HENDER SCHEME

Hender Scheme is a Japanese footwear and accessories label based in Tokyo, Japan, founded by designer Ryo Kashiwazaki in 2010. Everything started when Ryo, nephew of a dressmaker and son of an employee of Isetan, one of the most important department stores in Tokyo, found a part-time job in a small shoes factory. This occupation became a real passion, a passion that Ryo transformed into a an independent firm: Hender Scheme. The brand is notable for reproducing popular sneaker models, such as Nike’s Air Force 1, Air Jordan IV and Adidas Superstar , completely by hand in premium leather as part of its Manual Industrial Products (MIP) line. Aside from sneakers, Hender Scheme also produces an array of high-quality handcrafted leather accessories such as belts, bucket hats, laptop sleeves, notebooks, and keychains.

Adidas, instead of suing Hender Scheme for infringement of patent rights, has decided to collaborate with Kashiwazaki and to create a capsule collection constructed with the handcraft process of Ryo, made with vegetable tanned leather in its natural color. The package includes a Superstar, a Micropacer and a NMD R1. Unfortunately prices of these limited editions are quite high, being above 900 euro.

KVADRAT X ADIDAS

Adidas Originals and Kvadrat, one of Europe’s leading textile manufacturers, have presented a new collaboration. They have created a really special edition of the iconic Stan Smith sneakers. The idea was born in Denmark and has been inspired by Copenhagen, by the design and the mix of Japanese and modern aesthetic values which characterized the city. Danish artisans of Kvadrat, appreciated for their creativity and the quality of their production, have applied their know-how to three new Stan Smiths, using the fabric “Square” by Danish designer Vibeke Rohland.

The total white Stan Smith sneakers, homage to the homonymous American tennis champion, since they were launched in the 70’s they have never stopped to fascinate. This because of their simple look, characterized by the absence of the classic three Adidas strips, and for their versatility that makes them suitable for everyday use or, with a bit of irony, for even more formal occasions.
