Fila x Honda Racing Shoe Collection

Joe — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 20:57:22 +0000

FILA and Honda Racing have joined forces to create a sneaker collection that combines FILA’s rich design heritage and Honda Racing’s commitment to fulfill every car enthusiast’s racing dreams.

The collaborative footwear line pays homage to Honda’s outstanding core technology and culture of innovation, as well as its appeal to young car enthusiasts.

Each pair of sneakers in this collection has numerous special features such as a low profile outsole that allows the wearer to feel the control of the gear and the gas pedals when driving. An internal injected EVA midsole which provides maximum comfort without adding weight or thickness. Lightweight upper materials as well as ballistic mesh panels that allow breathability while maintaining strength.The the Honda Racing shoes also include Polyurethane panels for excellent fit and durability at the heel.

The Fila x Honda Racing Collection will be available sometime this month in a low cut version and a mid cut design. The lows will be available in three colorways while the mids will be available in two colorways. The sneakers will be carried through FILA’s foremost retail partners, fila.com and hondaracingline.com.

Samurai Magazine x MACKDADDY x Fila ‘Mack Squad’ Sneakers

Joe — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:43:40 +0000

To celebrate all the hard work put in and achievements earned to reach their 10th Anniversary, Samurai Magazine has teamed up with MACKDADDY to collaborate on a limited edition run of Fila sneakers.

Almost impossible to miss comes these vibrant Fila shoes known as the Mack Squad. The shoes have been done up in a few shades of lime green and accented with purple which comes in the form of some sort of cloth material. Defiantly not a color scheme which will fit everybodys taste but one which is defiantly unique in its own sense. Its nice to see Samurai Magazine getting involved with some more collaborations in the footwear industry cause whenever they seem to get down on a pair of kicks the outcome is always something original and something which is sure to catch some attention. Some of you may remember the unusual colorways used on the two New Balance H710J models which Samurai Magazine designed in collaboration with Mita back in 2006.

Im not quite sure on where you can scoop a pair of these up at the moment but according to Hypebeast retail price is ¥12,600 or approx. $128 USD.

Joe — Thu, 21 May 2009 23:10:49 +0000

Its been quite a few years since Fila has been a competitor in the footwear industry but that may all change in the coming months with this new collaboration in the works with ALIFE Rivington Club. The release of the Fila Ninety6, also known as the Grant Hill II retros, helped the company to generate some buzz in a long time, specially with the help of Jeff Staple who got down with Reebok to collaborate on a pair of the Ninety6 but since have seemed to fall to the back burner again. Maybe thats cause over the past few months they have been working this collaboration up with ALIFE Rivington Club.

At this time all we have is this preview image so make sure you keep it locked for further info. An official release will be set for sometime in June.

Fila Ninety6 – Phoenix Suns

Joe — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 01:09:13 +0000

Since the release of the Fila Ninety6, formerly the signature sneaker of Grant Hill, a few different color variations have been released but until now none of them resembled the team Hill plays for today. Seen here is a gray, yellow and purple color scheme of the Ninety6 which looks like something you would see on the feet of the Phoenix Suns players. Is this a sign that Fila wants Grant Hill back, or Fila just making bank off his old signature sneakers? Either way who cares, this is a pretty nice looking colorway of the Ninety6 if you ask me. No info on a release date at this time. Via: Complex

Reed Space branding is found throughout each model on the heel tag and on the inner side panel.

Which is now being called the Ninety6 is what many of us know as the Grant Hill II Mid sneakers that Hill ran the courts in back in 96.
