Other Sneakers
Lacoste Missouri ‘One Piece’
Taking the Missouri and giving it a brand new twist Lacoste presents the Missouri One Piece. As the name clearly states, unlike the regular Lacoste Missouri, or any sneaker for that matter, these use one solid piece of leather throughout the entire upper with fading dots which from afar almost make the upper appear perforated. To give off the illusion that the sneakers are constructed from numerous panel the usual stitching patterns have been incorporated into the design. To debut the Missouri ‘One Piece’ Lacoste has released three colorways; blue, purple and silver, all of which are available now at select Lacoste retailers such as Flauge.

Creative Recreation Dicoco ‘Gucci Pack’
The latest company to put their own spin on a Gucci inspired colorway is Creative Recreation with this ‘Gucci Pack’ consisting of a Dicoco hi and low top models. Each of the two sneakers sport your usual Gucci-esque colorway with black leather on the toe and heel, black mesh around the ankle and on a portion of the side panels with green and red nubuck wrapping up the rest of the upper. Both shoes also have a white midsole with red stitching and a black outsole. Is the Gucci theme getting a little carried away or can you never get enough of em?

STPL x Star Trek x Airwalk Terrain Collection
Tomorrow all over the nation Trekkies will unite as they all visit their local music/video retailers to pick up the most recent chapter in the Star Trek saga to be released on DVD. To coincide with the DVD release the folks over at Star Trek reached out to Jeff Staple and Airwalk to have them design a few Airwalk Terrain’s. If you recall back in May 2008 they released a Silver Enterprise Edition of the Airwalk Terrain which was sold exclusively through Reed Space.
For the latest collection Jeff Staple and Airwalk put together three colorways of the Terrain which happen to be inspired by the Star Trek uniforms. You have “Engineering” Red, “Command” Gold and “Science” Blue. Each of the tree shoes feature a few Star Trek delta shield logos as well, one of the back, another on the front and a third on the tongue. Unlike the Silver Enterprise Edition neither of the three shoes include Star Trek branding on the tongue.
The red and blue versions are available now at both Reed Space and select Payless retailers while the gold version is only available as an online exclusive through Reed Space. Click here now to check out more detailed photos of all three.
Sneakerness x KangaROOS
Sneakerness, the traveling sneaker exhibition has recently been tapped by KangaROOS to take part in a collaboration involving the Slam Dunk and the Game high top sneakers. One of the shoes comes in a white/red colorway with the other in black/white. The signature KangaROOS kangaroo logo is included across the side of the upper on both sneakers as well as on the tongue tag. Sneakerness is printed onto a tag stitched onto the tongue and KangaROOS is printed across the strap. I happen to be a KangaROOS owner who can vouch for their comfort, and know a great deal about their history, however i am not really familiar with all the new styles the company has dropped some im not to sure which sneaker is which here.
