Originally a combination of New Balance's 575 and 576 models the New Balance 574 of today features a reduced toe height than the original silhouette which creates for a sleeker profile as well as a simplified seam construction and a one-piece lining for improved on-foot comfort.

Suede uppers give the sneak a premium feel and the trail-ready sole makes it the perfect trainer for every day.

The History Files: Nike Dunk

Wed, 28 Apr 2021 00:00:00 GMT

The Nike Dunk needs little to no introduction, arguably one of Nike's most iconic silhouettes the Dunk is more than just a trainer.

With recent launches of the shoe selling out in seconds, the Nike Dunk is a cultural icon that represents way more than just a fresh pair of sneaks.

From its launch in 1985 to collaborations with Ben & Jerrys, Travis Scott and Supreme in the 21st Century, the Nike Dunk is a silhouette that fuses footwear with culture.

Original Nike Dunk High from 1985. (Nike)

The Launch of an Icon

Designed by former Nike Creative Director, and designer of the Jordan 1, Peter Moore the Nike Dunk was seen as the next step after the Air Force 1 from 1982.

Noticeably influenced by both the Jordan 1 and Nike Terminator the Nike Dunk was originally named the College Colour High however the shoe coincided with the 40th anniversary of the “first” slam dunk, which led to a last-minute name change.

On release, Nike launched the "Be True to Your School" campaign which is one of the most memorable and iconic collections from the Swoosh. The Dunk was designed as a shoe for college basketball teams. Nike wanted to provide Division One college team players with colour-coordinated Dunks which fans could then buy to match.

UNLV, Michigan, St. John’s, Syracuse, Iowa and Kentucky (amongst others) all received their own “Be True” silhouettes. Throughout the late 80s, the Dunk became a favourite among college students and basketball players but as the sport became more popular focus shifted towards sneakers which showed technical innovation meaning the Dunk became outdated.

However, this switch led to the transition from the courts to the skate parks for the Dunk. During the decade the Dunk saw subtle changes like the introduction of a nylon tongue to reduce weight, a shorter shaft and a thicker swoosh. These changes and the hard-wearing, thin sole saw the Dunk appeal to a whole new community.

From the Courts to the Skate Parks

The skate community quickly adopted Dunks as their go-to shoe. Dunks were spotted in skate videos and by the early 90s skating's most iconic figure including the Z-Boys and Mark Gonzales were repping Dunks. However, it took years for Nike to break into the skate scene.

Although Nike Dunks and Jordan 1s had been worn by skaters for years the brand had struggled to break into the division.

In 2001 General Manager of Nike SB Sandy Bodecker was given the task of revamping Nike SB. Bodecker’s solution was to make subtle changes to the silhouette sneakers already wore. He believed the Dunk should be reimagined with a version specifically for skaters.

Skaters Reese Forbes, Gino Ianucci, Richard Mulder and Danny Supa were drafted in as the faces of Nike SB to help create the best silhouette for skateboarding. Padding was added to the insole to reduce impact, and the sole was swapped for a thicker rubber for better traction against grip tape. However, the most obvious change was the replacement of the Nylon tongue for the 'fat tongue'.

When the SB Dunk Low Pro launched in 2002 Reese Forbes, Gino Ianucci, Richard Mulder and Danny Supa were each given an exclusive colourway inspired by the original "Be True" series.

Named the "Colours By" series each colourway was representative of its rider and was entirely intended for skaters.

Nike SB continued to drop collaborative Dunks with both Zoo York and Chocolate and Supreme. The Supreme SB Dunks saw the culmination of Nike Dunk's infiltration into the skating world as the first-ever non-Jordan sneakers to feature elephant print.

The Rise of the Sneakerhead

Fourteen years after the first release, Nike decided to re-release the 'Be True to Your School' pack in 1999. The re-releases saw a couple of new colourways drop, including the legendary 'Wu-Tang' Dunk. Featuring the same colourways as the Iowa Dunk, this silhouette featured an embroidered 'Wu W' on the heel. Just 36 pairs were created these were gifted to Wu-Tang Clan members and associates.

For sneakerheads, their main focus was to collect the 'Be True' pack however thanks to sneaker forums they became aware of regional exclusives like the CO.JP releases that were exclusive to Japan.

The search for regional exclusives led to fans making trips across the globe to find rare and new Dunks.

2001 saw the first brand collaboration Dunk with Stüssy. The design was the product of Gimme Five (the company’s European distributor at the time) founder Michael Kopelman, Simon Porter and Nike creative Fraser Cooke. The collaboration was sold exclusively at Stüssy's chapter stores and was available in three colourways, two highs and one low.

Released over the process of two weeks, each store was instructed to sell 12 pairs per colourway per day which created unprecedented demand.

A trio of Dunk High collaborations with Supreme kept the Dunk at the centre of the sneakerhead universe, however, a surge in interest in Jordan retros in the 00s meant that demand for Dunks fell.

Over the next few years, notable models from the “Brazil” and “Celtic” Dunks to a trio of collaborative Dunk highs with Supreme helped the Dunk stay at the centre of sneakerhead culture. By the mid-2000s, with a renewed interest in Jordan retros, Dunks began to falter; despite “Be True” retros in 2003 and 2012, respectively, for the most part, consumers lost interest in the silhouette.

Collaborations

Despite the fall of mainline Dunks in the 00s, the Nike Dunk SB was causing riots (literally) with collaborations such as Jeff Staple's 'Pigeon' SB Dunk Lows.

From collaborations with Guns 'n Roses to the trio of 'Bear' Dunks inspired by Goldilocks the Nike Dunk SB became gold dust.

However, demand for SBs began to tail off by 2010 but the decline in interest was swiftly followed by a comeback from mainline Dunks.

2015 saw the re-release of the 'Be True to Your School Pack', and put Nike Dunk back on people’s radar.

In 2016 Comme des Garçons Homme Plus put Dunk highs on the catwalk, with a black/teal/white colourway with a transparent PVC upper. Vintage was also making a comeback on the streets with an interest in vintage trainers taking off which led to the likes of Virgil Abloh and Kim Jones searching for the vintage silhouettes.

In 2019 Abloh and Nike released the Off-White Dunk Low inspired by the “Be True” colourways.

If there was one collaboration that has led to the increase in interest in Dunks we've seen over the past year it's the 'Cactus Jack' SB Dunk designed by rapper Travis Scott who has been spotted repping some of the rarest SB Dunks himself.

History Files: New Balance

Mon, 12 Apr 2021 00:00:00 GMT

With roots going way back to 1906, New Balance has over 110 years of experience in creating next-level trainers that combine style with comfort.

Starting as the New Balance Arch Support Company, the brand was founded by William J. Riley an English migrant living in Boston, Massachusetts. After being fascinated by the way the chickens in his garden balanced on their feet, Riley came up with an idea to create arch supports that had three support points.

This also explains why you might find an illustration of a chicken on the lid of your New Balance shoe box.

In 1927 Riley hired salesman Arthur Hall who went on to become a partner in 1934. Almost 28 years into the brand's journey and New Balance were yet to sell an actual trainer, instead, they focused on selling arch supports to workers who have to stand for long periods.

It wasn't until Hall sold New Balance Arch Support Company to his daughter Eleanor and her husband Paul Kidd in 1956 that the production of New Balance trainers began.

New Balance arch support had become a must-have for budding athletes by 1960 and it was these athletes that inspired the first New Balance sneakers - the Trackster.

Budding athletes had approached Eleanor and Paul asking for tailored sneakers. These requests led to the Trackster which was originally manufactured at home by the Kidds.

The Trackster was the first running shoe with a rippled sole for traction and the trainer was offered in a range of widths to accommodate all athletes.

Although the trainer was a success New Balance hadn't yet broken into the mainstream trainer market until it was purchased by the brand’s current chairman, Jim Davis, on the day of the 1972 Boston Marathon.

At the time, the Boston area had become the epicentre of the running trend that took over America in the 70s. At first, it was as seen as a phase but going for a run continued to grow in popularity into the late 80s. This gave New Balance the perfect audience and platform to release more trainers each year.

Although they were now releasing more trainers, Jim Davis kept the company’s tradition of individual fits by offering New Balance sneakers in a variety of widths.

Rather than naming their trainers, New Balance used unique model numbers which indicated the type of shoe, the activity it was designed for and whether the trainer was built for stability, or speed.

1976 marked the beginning of New Balance's global breakthrough thanks to the New Balance 320. Featuring the famous 'N' logo, the New Balance 320 was voted the number one running shoe on the market by Runner’s World magazine and was described as “the complete training shoe for beginning jogger and Olympic runner alike”.

Comprising of two layers of thick midsole Softee cushioning, a leather reinforced flocked nylon upper, moulded plastic counter for maximum cushioning and lateral stability and an Achilles tendon pad for added protection and support.

By the 80s New Balance had expanded their offering with walking shoes and Gore-tex running jackets, the 80s also saw the release of their most iconic trainer to date, the New Balance 574.

Released in 1988 and initially designed as a technical running shoe to offer improved comfort, the 574 took the tracks and streets by storm. With clean lines and eye-catching simplicity, the 574 is an instantly recognisable classic.

From the 1990s, New Balance continued to become a household name on the tracks and the streets and campaign trails with the US President Bill Clinton sporting the New Balance 1500 on a run and the creation of the New Balance 990 'Made in USA' for Barack Obama in 2012 before his re-election campaign.

Continuing to innovate running shoes, New Balance released Fresh Foam technology in 2014 - a newly generated shock-absorption system that provides wearers with a stable and high-performance shoe.

Since 2020 New Balance has seen a resurgence on the streets, the New Balance 524 and 327 have become must-have trainers this season and are the perfect silhouettes to style all year round.

Fri, 26 Mar 2021 00:00:00 GMT

At only 22, Jake 100 is a household name up and down the UK after smashing it with his biking YouTube channel, uploading regular content on his latest tricks and trips. Far from being just another YouTuber, Jake’s drive and ambition to instil the message that you don’t have to let your surroundings define you, is what has helped get him to where he is today.

Jake grew up in East London, where getting into gang related crime would have been the easy option, but that isn’t the path he wanted to take. He has showcased his talents across his social platforms to try and encourage other youngsters to get into biking to keep themselves busy and safe. Off the back of his videos, he has co-founded huge meet ups and bike rides across London for fellow bike enthusiasts called Bike Life which has seen his popularity sky rocket.

Quoted as once saying’ I quite literally want people to put their knives down and pick their bikes up’, Jake truly is passionate about his message after someone close to him was a victim of knife crime. His passion and drive is exactly what Nike is all about, so it’s no wonder they’ve snapped him up as a brand ambassador.

The History Files: Lacoste

Thu, 11 Mar 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Born in Paris in 1904, the brand’s founder, René Lacoste, would go on to become one of the biggest tennis superstars of all time, revolutionising the sport and the world of fashion along the way.

After being inspired on a visit to England with his dad, René took up tennis at the age of 15. An entrepreneur even back then, at 16 he modified his tennis racket handle to improve its grip, and by his early 20s he’d invented the very first piqué (woven) polo shirt.

The instantly recognisable crocodile logo that we see today was also inspired by his time as a tennis pro. Legend has it, that René bet a crocodile skin suitcase that he’d beat Australia’s top tennis player, James O. Anderson. Unfortunately, Anderson came out top on that occasion, but a journalist (who had heard about the bet) nicknamed René ‘Le Crocodile’ for fighting “like a real crocodile”. Although Mr Lacoste went home with a loss that day, a legacy was born.

Four years later, the nickname had well and truly stuck. René’s good friend, Robert George, designed a blazer for him to wear at an upcoming tennis match, featuring the very first crocodile logo on the breast pocket. That crocodile would be embroidered on every piece of Lacoste clothing from then on and made Lacoste the first brand to display a visible logo on an article of clothing.

René began selling coloured shirts in the US in 1952, but they struggled to take off due to the higher price tag. As a last ditch attempt, René’s partner decided to pass some Lacoste shirts on to his good friends JFK and President Eisenhower and as they say, the rest is history. Once the shirts were spotted on the rich and famous, the public couldn’t get enough and they were flying off the shelves. Fast forward to the late 70s, and the preppy look amongst American teens was beginning to take off, making the all white trainer, polo shirt and smart pants a look. Lacoste was now a fashion giant.

Originally famed for their polos, Lacoste is now a go to for everything from premium all white trainers to perfume and sunglasses to watches, they really have got it all boxed off.

Launch: Nike Space Hippie 04

Thu, 25 Feb 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Looking for a trainer that turns trash into treasure? The Nike Space Hippie collection is the OG of transforming scraps into sneaks and the Space Hippie 04 has officially landed at Footasylum.

As part of their 'Move to Zero' campaign we've seen Nike push their sustainability mission to the next level over the past few years with plant-based dyes and recycled materials and the Space Hippie 04 is no different.

As well as being one of the lightest sneaks in the Space Hippie collection, it also has the lowest carbon footprint. From the upper, to the outsole at least 25% of this sneaker is made from recycled material by weight.

The 'Space Waste Yarn' used on the FlyKnit upper of the silhouette is made up of around 75% recycled content including plastic bottles, t-shirts and material scraps. The lightweight yarns have been paired with a bootie fit for snug wear.

A Crater Foam midsole combines a blend of standard Nike foams with Nike Grind rubber made from recycled scrap and end-of-life shoes. As well as making these sneaks super sustainable the Nike Grind midsole creates a unique texture and colour mix on every shoe.

Dropping on Footasylum on Thursday is the Black/Volt colourway of the Space Hippie 04. The knit uppers, laces, tongue labels and pull tabs are all shades of black while exposed Flywire cables, the rear of the collar opening and sockliners add an injection of the Volt colourway.

Shop the Space Hippie 04 and discover our full collection of sustainable streetwear.
