The Lake & Stars x Nike Air Force 1

Lake&theStarsNike

Via Refinery we learn lingerie brand The Lake & Stars is collaborating with Nike on an Air Force I, which has to be on some top-ten list in terms of unexpected partnerships. In this image, one of the The Lake & Stars designers is working with Nike employee Weston on choosing the color and detailing for the custom pair so it’s highly unlikely that you’re seeing the finished shoe as opposed to a an office sample used to work against in building the collaboration.

The shoe is being built for the The Lake & Stars pop up store, which is set to launch on November 10th. The slight hitch with the pop-up we learned from Racked yesterday, is the sponsoring organization, BOFFO, used up all it’s money on Nicola Formichetti’s pop up and may not have enough cash to do any more pop ups. One hopes it all works out–wanna see the sneakers!

Artist Terrence Koh collaborates with Italian sneaker brand Forfex and Opening Ceremony on these fuzzy white high tops, which have been deemed “Bunny Boots.” On the OC blog, Forfex’s Gio Forbice interviews Koh and here is what he had to say about the shoes:

GF: Do you remember how bunny boots started?
TK: yes we were in the park in istanbul and we were both looking at the full moon and thought we should make all white boots about bunnys that live inside the moon.

On the next page, see the white moon boots that are part of the same collabo.

VansxJesse Jo (2)

Vans teams up with musician and muse Jesse Jo on a second collection, featuring cut-offs, jean jackets, cropped tops, fanny pack, backpacks, sox and even boy undies. Jo has been labeled the anti-it girl and indeed she does fly under the radar, which is kind of a nice–leave a little room for some mystery for a change.

See the rest of the lookbook on the next page, including a very neat blue velour mini dress with a cut out back.

NikeAutumn2011 (8)

Nike takes a more creative approach to its Autumn 2011 presentation by collaborating with female comic book artists Jan Duursema and Amanda Connor to create a “Make Yourself A Superhero” lookbook–an approach that takes the focus off of the celebrity athlete (which unfortunately there is a dearth of when it comes to females) and puts it squarely on the every day woman.

As for the artists, Duursema is known for her work on the Star Wars series and Connor has contributed to Mad magazine and has drawn for DC Comics’ Power Girl and Atlee.

We just posted up backstage images of Alexander Wang’s Spring 2012 show, as photographed by Julia Chesky and asked readers to identify the sneakers being worn by model Hanne Gaby Odiele, and Chesky herself let us know that they’re by Isabel Marant.
