One of Nike’s most overlooked models is the Nike Sweet Classic High. They are shown here in a subtle colorway consisting of an all white leather upper along with black accents. They resemble the Nike Blazer High, but definitely have their own crowd following. One of the most noticeable features is the perforated upper, which allows the bearer’s feet to reathe, serving as a source of ventilation.

SNEAKER TIME!
After the success of last September’s ‘Oktoberfest’ adidas x Crooked Tongues Munchen, legendary shoe designer Markus Thaler (one of the minds behind the legendary ZX range) joined the project to offer his own unique ‘outdoors’ take on the cult silhouette.
A premium material mix, a new approach to panelling, covered tongue, D-Ring fastenings and a forefoot with duck boot design cues are bolstered by some eccentric detailing. As a Bavarian, Markus knows the
area’s aesthetic far better than we ever could, and he takes the upper of this late ‘70’s training shape into off-road, woodland territory, set on the familiar cup sole.
Limited to just 150 pairs exclusively from the Crooked Tongues store, the adidas x Crooked Tongues ‘VIP’ Munchen is on sale now via the Crooked Tongues online store.
