Twelves years ago, Nike introduced the Air Woven, a creatively constructed shoe with an unusual aesthetic that reigned popularity amongst sneaker heads and enthusiasts alike. Last week, Nike dropped the Free Inneva Woven, a modern take on its predecessor, which attempts to mimic the natural biomechanics of the foot by applying the meticulously developed 360-degree hand-woven system throughout the entire upper. From the speckled Free 5.0 sole to the premium-leather heel unit, waxed laces and embossed NSW branding throughout, it’s clear that Nike took no shortcuts in the production of this 8-hours-to-complete runner.

The hype and popularity surrounding these extremely limited Free’s resulted in them selling out internationally within a matter of hours. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to have the good folks at Off The Hook notify me the second they got these in stock, which earned me the first of twelve pairs they received in-store.

This timeless sneaker, whose influence derives from the Nike Tailwind, Vortex and Safari, features an all leather-and-suede upper with an incredibly successful and tasteful use of both textures and patterns throughout. The perforated toe, tongue and swoosh for example are all lined with a light-reflective sub-layer, while the predominantly grey silhouette is tied together with a contrasting neon orange ankle collar and a rich, dark tan inner, all of which is placed atop of a air-cushioned sole unit.

This extremely limited Tier Zero release comes in both grey and black. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a pair, as most stockists, if not all, have unfortunately sold out by now.

Hinoki’s available both in perfume and candle form here.

Wasting no time, I snagged one of the cotton made-in-new-york polka dot scarves from the collection while I still had the chance—as it already seemed to have sold out most places I checked. There’s really not much I can say that the pictures below doesn’t already illustrate aside from how light weight and breathable it is. The timeless white on navy polka dot pattern is an obvious classic, making it a perfect spring or cool-summer-night addition to my otherwise pattern-lacking attire.

You’ll find the video lookbook that accompanies the new collection (see below) is quite remnant of Kanye’s digi-glitch video for Welcome To Heartbreak

The boot itself is surprisingly light — compared to my Red Wing 877 anyway — and features a smooth calf upper with a Vibram Morflex sole put together by a storm welt, oversized brogue detailing, waxed leather laces and canvas pull tabs. The weather isn’t quite right for these just yet but I look forward to giving them some solid wear come spring and fall.

I threw this video together last month for a class of mine. The concept was simple: examine and focus on the details of a select handful of friends, showcasing and highlighting the subtle nuances in the outfits they were wearing that day. With the help of Vincent, Samia, Taline, Ernest, Gabrielle and Charles, I was able to piece this together into somewhat of a cohesive video. Hopefully my lack of planning and poor direction doesn’t show too strongly in this.

Admittedly, this was quite fun for work on. Maybe I’ll do more in the future.

The boot is a 6″ (though the #9184 offers a slightly lower cut) and features leather tanned at their own S.B Foot Tanning Company in Minnesota, a Vibram mini-slug sole, olive-brown waxed canvas hugging each side, quality two-tone raw-hide laces and like all their boots, are triple hand-stitched in the US using waxed thread.
