Given the success of the Osiris NYC83 "Baller Series" I was tasked with evolving that theme into the next season of kids footwear. Team colors, pinstripes, leather from the glove & the stitching on a baseball were all incorporated into these kids shoes.
WORKED WITH PROFESSIONAL SURFER JAMIE O’BRIEN TO INCORPORATE HIS LOVE FOR BOTH UTILITY AND THE SURF CULTURE. JAMIE REQUESTED A SHOE THAT GAVE OFF A RUGGED VIBE YET WAS A CHILL, COMFORTABLE SHOE TO WEAR AFTER SURFING. COLORS/HARDWARE ARE A NOD TO A TIMBERLAND- LIKE UTILITY WHILE THE MICRO-CORD UPPER & NEOPRENE LINING SPEAK TO COMFORT.
TAKING A “LESS IS MORE APPROACH” THIS RASTA THEME COLABORATION WITH SNOWBOARD OUTERWEAR BRAND HORESEFEATHERS IS A TESTIMENT TO THE TRUE POWER OF COLOR. JUST A HINT OF RED, YELLOW, GREEN WITH A NEUTRAL BASE EASILY CONVEYS A STORY AND DIRECTLY SPEAKS TO A CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHIC. HORSEFEATHERS WAS ADAMANT ABOUT THEIR COLABORATION HAVING A RASTA THEME AFTER SEEING THE BRANDS’ SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION OF THIS COLOR STORY IN PREVIOUS SEASONS.
