It was bound to happen. Following in the footsteps of cigarettes, hot meals, and a lot of wierder stuff, your favorite sneakers will be available in a vending machine in case you run out suddenly. Onitsuka Tiger is Japan's original sneaker brand made infamous by its appearance in Kill Bill. The creative minds there have made a vending machine for trainers available to those in the London area on Carnaby Street. If you're in the area on the 14-16th April, you may have a chance to win a pair from the machine. Go check out this stunt for your self, and make sure you have crisp bills for the machine.
It's always interesting to see brands cross genres to team up with people from other industries. This time, Onitsuka Tiger collaborated with Mini on the R55 to celebrate the release of the Mini Clubman. The shoes come in three colorways: white, silver, and dark blue. Various design elements of the shoes are inspired by the design of the Clubman itself, with the front of the shoes made to look like the grille of the car or the rounded heel shaped for the pedaling movement while driving the car. This is definitely a good collaboration for both parties. Now available at Ripe.

The entire sculpture is a tribute to the vibrant and progressive thinking city of Tokyo which has come to define Onitsuka Tiger as a brand. The sneaker shaped city is filled with intricate details including skyscrapers, Narita airport, vending machines and subway trains throughout. Other consumable items have been created to go along with this giant sculpture such as key-chains and USB keys.
