Omar Salazar’s signature skate kicks are back in a pair of classy new colourways. In grape with a black collar or baby blue with a clean white Swoosh, the sleek profile will appeal to anyone searching for something with a pinch more flavour than your standard black vulcs. The Flywire upper may have been given the flick, but there’s still a performance booster in the form of a spongy Lunarlon insole. Available now at Sneakersnstuff.
Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook have quickly become the go-to space for previewing new releases, and Omar Salazar took to one of them recently to reveal his new collaboration with Levis and Nike SB. The image reveal a quarter top Nike SB in black suede with the Levi’s logo in red on the heel. Info is slim on the details of the collaboration, but according to Omar, tomorrow should reveal a lot more.
Coming next month from Nike SB is the latest colorway of the Nike SB Omar Salazar LR.
Decked out in blue with a suede and canvas upper, the kicks come lined in black with black top eyelets and contrasting white accents on the leather Swoosh, tongue branding and rubber sole.
Cushioned with a drop-in Lunarlon midsole, look for this Drenched Blue/White-Black colorway of the Omar Salazar signature to hit retailers in July.
Selectism and photographer Ross Trevail visited London based designer Omar Kashoura to capture his workspace. I’m always a fan of studio visits – seeing where and how people work can tell alot about a person. Omar is set for big things, a graduate of the famous Central Saint Martins MA program, and having spent time at Unconditional and Preen.
London Designer Omar Kashoura has been on our radar for a while. Following on from a superb Autumn/Winter 2012 collection we headed over to his studio in East London for a nosey around. Originally from Leeds, Omar studied at the London College of Fashion. Following up with an MA at Central Saint Martins and stints at Unconditional and Preen, his own label is a mix of classic masculine dress and an elegant take on youth.

Omar Kashoura went off schedule for Autumn/Winter 2012. Taking his collection to Kettners in Soho, he presented his Beat Generation inspired menswear with Allen Ginsberg’s ‘Howl’ in mind. Relaxed fit trousers, deconstructed knits, moleskin cottons and subtle prints came together in a laidback line-up.
“The Beat era helped develop the designer’s ideas into a simple, pure and understated look that reflects glimpses of the wearers mind, expressing their thoughts in a non-sensical way. Materials are soft, draped, and elegant and reflect a downtrodden natural worn look and given a subtle edge with graphic patterns”
