K-Swiss worked with high fashion designer Yigal Azrouel on a limited edition collection, which was first shown during NYC Fashion Week. The collection consists of overall four sneakers, which come in subtle fall colorways. Most interesting in the collaboration are for sure the high top sneaker and the low top, wich come with a five velcro strap closing.
Have a look at the entire K-Swiss x Yigal Azrouel collection after the jump.

Designed by rising star Julia Hederus, this new limited footwear collection is inspired by the style of K-Swiss wearing Hackney youth’s – who each add unique stylistic twists to their outfts.
Hederus’s work has already drawn favourable comparisons with the ‘clean and clever’ approach of Belgian menswear futurists, whilst her minimal yet subtly playful approach also carries distinct echoes of the Japanese school.
Oki-Ni has now secretly released the collection. You can only purchase it now via this link.

We take a first look at some upcoming Greyone x K-Swiss sneakers, that will be released in the near future. Taking inspiration from a mix of high end luxury brands, the sneakers come in premium black leather with red accents on the logo stripes as well as on the Greyone tag on the tongue. The perforation is inspired by a Bally’s jacket, the sleek black leather and gum sole were inspired by Louis Vuitton and the red stripe is a homage to Prada.
The GreyOne X K-Swiss Classics feature a full grain perforated leather upper, leather liner, 2 sets of waxed laces (black and red/green) and a classic gum sole.  There will only be 55 pairs made and they will be sold exclusively at G1SA and Greyone.com.

The shoes will be dropping in March/April and will also include a GreyOne X K-Swiss co-branded t-shirt.
Detailed pictures after the jump.

Once again KSwiss and the London based punk and fashion label Fake London get together. The two brands released another two models together adding some Fake London styling to the otherwise very simple and classic KSwiss silhouette. Just like in the first collaboration series one can flip the tongue of the sneakers and choose the design. This time they release one white sneaker and one black suede, featuring lots of embroidery all over it. Via LaMJC/Sold Out.

They are hard to describe as there are many small details. So, just head after the jump to check out detailed pictures of both sneakers!

After the JB Classics collaboration, the worlds largest touring sneaker exhibition, now got together with K-Swiss. Exclusively made for people attending the events, they created two colorways of the K-Swiss SI-18 Rannell sneaker – black/red and black/yellow. On the upper the sneaker features the trademark design of Sneaker Pimps. Overall only 50 pairs have been produced of the sneaker and we can clearly say that these are some of the nicest K-Swiss we have seen in a while. Via Complex.
Check out the other colorway after the jump.

The sneakers come in high quality leather, leather lining and some really nice accents. A nice comeback of their most iconic sneaker. These are now both available at Sold Out.
