When Stussy integrated its hemp construction into their Air Force 1 collaboration in 2020, it took customizers of Instagram 0.08 seconds to take the textile into their own hands. The black pair was often acid washed, while the “Fossil” pair lent itself to all kinds of dyeing techniques under the sun. Now, for 2021, the streetwear imprint is offering up their own hand-dyed spins on the sneake4r, each coming straight from the hands of Lookout & Wonderland out in LA.
As teased via Stussy’s official IG account, their second round of Uptowns offered will feature five color options, hand-dyed by Lookout & Wonderland who specialize in plant color, medicine, and fibers. Each release is set with care, prepared in tannins, and then slowly working in the plants into the uppers afterward. Along with their inimitable shades and skin-soothing properties, the latter floras also represent the five cities chosen for the label’s historic “World Tour.”
If you’re looking to grab a pair for yourself, limited pairs will be available at 10 am PST on January 29th exclusively from Stussy.com.
