Dover Street Market New York x Carolina Sarria
“The Venue” collection harnesses the raw untamed energy of punk rock with each design challenging the status quo, comprising of four coats and seven tee-shirts. Carolina Sarria‘s works are layered tapestries of freehand illustration, found materials, craft and fashion, all imbued with social commentary and subtle challenges to gender norms and Latino stereotypes.
“Like a cherished piece of art, my creations are meant to be treasured, to be held close and revered. They’re not just fleeting trends; they’re timeless symbols of self expression and defiance. In a world where conformity reigns, my collection is a reminder that true beauty lies in embracing the unique and the authentic, celebrating the rebellious spirit within us all.” Says founder Carolina Sarria.
The collection is exclusively at Dover Street Market New York, Los Angeles and on its U.S. website.
Dover Street Market London: Comme des Garçons x Nike Air Foamposite One
Comme Des Garçons have joined forces with Nike to reinvent the Air Foamposite One. As one of Nike’s most recognisable sneakers, this collaboration is the first time the exterior shell has been customised to feature a unique 3D ripple pattern that covers the shoe’s forefoot and mid-foot. The embossed design is the latest element by Comme Des Garçons Homme Plus, which is also seen on the sneaker’s heel. Other additional touches include a white streak down the tongue with gold, silver and bronze metallic pulls on the tongue and heel.
Shown in a “Cat Eye” marbled Foamposite, the sneakers are available in U.S. men’s sizes 5-13 and U.S. women’s 6.5-14.5. The Comme des Garçons x Nike Air Foamposite One will retail for £335.00 GBP (approximately $325 USD) and launch exclusively at Dover Street Market stores globally as well as the Dover Street Market online shop on July 19.
Dover Street Market Japan: Bentgablenits x ASICS
Charms have been big on bags recently, but have you ever charmed up your shoes? Bespoke DIY brand, BENTGABLENITS, have teamed up with ASICS on four special edition GEL-1130s expanding on their upcyling roots and re-invigorating wardrobe staples with their own signature adornments. These one-of-a-kind sneakers are all of which feature a different combination of charms, attached throughout the shoe.
The general release editions arrives in two colorways, one in a classic black and white color scheme and the other in a white, green and blue mix featuring hand-dyed velvet laces. Both feature plastic charms from the ’60s and over 200 pairs will be available for general release. Each of the charms have been meticulously sourced over the course of five decades around the world, most of which have dated between the ’30s and ’70s.
As each shoe is essentially unique, this collaboration genuinely embodies the concept of “A Prize in Every Box,” which is also the project’s name.
The shoes launch on July 20 at Dover Street Market Ginza, Japan.
