HitopHeaven Modern Classics: Haroshi X Nike Dunk / Skate Deck Art (Winter 2010)

Haroshi X Nike Dunk

Modeled on an actual worn pair of Nike Dunks, these sneakers are actually sculptures. Haroshi has famously been making wooden art out of old skate decks for a few years now. The Nike connection goes deeper, as these were carved and shaped from the decks of the Nike SB skate team, skaters like P-Rod, Eric Koston, Lance Mountain, Cory Kennedy to name a few. The good news to appreciators, is that Nike ‘hope’ to put a real wearable version on the shelves possibly this year or in 2012 – flashes of the Nike Macaroon Pack here.

Price and pairs made will most likely be for the fortunate few.

Jeremy Scott X Adidas – Teddy Bear Pack

Jeremy Scott X Adidas – Teddy Bear Pack

Built over the famous Adidas Originals Metro Attitude Hi model shape, Jeremy Scott keeps coming out with new creations with and for Adidas, this time in these uniquely original Teddy Bear Pack. Having come out with the ‘Pink Teddy Bear Ballers Pack’ recently, previewed by SNKRFRKR Mag, these are the range aimed at men – surprisingly. These come as part of the Jeremy Scott X Adidas ObyO range – and it is hard to know how many will be made and for what price. HitopHeaven’s opinion is that if they are considered for production, that they will be available in Japan, USA, UK & Germany in limited stock. If you like these look back in the HitopHeaven archive for the Mickey Mouse hitops which were released in Korea earlier this year.

The Rise of HUF – HUF Footwear finding their feet

Founded in August 2002 by San Francisco based Keith Hufnagel – HUF was originally a skate shop specialising in the rarer items. Since then Hufnagel has opened a new store a year, and 8 years on has crafted his own branded footwear. The HUF collection is by no means exclusively hitop, and already with a collaborative project with the Converse Skidgrip Hi (HUF X 1HUND(RED)) (see image). Whilst the brand grows pairs will become more readily available, HitopHeaven will give updates of availability when possible.

The HUF collection includes the Hupper Hi Star – a canvas skate model with a leather panelling and a tonal leather brand badge sewn onto the side. Also woven brand tab sewn onto the tongue and further branding on the heel. The Converse collaboration with the AIDS charity RED was designed by Keith Hufnagel and Hanni El Khatib, who stated: “We wanted to reference the skate and surf vibe of the 1980s and the Skidgrip was a great, authentic foundation.” Available from 3rd October with money to charity from each purchase.

Y-3 Neo Tech

Y-3 Neo Tech

Available now direct from the Y-3 website are these Neo Tech hitops, a model inspired by both 90’s Basketball footgear of the past and futuristic materials that in some cases we’ve only seen in concept/prototype designs. At $370 a pair you would be joining a small fraternity of wearers, these hitops look great in the flesh in large and small sizes – and have familiar characteristics in acute areas like the toes and the soles reminiscent of Adidas Originals and Adicolor models since the millenium. These thankfully are unisex so available (currently) in sizes 5.5 – 12.5 US, and we hope for more of the same from Y-3!
