DQM FOR VANS FIRST ISSUE

Now these are excellent shoes, all really beautiful. As part of Black Friday shopping, DQM and Vans collaborate to release this exclusive Deluxe Holiday Collection. There's less than 100 pairs for each of the three styles and they're only available online and in store at The Vans DQM General, New York, which only opened two months ago.

The featured models are the Mid Skool '77, Chukka Decon and Era, all made with premium leather. I'd buy every one of them but if I had to take my pick, it would be the Chukkas in Military Green - very clean, finished to perfection. They will be released of course on Friday but I doubt they will last very long. A really impressive drop for me.

ADIDAS ORIGINALS x DQM SS10

Today is the release for these cool sneakers from adidas Originals and New York retailer DQM. Back in December, they collaborated to produce an all-black New York-inspired edition of the ZX runner, part of the Consortium City Series 2 Pack from adidas. And now, for the warmer season that is to come, they have chosen to revamp the subtle Rod Laver OG. The upper is made of leather and mesh and it's finished very clean and very simple. The only branding appears at the tongue which features the Trefoil and the DQM logo, as well as the Consortium logo at the heel. I think the lack of the Three Stripes just adds to the simplicity appeal and gives the shoe a polished look.

With quality leather, suede touches, and the use of refreshing colours, these sneakers are a beautiful luxury and rather awesome. Available in lemon, green and navy, each with matching ankle tab and herringbone outsole, they're perfect to wear in summer with flexibility of the bottoms. I love the vintage premium feel that these sneakers bring through the choice in colourway, material and design; simple simple simple. You can get them now from adidas Consortium retailers. As of today!
