Sorry I just couldn’t resist this and I know a lot of people would say, “you should know better” or “That’s not for you”. But I’m sorry, IT’S THE SIMPSONS ! Yes Matt Groening’s genius creation telling the madcap tales of a dysfunctional, working class, Middle American Family of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie with a whole host of iconic and unforgettable sub characters including Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Moe Szyslak, Milhouse Van Houten, and Patty & Selma Bouvier. Since its debut on December 17, 1989, 639 episodes of The Simpsons have been broadcast and entertained the world over. 

So with its impact of modern pop culture it was only going to be a matter of time before it was tapped into, in a stylistic fashion sense and who else but the King Midas of e-tailing ASOS, the brand who can do no wrong have collaborated with 20th Century Fox, the owners of the brand, to create a retro inspired, painfully cool but incredibly and infectiously desirable range of 34 pieces of bold T-shirts, jeans, sweatshirts and more so what are you waiting for clip on so you d’oh(n’t) miss out !

As summer goes so quickly every year we thought it was only fair to begin with some Autumn/Winter trends and our number one is warm shades of brown or as others would call it Camel! However when you choose to Rock a full Camel look it actual is very bold and standout, however using different tones throughout the outfit is key to break up the look and optimise the overall look.

Paired with a minimalistic pair of white trainers is when a Camel look is at its strongest, please steer clear of any bright colours with this tone.

However alternatively if your aren’t a massive fan of a one tone look there are individual pieces which can still give you massive amounts of style credit (ish), chucking on a pair of denim jeans or a denim jacket and layering them give off a zero effort feel whilst still looking at your best!

Three pieces, which we highly recommend you check out are;

1) Reiss Wool Epsom Over coat, it is made from 100% wool and simply paired with some cleanly tailored trousers just sounds beautiful, couldn’t possibly name a more iconic duo!

2) The Carhartt WIP embroidered logo sweatshirt offers a more streetwear alternative look in comparison to cleanly tailored trousers or jackets. Paired simply with a pair of denim jeans and Vans this is an incredibly clean look that you can’t go wrong with, not a streetwear fan? This may be your excuse!

3) Last but not least the Fred Perry Embroidered t-shirt, it offers a simplistic look, which can be worn across an array of styles, tucked in with a pair of tailored trousers, or rocked with a denim jacket you simply cant go wrong with this t-shirt.

Overall we high recommend that you give this colour pallet a go rather than thinking its not exciting enough and we look forward to seeing any future looks which you guys may have, full Camel is the way to go!!

ASICSTIGER, Footlocker and Visionarism have come together to create their own range of trainers! Thierry Tek and Ste Wing the co-founders of Visionarism went all in for this collaboration travelling across some of Japan’s key cities and eventually arriving at the home of ASICSTIGER in Southern Japan, in the city of Kobe, looking into the local culture and traditions, making the designs of these trainers something individual which we haven’t seen before.

The duo created two variants of the HyperGEL-LYTE one in black and one in a white colour way. The design process took 12 months and the duo also travelled to footlockers hometown in New York to learn more about the brand and its values!

The HyperGEL technology is renowned for its extreme comfort and the next in the HyperGEL series is the HyperGEL-LYTE it perfectly holds the design elements, however is even more comfortable and lightweight then seen in the more original sneakers!

They have also created a middle cut alternative of the sneaker called the HyperGEL KAN this shoe reduces impact on the foot as well as reserving energy and increasing movement. All shoes within this collaboration contain a marble effect on the sole and go with almost everything.

Co-founders of Visionarism Thierry Tek and Ste Wing both commented on the impact they hope this has on the ‘sneaker industry’ – “We wanted to contribute to the sneaker community by creating ASICS silhouettes that represent us and our culture. We’re so grateful for being able to see our vision come to life at Foot Locker and this project is the proof that if you work hard, and always swing for the fences, anything is possible.”
