Bright & full of life: Aminé x New Balance

In a rare instance, the Kuwait local fashion influencer @del.ten shows us his crazy closet full of the most coveted grails you can put your feet in. In his words: “My intense interest of constantly doing what I’m mostly passionate about as it relates and identifies my energy and vision.”
Coveted London menswear designer and Gorp Core poster boy: Kiko Kostadinov
Fashionable footwear trends have recently diverged, with some suggesting a post-sneaker era and others reveling in the prolonged popularity of Samba-style shoes. London designer Kiko Kostadinov‘s collaboration with Japanese brand Asics has notably influenced the rise of comfortable sneakers among the fashion-forward crowd and keeps on raising the bar overall.
New twist on classics: Clarks x Daniëlle Cathari
After partnering with London’s Kurupt FM for a Wallabee silhouette, Clarks Originals has now teamed up with Dutch designer Daniëlle Cathari for a fresh take on the classic Wallabee. Cathari’s debut collaboration with Clarks Originals showcases her unique feminine and subversive style, featuring a mix of textures and colors across various colorways.
Mountaineering’s finest: Mammut x Hiking Patrol
Swiss brand MAMMUT collaborated with digital brand Hiking Patrol to launch the Sapuen Low GTX, a versatile hiking shoe suitable for both mountain treks and daily wear.
