Astoria in Wonderland

Astoria in Wonderland

Last December we completed the following shoe titled “Astoria in Wonderland�. It’s one of the rare sneakers which we’ve been able to create for ourselves over the last 2 years and we would have posted the images sooner but in defining procrastination to the extreme, we only edited the images today…
The majority of the design was created so that it is viewable only in the right light.
Otherwise, aside from the heel area, the shoe will appear to be simply BLACK.









In late March/early April we showed the sneaker to the Sydney based retail store Incu and discussed the possibility of doing a windows display (besides the fact that Incu is a store we relate to, there was the added incentive for us that Incu were in a prime position, a few doors down from SP1. Which for those of you who have been to Sydney will agree is a high traffic area).

Astoria VIII painted both Incu’s The Galeries Victoria & Paddington stores with the themes "Astoria in Wonderland" and "sinister / allure" respectively. We also customised a small number of Umbro by Kim Jones sneakers to tie in with each store's theme.
An original canvas poster was also painted by DLV for each store.

Below are just a few of the MANY images we took. You can see the full collection here:
