring a DIY aesthetic, the red Swoosh treatment takes inspiration from a leather jacket’s stitching details and removable patches. Signature black and white leather on the upper and a contrasting yellow Swoosh salute to ’80s album colours and irreverent streetwear that defined alternative rock at the time.
The Air Jordan I High ‘Defiant’ is now SOLD OUT.
