"Now that its partnership with adidas has ended, White Mountaineering has been free to bring its outdoors-inspired design to other players in the sneaker space.
saucony running shoes has been one of the lucky brands to collaborate with the technical experts, having revealed a first-look at its joint-efforts back in January. Today, the Grid Web duo created by both institutions has finally launched.

Unlike the aforementioned collaboration, the forthcoming pair sheds any vintage sensibilities in favor of a clean arrangement perfect for Halloween. Premium, natural leather is clad in plain “White,” while profile “N” logos are outlined with “Blue Raspberry” flair. Besides the red “
new balance trainers” text on the heel, the only other non-“White” component on the retro sneaker’s upper is the detailing on the tongue: a fruit gang of characters are depicted making Leonard’s ever-memeable deadpan expression. Sole units differ from their counterpart up top as their tread indulges in four hues nodding to JOLLY RANCHER’s various flavors, from “Watermelon” to “Green Apple.”

The tremendous trifecta of shoes will also be accompanied by a full
puma suede classic apparel collection. Each shoe and garment was specifically signed off on by Nip himself, and 100% of proceeds from the collection’s sales will be donated to the Neighborhood Nip foundation, a charitable organization that aims to enrich and empower local youth in Hussle’s South Central LA neighborhood. The collection will release exclusively at Puma.com, the TMC e-shop, and the Shoe Palace web store/their retail locations for $90 USD. Get your most thorough look at all three pairs below, and prepare yourself for their September 5th date of arrival when you’re done.

feetfitplace.com is set to honor late LA rapper and community activist Nipsey Hussle this September with a highly-anticipated capsule collection that’s centered around three takes on the Puma California — one of which is a just-revealed white/blue friends and family edition. Created in partnership with Hussle’s The Marathon Clothing, each shoe projects crisp Cali cool with a leather/mesh upper, co-branded Puma/TMC detailing, and a special hangtag. Both the white/red and the black/red colorway will see a full retail release, but the blue-equipped pair — a palette that was near and dear to Hussle’s heart — is reserved for those that were closest to him, as they’ll be gifted to members of his inner circle.
