Put the boot in – Blundstone

There are few footwear brands with such an enviable heritage and iconic status as Blundstone. The Australian brand have been producing their ever ready, tough, quality boots that are equally at home whether at work or play since 1870. Their boots have combined hardy resilience with classic style and appeal. Each Blundstone boot is finished with the core design element of the boot loop, a ‘tab device’ that contains the recognisable Blundstone logo. Whether its as a work boot, a trusted festival footwear or versatile shoe, which completes any formal to casual look effortlessly.  Every pair of Blundstones are designed to be a true, trusted partner, for every journey. Wherever you go, and whatever life throws at you, Blundstone will help you on your journey.

Staying true to their Antipodean history the colour plaette of Blundstone boots is inspired by the unique landscape of Tasmania, using shades and tones such as rustic brown and black and stout brown.

This season the brand have launched a stand alone retail experience which encapulates Blundstone’s ethos of action, initative and classic style with a new 600 sq ft store in the heart of London’s Covent Garden. White walls are covered with minimalist wooden shelves finished with black detailing. The rear of the store will feature a floor to ceiling countryside landscape in contrast to the concrete accents surrounding the store. Ferns line either side of the shop floor, emphasising the town and country adaptability Blundstone provides.

CEO of the brand, Steve Gunn, sums up the thinking behind this launch because, “With over 200 products available today throughout 50+ countries, we are extremely excited to provide our customers in the UK with an all encompassing Blundstone shopping experience. This store allows us to create a one stop shop to showcase the breadth of our product set.”

The Converse One Star – the comebacks on!

WORDS BY ISAAC PERRY

Converse has to be one of the greatest sneaker brands ever to have existed, originating from the great US of A, the brand has gone on to global domination, with some of their designs being the most worn sneakers over the last couple of decades.

Funnily enough the Converse footwear was never intended to be a casual shoe with early designs created for the Basketball court, but then in the early 90’s the company found themselves fully submerged in the street style scene.

The most popular design being the Chuck Taylor, one of the most recognisable shoes of all time, however in more recent times the One star has increased in popularity thanks to the onslaught of new colour ways.

The new-borne popularity also comes with much thanks to multiple celebrity endorsements and collaborations on the one star. Just to name a few; Leo Mandella (@Gullyguyleo) is the face of the new campaign for the brand as well as Tyler the creator (@feliciathegoat) collaborating on the style to create the Converse X golf le fleur.

The Converse one star hotel is open for the next two days, offering the opportunity for a peak at their most recent and unique footwear as well as offering a chance to take a look at some of the workshops available.

Celebrity guests expected to make an appearance include; ASAP Nast, Young Lean and Tizzy T, alongside social media influencer Leo Mandella.

Converse have remained with the basic styling of their shoes. Now finding themselves a must have for every wardrobe due to it being incredibly versatile and thanks to a wider colour selection now introduced, there is a one star for every look you could possibly think of, and with spring just around the corner this is a shoe we highly recommend you pick up and stay true to size with!
