3D Sneaks - By Kev Callus

Ever seen your sneakers in 3D? I didn’t think it was possible until I came across these. I’m not one for rejoicing in French heritage (as I’m not French), however I did take a shine to these. I’m actually quite happy to have found another use for my 3D specs rather than just using them for the cinema and magazines (Remember Dinosaurs back in 1993! I loved making those model little dinosaurs). That was probably my first memory of interacting with 3D tech.
But now, I get to appreciate my trainers in 3D and just reflect on how good they look all day. I’m not a vain person, I swear, it’s just a new way to embrace the sneaker.

Lacoste is celebrating their French heritage by using the country’s tricoloured flag for inspiration. The brand have released three sneakers, in three colours designed in blue, white and red all in 3D, each with the added touch of outerwear ski-hook eyelets as an alternative design to the vulcanized sole! Quite cool and off the wall. They have even produced a short film launching these styles which you will find at the bottom of this post.

2010 seems to be the year of 3D. A resurgence worldwide has hit the screens with Avatar instigating it all. I watched Alice in Wonderland quite a few months back and was impressed. I remember flicking through a copy of Zoo earlier in the year, and I even got to see boobs in 3D (whoop whoop!). The footwear world has not missed out on this trend providing every sneaker-head with a huge treat!

The Almeida hi-tops are £85 each and are coming soon to Lacoste stores. I hope they come with the specs…

Thanks for reading,

Kev.
