As you may already know, in what might seem like a odd pairing, Jeff Staple has partnered with Airwalk to create a new collaborative collection to be sold in Payless shoe stores. To kick-off the endeavor, Airwalk and Staple hosted a Past.Present.Now launch event at New York’s Openhouse gallery where they showed off some of Airwalk’s classic models, as well as the 9 new styles designed by STPL. Over 400 guests were in attendance to show their support to the project with DJ Neil Armstrong providing the sounds for the evening. The Staple Design x Airwalk collection will be available in nationwide Payless stores and on their website beginning August 11th. For further info on this intriguing team-up, you can check out www.stplxairwalk.com. Via Freshness.

In my opinion good for Staple. Example of why this will work is that people rock casio g-shocks (pos watches).

Had fun at the event. I believe this is a great idea, it’s like when H&M get togather with Karl Lagerfeld. Bring great fashion to the masses at a low price. Even if Joe Shmo in Kansas who isn’t a sneakerhead may buy these shoes because they look great, and is affordable. I think from this example more streetwear designers may do the same thing.

He’s a genius. Think about how many people will know the name Staple after this. Also, those Star Trek kicks are badass.
