Nike have recently started releasing their new Footscape Wovens starting off with the World Cup series. It appears that there will be more Footscape Wovens coming from Nike. Thanks to Jeff Staple, here are the pictures of the Hideout Footscape Wovens on the left (also known as Richard Geres or Hamsters). The other pair on the right are the Fraser Cooke exclusive Footscape Wovens. Apparently, the hair on the sneakers are from the head of Fraser Cooke himself. I hope that’s a joke because it’s a bit disturbing. Nevertheless, these are hot sneakers. Check them out.
