We reported earlier on the latest issue of Sneaker Freaker, and how there were three covers.
House Industries collaborated with Medium Design Group on these wood-grain patterened suede shoes called the Arborist.
“Our approach is to collaborate with top brands that are outside the fashion industry, yet have the same ideals about design,†said scott milden, CEO of Medium. “House Industries is the leader in their market, with image and graphic elements that are really interesting. As designers, we’ve used House fonts forever, so we were excited to do a project together.†Says House Industries’ Creative Director Andy Cruz: “Working with MEDIUM on an original shoe design was a natural fit, because they share our commitment to celebrating the artist and giving credit to our sources of inspiration.â€Â
The Arborist shoes feature a laser etched pattern, hand-sewn edges, bright leather lining and natural cork midsoles. They are available in brown, tan and black and come packaged with five House Industries fonts.

As far as the snakeskin/gray/black and green colorway, it seems as though no-one has gotten their paws on them yet. Stay tuned for updated information.

We stumbled across these Court Force samples while browsing Nikeskateboarding.org. As you can see from the picture, the sneaker combines suede, patent leather and leopard print. These are slated to drop late ‘07 with a dunk high as part of the “Leopard Pack.” Certainly an interesting color-up, but hey, if anyone can pull it off, you can.
