Toronto, Ontario’s Ransom Holding Co. has seen its adidas Originals collaborations sell with such great success that we’re now entering the third consecutive year of tag team releases. This latest drop incorporates a brand that’s a modern legend here in American (and anywhere their ‘World Tour’ travels), the Stussy x RANSOM x adidas Originals Plain CS Stussy. Three pairs offer a unique one-layered suede take on a lowtop desert boot-style silhouette with RANSOM and Stussy logos imprinted onto the lateral and medial heels, respectively. These might remind you of a shorter, more subdued version of the Stussy x Doc Martens that dropped a couple years back, but a crepe sole means these are more Clarks-like if anything. Click through to see royal, black and grey pairs and check for ‘em at Stussy Chapter and adidas Originals No.6 and No.74 stores starting Saturday, March 26th. via FRESHNESS

A trend that was emerging even before streetwear got shook up by 2008′s global financial meltdown, the deck shoe and its signature design elements are all over the place these days. What perfect time to embrace the classic styling on kicks like the Vans Chukka Del Barco and Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski than a time when the hottest youth fashions are striving for that ‘mature’ look. Just don’t forget where your beloved boat shoes got their good looks: the Sperry Top-Sider Bahama Chukka. These CNCPTS x Sperry Bahama Chukkas were colored up by the Boston-based boutique to evoke vintage naval outerwear with their simple tan and navy palette. Check out more shots when you click the jump below and look for these exclusively at Concepts in Cambridge, MA on Friday, October 15th.

Kid Cudi was just in Las Vegas at TAO for the Official Album Release Party for his debut record “Man On The Moon: The End Of Day”, the Kid was seen rocking a pair of Clarks Wallabee in brown leather. This change is no surprise for us as his peers have also gone beyond the sneaker for a new look. Kid Cudi who makes our Celebrity Feet often is usually in fresh Air Jordans or similarly rare kicks. Paul Pierce was also seen at the party but we were unable to get a shot of what he was wearing.

Boston’s Concepts has played a major role in sneaker collaboration and prove their versatility with this release. The Concepts x Clarks Originals Wallabees pack marks the first time Clarks co-branded with a retail brand and the results are stunning. Three super-glossy patent leather designs feature interlocking Cs etched on the outer heel, just below a Concepts hang tag and just above the store name burnt into the Wallabee’s crepe sole. There’s one each in marooon, navy blue and forest green and all should hit in September.

Supra’s ‘Fall 2009′ have dropped before the leaves are even in full bloom, but that won’t stop them from expanding the list. This time, it’s more Skytops. There’s a dope pair in crumpled cobalt blue leather, one in shiny green with a perforated underlay, a weathered kola brown edition that has purple accents, plus the TUF-equipped ‘Black Tape’ model. These should all be out soon at select Supra retailers.

Visvim already released their Christo Stripe sandals earlier this month, but these look a little cooler (literally). The Visvim Christo Sherpa Folk appears above in three new editions that look like they could (or already have) handle(d) the toughest of mountain conditions. In a combination of brown joints and another in black. The lighter brown pair features a purple stripe, while the darker has orange accents and the black pair ops for blue. All of these can be yours now if you’re near any F.I.L locations. via HB

Visvim has made its name by adding distinctive twists to classic styles and this newest collection is a perfect example. The Visvim Beuys Trekker Mini-Folk takes the classic Wallabee-like moccasin toed chukka and adss a few tasty touches. These four pairs each follow the same formula: rich suede upper with irregular toebox shaping to enhance the handmade look, a plastic cup on the heel in an accent colour and the same colour replicated on the embroidery of an otherwise white tongue tag. All of them also feature the Clarks’ signature crepe soles, but these look a bit stiffer than the OG Wallabees. There are three pairs in various shades of brown and another in black. The lightest brown pair features purple accents while the others have red and the black pair opts for blue. All three of these are ready now at F.I.L. via HB
