Spot the QR Codes with Soleheaven & the Trainer Angel
Soleheaven QR codes are popping up in the UK, find and scan them to get exclusive images… Dale tells us more…
“They appear to be the work of a sneaker obsessed character known only as the ‘Trainer Angel’.
City skate parks and popular bars on the arts and music scene appear to have been visited
overnight by the Trainer Angel. The installations are numbered and each location has a shoe
positioned in impossible high up locations as a physical signature. The sneakers that have so far
been spotted range from Nike Air Max, Supra, Asics and ltd edition Vans.
Close to each location is a giant sized paste up that wouldn’t look out of place on the streets
of Paris or Barcelona. The design is a bold industrial graphic design with strong lines, featuring
between the wings of the body a giant digital QR code.
Scan the QR code with your mobile phone and you’re taken through to the home of the Trainer
Angel where you can view exclusive images and connect with the Trainer Angel directly using
social media.
Newcastle upon Tyne continues to establish itself as a creative and leading cultural city with a hive
of creative commerce and business bringing a different kind of spotlight on the famous Geordie
shores.
Dale Parr, of Soleheaven says: “We worked last year on an exhibition with 20 artists including Dan
Baldwin, INSA and Mr Jago in an exhibition in Shoreditch. Called Kicks N Canvas. I wanted to do
something this year that was a little closer to home and directly related to the business.”
So sneaker-heads, keep your eyes peeled…

UK-based label Garbstore gave us a first look at their collaborative K-Swiss sneaker at (capsule) Las Vegas. Based on a Swiss Military sneaker, the shoe is a pared-down archival K-Swiss style done in a mix of canvas and leather with a ton of amazing little details – something Garbstore does very, very well. For example, the rubber toe seen above was completely reworked. To top things off, the sneakers will come packaged in a tin box. Nice one.

Last night PUMA and Undefeated officially launched their new collaborative Clyde project, aimed at breathing fresh life into the storied sneaker. The first shoe to release from the co-branded line is a premium leather style. Undefeated made several changes to the original look, removing the side and rear PUMA logos and adding embossed UNDFTD logos to the tongue and the insole, as well as moving and altering the “Clyde” text. They actually improved on the fit as well, and believe it or not the project will be on-going for several years. These first styles will release April 10th – the 10 signifying Clyde’s jersey number.
Last night Puma and Undefeated celebrated their Game Time: The Next Chapter Of Clyde Event at the House of Blues in Las Vegas.

Furthermore the new Undefeated collaboration Clydes were of course also on display, as you can see here above in the hands of Eddie Cruz.
