Hikmet of Solebox Discusses Passion for Footwear and the Reebok 30th Anniversary Classic Leather

Hyperbeast - Tue, 2013-05-21 23:00

Behind every great product, there is an underlying passion, and this is perhaps no more true than when considering footwear. The lines of classic silhouettes can never be replaced, creating its own stories and followings as the shoe takes on an iconic status. The 30th anniversary of Reebok's Classic Leather has led the brand to celebrate the stores that have facilitated the shoe's success. One such store is Berlin's Solebox, an iconic shop in its own right, and one that has been an ambassador to the city's footwear scene since its inception. In considering another part of Reebok's Certified Network, we sit down with Hikmet, one of the essential driving forces behind Solebox. Discussing his thoughts on 'exclusivity,' how the store began, and his undying passion for sneakers, Hikmet is a prime example of turning passion into reality. Enjoy the video above.

After a preview at Beyonce's new Pepsi commercial -- and for a fortunate few, a debut during the Paris leg of Bey's 'The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour' -- the full-length of "Grown Woman" is now available for our streaming pleasure. Produced by hit producer Timbaland and co-written by The-Dream, the tribal-esque single merges contemporary pop motifs with world music sensibility. Funky, energetic with odes of feminist vibrations, the single will no doubt fill dance floors in the months to come. No news as to where the track will end up but it'll most likely appear on her forthcoming untitled fifth solo LP. Stay tuned.

Hyperbeast - Tue, 2013-05-21 17:10

Drawing inspiration from punk rock, motorcycle culture, and perhaps even Labyrinth, Spanish legacy brand Loewe teams up with COMME des GARÇONS JUNYA WATANABE MAN in a collaborative range for Fall/Winter 2013. Here we find both brands contributing their signature edge; where COMME des GARÇONS JUNYA WATANABE MAN contributes its sense of patchwork pairings and slim silhouettes, Loewe brings its mastery of premium leather goods to the range.
