Adidas Gazelle & Stan Ray OG Painter Pant

From the ’60s to today, the Adidas Gazelle Indoor Shoe is the comeback kick with plenty of personality. With premium suede uppers in bright contrasting colours, finished with that iconic Adidas 3-Stripe, the Gazelle legacy continues with a tried-and-true look. We can see why Beastie Boys loved them so much… Total Classic.

New Balance 550VTC & Beams Plus Painter Pants

Discontinued in the early 2000s, the 550 has return bigger than ever for, and for good reason. Popular amongst basketball enthusiasts and sneaker collectors, the New Balance 550 provides comfort, reliability, durability and a retro look. A vintage feeling sneaker should be styled appropriately; some ’90s feeling baggy denim jeans from Beams Plus ticks the box for us.
