The first collaboration between Sonra, the German brand founded by Hikmet Sugoer, and the Aberdeen based sneaker boutique Hanon, has as protagonist the Proto, a classic running silhouette manufactured in Germany and hand numbered.

The sneaker color-scheme goes back to 2011 paying homage to one of the most appreciated collaborations of the Scottish store, the famous Gel Lyte III "Wildcats" by Asics.

Handcrafted with premium materials and limited to only 200 pairs worldwide, each pair is individually numbered on the underside of the tongue as well as on a special suede hangtag.

If you don't want to miss the chance to get one pair of these beauties, mark on your calendar that the Hanon x Sonra Proto "Wildcats" will be available on the Hanon website only, via raffle. Good luck!

Asics joins the forces with the Japanese designer Sneakerwolf giving birth to a Gel Kayano Trainer dubbed "Anarchy in the Edo Period".

The shoe takes inspiration from the 18th century Edo Period, an era of great significance in Japan’s history, during which Japanese commoners were not allowed to experience luxury wearing shiny materials or royal colours like purple, red and gold.

In expressing rejection of these restrictions, the shoe features a white and purple mesh upper with a standout flame graphic that represents the fires evoked in the classic Japanese expression “fires and fistfights are the flowers of Edo”.

Two ‘A’ written in Sneakerwolf’s iconic Kanji-graphy and artistic style, one on the upper heel and one on the insole complete the shoe.
