What a shoe The Dignan turned out to be. Simple and effective.
Dutch heavyweights Patta teamed up with the once famed sneaker outfit Kangaroos to release a collaborative boot titled the PxK Hiking Collection. When The That’s Bone crew was in Amsterdam last month we picked up the joint collabo sticker for this release without seeing the yielded boot. A very nice collection nonetheless. And if the pair themselves don’t wet your skin flute, they come with the added bonus of a double branded Victorinox Swiss Army Pocket Knife.
It’s been a long and dark road since Nike has created a 1 that has utilized the simplistic origin of the shoe. Not one (with the exception of the hyperfuse tech) has been true to Bone standards. Yet, I give you the “Black Smoke”.
Can you say Space Jams? Say it with me: SPACE JAMS. This is what we call the Primitive x Gourmet Quadici first look. Spring 2012, folks.
Story: The background story for the shoot is a man obsessed, obsessed with Gourmet shoes. The book not only features the surroundings and environment of a highly educated man of taste, but if you look closely, in almost every room, the man has dozens and dozens and dozens of Gourmet shoes. So many in fact they do not fit in his closets. They are in his study, his bedroom, his maids quarters and his wine cellars. The concept was chosen to portray an aspirational vibe. One that shows Gourmet on the highest level.
