Just after presenting you last week the big JB Classics x DC Shoes collaboration, we present you today another big collaboration project by the independent sneaker brand. Three years in the making, we show you today the outcome of the JB Classics x DJ Funkmaster Flex x Ford collaboration. The project consists of two sneakers, one made with each partner in this three-way project.

The JB Classics x DJ Funkmaster Flex Getlo comes with a true-blue nubuck toe box and heel panels, white full grain toe vamp and perforation details. The inner leather skin lining features the “FMF” logo print in accent colors to match the outer sole. The shoe is packaged with two sets of laces, is individually numbered and comes with a Certificate of Ownership and cinch bag. Limited to 240 pairs worldwide, shops that will carry the sneaker include Deep Store (Paris), Overkill (Berlin), Garage (Switzerland), Qubic (New Zealand) and Moe’s Sneaker Boutique (NYC), with more coming.

The JB Classics x Ford Getlo comes with an equal amount of details. Most of the shoe is covered in the trademark blue of the car brand and the tongue features a large embossed Ford logo. The inner lining matches the outer sole and the red accents give a nice contrast. Packaged with two sets of laces, Certificate of Ownership and cinch bag, this model was exclusively developed for Ford Motors and it looks like it will not be going on sale.

A very impressive project by JB Classics. In a marketplace that is mainly ruled by large corporations, the brand manages to stick out with unique projects and collaborations. Look out for the DJ Funkmaster Flex Getlo to go on sale soon.
An online presentation of the entire project you can find here. After the jump many detailed pictures of both sneakers.

Over the past couple of weeks we have played several video trailers introducing a much anticipated project between DC Shoes and JB Classics – the first sneaker-to-sneaker collaboration – Imminent. We see new collaborations every day and the word collaboration is many times being stretched. In this case two befriended brands that appreciate each other got together to create something special.
Both DC Shoes and JB Classics are known for their strong artist collaborations as well as excellent footwear. The two brands coming together and joining forces to create a sneaker had to be something interesting and to look out for. We digged a little deeper and had a talk with Jason from JB Classics, as well Damon, co-founder of DC Shoes, in order to find out how the project came together, what the outcome is and what the process was.
Read the Interview and see for the first time the sneaker, as well as the New Era cap and crewneck sweater that came out of the DC Shoes x JB Classics collaboration.
