AIR YEEZY: THE PAPER WORK

For those of you familiar with Filippo Perin’s urban take on origami, here’s a real treat: his nimble fingers and idiosyncratic imagination took on the challenge of making paper versions of the Air Yeezy. Ever heard hardened Sneakerheads go ‘Awww…’?

AIR YEEZY: A SHORT SHELF LIFE

There was more than a mere nip in the air last Friday when Shelflife (Cape Town’s foremost street style store) released the Air Yeezy in three colourways. But in the spirit of true Sneakerheads everywhere, the faithful were not deterred by less than welcoming weather conditions and history was made as the first pre-launch queue for sneakers in South Africa took form.

AIR YEEZY: THE PARTY

When a shoe like the Yeezy drops, it is a moment as memorable in Sneaker history as the very first time the Air Jordans saw the light of store displays. It deserves more than a poster in the window - it deserves a party!
