Staple Shoes

To me these 3 models are the most important sneakers ever designed.



Clockwise, starting from left:

New Balance 576
First released in 1988 for the US market, but was dropped after failed sales expectations. Reintroduced to the European market in 1997 and never left since. This is a reissue from the mid 2000s an Exclusive Edition Made in England.

Adidas Campus
First released in the 1970s as the Tournament, but was renamed 'Campus' in around 1980. This is a reissue from the late 2000s called 'Campus 80s' where they made the last like it was in the 1980s.

Puma Suede
First released in 1968 it is also known as the States (for European market) or the Clyde (signature model for Basketball player Walter 'Clyde' Frazier). Over the years the shape of the shoe changed a lot and there are now 2 separate models the Suede (pointier toebox) and the Clyde (stubbier toebox). This is an early 2000s version made out of hemp and is also a bit different in shape and fit compared to the Suede and Clyde model.

New Balance 576 Crooked Tongues Special Edition

I've posted about these about a year ago and I finally had the opportunity to get my hands on 2 of the 4 colourways. Like I mentioned back then it was very hard hard to get a pair in this size when they released, but to still be able to get two pair in dead stock condition 6 years later was a very pleasant surprise.




These New balance 576's were released in 2004 in a special collaboration with Sneaker website Crookedtongues.com. There were only 50 pairs released per colourway, so the chances to get a pair were very limited. Even now it is still hard to track down any pictures or solid info on the release it self. Therefore I've tried to re-create the colourways in Photoshop templates from the picture that I have from the book 'Sneakers: The Complete Collectors' Guide.

Puma Basket Custom

The Base shoe is an early 2000s Basket. Really nice shoe, but I'm not a big fan of white leather, so decided to tweak them a little.




Glued and stitched some foam (from a sponge:) on to the back of the tongue for some padding and it also makes the shoe fit better and add something to the overall shape.


The result on foot


Didn't bother with all the branding, I could've stitched the tongue label back on, but they are a custom and I'm planning to wear them so you wont see it anyhow.
