Loewe goes on the run

If you’re feeling bad about those beat-up, five-year-old running trainers sitting in the corner of your room, you’re in luck: Loewe has released the third instalment of its collab with Swiss sportswear aficionados On with a brand new trainer. The Cloudtilt features On’s signature ​“cloud” technology (so-called because, you guessed it, it feels like you’re walking on clouds) in a range of bright Loewe tones – lime green, purple, khaki, black – all made from recycled polyester. Guess there’s no excuse to skip that jog now, eh?

Calling anyone with a sk8r in their life: this is a prime op for an early Christmas present purchase. Converse and Phaidon have teamed up to create the aptly-titled Skateboard, a hefty book exploring the history and evolution of skateboard design through more than 100 boards, from the sidewalk surfers of the ​‘50s and the 1963 Skee-Skate, to the 1989 Mike Vallely pro-model and the decks on show at 2020’s Tokyo Olympics. If you’re feeling extra keen, check out the accompanying exhibition that’s showing at the Design Museum from 20^th October.

Puma and Pleasures have just announced the second instalment of their collab, which mixes references from the brands’ respective German and LA heritages. You can grab hoodies and tees sporting Sportartikelhersteller graphics (which translates to ​“Sporting goods manufacturer” in German), or two new colourways of their Y2K-influenced Velophasis sneaker, this time in off-white or red and orange. They’re going hard on Puma’s German roots to celebrate the release, too, with a rave in Berlin during Oktoberfest. Sehr gut!

The latest from Puma x Pleasures is available from 21^st October from puma​.com, plea​sures​now​.com, Puma flagship stores and selected retailers.

The latest in the neverending conveyor belt of Palace collabs: a collection with crockery legends Wedgewood. Including a teapot, plate, cup and saucer, all made from Wedgewood’s fine bone china, the unlikely link-up features a colourful strawberry graphic pattern from Palace’s archive that takes its cues from Wedgwood’s famous wild strawberry and vine pattern.

Celebrating the collaboration is a firmly tongue-in-cheek campaign that riffs on the much-loved daytime TV show The Antiques Roadshow, with Palace riders Savannah Stacey Keenan, Danny Brady and Chewy Cannon appearing alongside Roadshow stalwart and ceramics expert Lars Tharp. And if that’s not enough, Palace has also just released its latest winter drop, with a host of cyber-print puffer jackets, rugby tops, hoodies and woolly hats just in time for the sudden chill.

You can nab the Palace x Wedgewood collection from 11am on Friday at palaceskate​boards​.com

Black is the new black, according to Stone Island’s latest collection with Dover Street Market. Marking the first time Stoney has featured in the department store, the 20-piece capsule is primed for the winter months with cosy coats and knits, almost all of which are black. The capsule launched this Saturday in Dover Street Market Ginza with an installation inspired by Hannibal’s crossing of the Alps back in 218 BC. Available to view now, it features 19 Pure Metal Shell pieces from AW99. If only Hannibal had Stoney to keep him warm back in the day, eh?

Young Welsh designer Adam Jones was inspired by ​“simpler times in working class Britain’s past” for his latest collection. With pieces ranging from wonky rugby stripe sweatshirts and layered string vests, to prim-and-proper pinafores and beer mat-print jumpers, the collection is a nostalgic ode to the classic British characters we all grew up around: ​“the village priest who also referees matches on Saturday, the local amateur jockey who wears his stripes even to get a pint of milk from the corner shop, and the lads on a stag do tormenting the town.”
