Last but not least, part III of the weartested Bright recap. Have a look at part II here and part I here.
Supra
With probably the longest shelves and a shoe for everybody, Supra’s booth generated a lot of traffic. besides the recent releases of 2012 in updated colorways, they introduced a vulcanised version of the “Stacks”, Terry Kennedy’s pro model. The “Hammer”, that will be released in the following weeks was shown in new colorways, too and seems to sell quite good.
The new, vulc-soled Stacks.
The Hammer, Jim Greco’s signature style and inspired by a cut-down Skytop 3.
Lakai
With subjectively the most new models on the shelfs, Lakai definitely impressed. A new Guy Mariano, the first Vincent Alvarez, a Rick Howard boot in smooth brown and anthracite suede as well as the Quite Life capsule collection, there was something for everybody.
The newest Guy Mariano model that successfully combines a clean toebox and sophisticated lines with vintage running elements in the heel area.
The Vincent Alvarez signature style, well deserved and somehow brings back Lakai Manchester memories.
The Rick Howard/Fourstar collab boot was very well received according to the Lakai rep.
Lakai overview
adidas
Mark Gonzales is celebrating 15 years with adidas in 2013 and receives an expanded capsule collection including two new signature styles. Besides that, the Seeley is getting a color treatment by the adidas pros and the pro models of Dennis Busenitz, Silas Baxter Neal and Lucas Puig were presented in great new colorways for fall 2013. Adidas’ apparel offerings get broader and better with every season as well, especially many pieces of the Silas Baxter Neal range stood out.
Three columns, three team riders. Adidas presents great colorways every season, including fall 13.
The Mark Gonzales collection, at least parts of it.
The Adi Ease by Nestor Judkins, his third (?) colorway of the model and always a favorite one.
Other highlights
Praxis footwear had a tiny but stacked booth including an all rubber shoe, definitely an eye-catcher.
