Brooks Heritage has teamed up with Japanese sneaker brand Atmos to launch a limited edition version of its much-loved Chariot shoe. The Pacific Chariot will be available in the UK from 28 th February and celebrates two of the world’s most influential cities; Tokyo and Seattle. The Pacific shoe takes influence from the famous Brooks Chariot silhouette and metropolitan port city living. The colours are reflective of the deep blue ocean, captivating skylines and soft tones of the breaking dawn, all of which are familiar to both brand’s Tokyo and Seattle heritage. The Pacific Chariot plays on all the best-loved features of the traditional Chariot shoe but with an extra special offering. The upper shoe is crafted from a rich grey suede interspersed with perforated detailing in the tow box and side panels. This is offset by a deep blue collar leather lining with matching midsole wedge and heel logo, further emphasising the shoe’s link to the port cities of Toyko and Seattle. This...

F or this weeks outfit selection we have procured a traditional, clean look with subtle streetwear overtones perfect for Summer, capturing the current trend of a more refined and mature style. To start with we have the Wood Wood Damien shirt shown here in navy. Made from a lighter material than previous seasonal offerings, the shirt is crisp and breathable making it a suitable candidate for late summer nights. Next up is the Classic Chino from Japanese denim giants Edwin , made from a more robust 9oz cotton twill the chino is more enduring than previous versions but is still light enough to maintain comfort. As featured in some of the latest posts from Fat Buddha, the Adidas Superstar , shown here in navy, makes a timely return to the streets when considering the latest resurgence of minimal, classic trainers such as the Stan Smiths or Converse Jack Purcells. Over 30 years old and still jostling for top  summer sneaker, not bad from the old timer. To finish...

The iconic Adidas Superstar, the undisputed king of 80s sneakers, makes a triumphant return for Spring 2015. What you see in the latest inception is the ultra-deluxe version of the classic Adidas Superstar silhouette. Constructed in a fresh, premium off-white leather, the look is anchored with Adidas's classic 3-Stripes adorning the side panels and a heel patch in classic sports colours of Collegiate Navy, Green and Core Black. As with most things the devil is in the detail and it is that which makes this classic such a strong shoe. The shoe is finished off with signature Adidas stamps such as perforated side panels, smooth nubuck across the three stripes, gold foil branding across the tongue and heel and the iconic rubber shell toe. If your still looking for reasons to pick up a pair we'll summarize why we love these; the leather and nubuck used are amazing, the sole is sturdy and the silhouette is quite squared off which is something we have been missing with a lot of r...
