The Qubic x All Blacks x Adidas sneakers are a new pair of shoes that brings three different companies together for the very first time.

It’s a low-top style with a smooth, suede upper section highlighted by white stripes. Details on the Qubic x All Blacks x Adidas kicks include the New Zealand silver fern embedded on the back heel, and Qubic’s red interior.

The Qubic x All Blacks x Adidas shoes are a limited-edition run. Fifteen will be encased in a steel silver box and will be available first come, first serve on September 23rd at Qubic. The rest of the 85 will be available in-store and online the same day.

Time-Traveling High-Tops - The 2011 Nike MAG Pays Tribute to the Footwear of Back to the Future II (TrendHunter.com)

SuperstarThe 2011 Nike MAG Pays Tribute to the Footwear of Back to the Future II

I can’t decide whether “Back to the Future” fans or sneakerheads are going to be more excited by the release of the 2011 Nike MAG. The MAG is the fictional self-lacing Nike worn by Michael J. Fox’s Marty McFly in ‘Back to the Future II.’

The MAG has finally been made, but unfortunately, it cannot tie itself. What it can do is light up for five hours continuously. All that is needed to light the shoe is a full battery and a pinch of the shoe’s “ear” (the pouch located at the top of the shoe). The 2011 Nike MAG’s design is bound to be debated by sneaker fiends for years to come, but what isn’t debatable is the purpose behind the shoe.

Nike is releasing 1,500 pairs of the 2011 MAG, with each pair going up for auction on eBay. All of the proceeds from the auction, along with a $50-million donation made by Nike, will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. The auction will last for 10 days starting Sept. 8 with 150 pairs being auctioned each day. Rumor has it that the first few pairs have sold for as high as $75,000.

ProdigyUnibody by Julia Kaldy Explores Footwear That Blends With the Leg

Unibody by Julia Kaldy was created as part of her master’s thesis project. This collection of shoes was made to emphasize the different changes that legs seem to make depending on the shoe. The flesh-colored shoes were designed to merge with the rest of the body and help morph the legs so that they create different shapes. The higher shoes promote the legs to stand up and look thinner, while the flatter shoes manipulate the muscles so that they fall lower.

The Unibody by Julia Kaldy showcases a collection of architecturally interesting designs that push the boundaries of fashion. Kaldy uses the popular design aesthetic of cut-out art. Most of the collection uses this cut-out aesthetic so that the real flesh might show through the shoe and show the unity between the shoe and leg.
