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.

Kevin ”Saer” Leong proudly presents his signature collection Origami. The collection is based on the ancient Asian art of folding paper. The collection will only be available to select retailers on a limited distribution. This after it was successfully launched with a special collection designed for Hampton retailer Blue and Cream. The collection features Italian red salvage denim, lamb, wool and cashmere jackets, and shirts.
Here we present you one of the signature pieces out of the collection, the puffer vest – a collaboration with DuPont on a Tyvek® puffer vest stuffed with $5,000 in shredded U.S. Currency. The reversible vest is lined with transparent mesh to expose the currency which also doubles as down. Limited to only 100 pieces, the vest stays synonymous with the name of the luxury brand by combining attributes such as geometric corner folds and crease patterns on high quality fabrics. The art of paper folding indeed.
Definitely an interesting approach and something to watch!
