Nike focus their attention on London’s most famed public transport system as the American sportswear brand re-appropriates the woven jacquard weave that featured heavily across the world’s first underground railway, upon their classic Air Max 90 silhouette. 

The pattern, designed by famed designer Misha Black, was originally launched in 1978 for the then newly launched District Line. Originally made from Moquette (Wool and Polyester Blend), the pattern was a common site throughout the line during the 1980’s.

The abstract fabric wraps is used on one of Nike’s most famed running silhouettes, the Air Max 90, as it updates the fit and feel of the classic styles. The Air Max 90 features a one-piece Poly weave upper made using a process of loomed Jacquard material which maintains shape whilst expressing new cut and sew methods.

The Nike x Roundel for London Underground Air Max 90 JCQRD SP TZ is due to release IN STORE ONLY on Saturday 25th January. Sizes range from UK5.5 – UK12 (Including Half Sizes), priced at £100. *STRICTLY ONE PAIR PER CUSTOMER*

Reebok’s bold “Run 10” is given a luxury edge, as BAU’s own Frank The Butcher teams up with the brand, with this Cordura covered take on the eccentric runner.

The shoe’s “10|15” title refers to the number of years the model has been off the market, prior to it’s Re-release this year. Frank [The Butcher] has opted for accentuation of the outsole, hitting it with a smokey grey colourway, whilst the shoe’s lacing draws the eye, with speckled yellow and black trail laces. The use of Cordura throughout is the standout alteration, with the flip of the vector at the shoe’s heel , with “DMX”, “FTB” and 10|15” branding embroidered across the tongues of the left and right shoe.

The Frank the Butcher x Reebok DMX RUN 10 is available now both in-store and through mail order. Sizes range from UK6 – UK11 (including half sizes), priced at £105.
