Frank the Butcher x adidas Originals Forum Hi ‘Hustler’s Crest’ – Available

Frank the Butcher x adidas Originals Forum Hi Hustlers Crest   Available

Jeremy Scott beat him to the punch in terms of utilizing a classic Three Stripes crest insignia on one of his adidas Originals by Originals releases this fall, but has there been a more luxurious adi-collab in all of 2011 than those pictured above?  Created in conjunction with the new Boylston Trading Co. online boutique, the Frank the Butcher x adidas Originals Forum Hi ‘Hustler’s Crest’ is a trio of soft suede classic hightops that evoke images of a goneby era with their gold embroidery adornments.  It’s the Lead and Cardinal pairs pictured here that retailers like Atlanta’s Wish just got their hands on; could the black pair be reserved for a later date, or perhaps friends & family only?  Click through to see more of these and let us know how they rank in a year full of monochromatic kicks.

When’s the last time you bought a pair of sneakers that took you aback to your childhood? A sneaker that gave you a burst of energy at first sight? We’re not just talking about a sneaker you purchased because everyone else had, but something that influenced passion and truly meant something to you at the end of the day.

Well, adidas Originals has teamed up with designer and creator Frank the Butcher for a collaborative effort nearly two years in the making that shall presumably be one to remember. The near extinct adidas Originals Forum Crest Hi has been resurrected and will return very soon.

Given the abundance of sneaker releases today – from hybrids to retros – its not too often that we come across a release that holds sentimental or significant value to the consumer. Just like Frank the Butcher, we’ve all found inspiration in some of our most beloved sneakers and it just so happens that the Forum Crest Hi was one of the sneakers to motivate the Butcher enough to finally bring it back.

Set to release in 3 colors: Lead, Cardinal and the Boylston Trading Company exclusive, Black, all will feature a gold crest embroidery and buttery soft tonal suede uppers. Read “The Hustler’s Crest,” a short excerpt from Frank the Butcher that explains this release and more here.

View detailed images of the upcoming adidas Originals Forum Crest Hi by Frank the Butcher and let us know what you think about the return of this classic sneaker. Stay tuned to SneakerFiles as bring you more on this release.

Frank Kozik x Puma Suede ‘Smoking Bunny’ Pack

Frank Kozik x Puma Suede Smoking Bunny Pack

You might have expected these a bit earlier in the year, but just as Jordan Brand has proved with their staggered releases, it’s not written in stone that all Chinese New Year sneakers be released in February.  But actually, despite the ‘Smoking Bunny’ character that appears on their heels, insoles, lacelocks and hangtags, this new Frank Kozik x Puma Suede trio isn’t a Year of the Rabbit-themed release.  Instead, they seek to draw attention to the artist whose name is scrawled upon the lateral heels with leather-toed red, black and blue colorways set to hit retailers shortly.  Check them out in more detail after the jump and let us know how these rank against comparable collabos like the Rick Griffin x Vans series.  via visioninvisible

Frank 151 x Vans Vault 106

Frank 151 x Vans Vault 106

Digital age tastemakers Frank 151 have to this point been known more for shedding light on trends than playing a direct role in their creation, but this new collaboration with Vans opens up a new territory.  The Frank 151 x Vans Vault 106 utilizes a classic Chicago Bulls ‘away’ colorup with a mix of leather and suede adding some depth of texture to the relatively simple design.  It’s a fitting colorway given that these have just popped up at Chi-town’s St. Alfred, and you can click on the jump below to see more images.
