3D animation rarely gets the props it deserves. Pixar are doing their thing on the kiddie tip, but what if your taste runs more to sphincter-clenching action, topped off with mind-blowing sneakers? Sigg Jones is that film and thanks to the tenacity and genius of three French film students (Asterokid, MCBess and Motraboy), 3D animation has never looked so dope! Based on a superhero gone postal, the film showcases some of the most hectic battles this side of the Matrix. But forget about the punch-ups, this animation is all about the Magic Dunk. One of the slickest rides we’ve seen this side of the hybrid highway, the Magic Dunk takes the Yeezy to a whole new level! We had to find out more, and luckily for us, the three fellas were happy to give us the 411.
Packed full of positivity and punch, there’s a new kid taking pole position in the female sneaker market.

Doing things her own way is the key to keeping it real, and Kim has become the figurehead for a new style of lady sneakerhead.

And did we mention that all Keep products are cruelty free?

Stanley Roger Smith is tennis royalty. He won 39 singles titles over his whole career including both the US Open and Wimbledon. He’s righteously old now, but in his day he was fierce! Sneaker afficionados will immediately associate Stan’s alliterative name with one of the earliest ‘signature’ player models. The ‘Stan’ as it became known, was as simple as simple can be and was distinctive for what it didn’t have – the traditional adidas three stripes. Rather, the shoe was embellished with linear perforations that were perfectly understated and complemented the low profile, slimline tennis silhouette. Since its debut in 1971, over 30 million pairs have been sold! We managed to lob Stan a few when he came to our part of the world...
