Footwear:Introducing Cipher
When I was in Hong Kong this summer, I met up with this inspiring dope guy by the name of Colin Thompson who was working on his new collection of footwear called Cipher. The collection finally dropped this month and I felt it only fitting to give you guys the goods. I think the collection is really fresh and you will find the people behind the brand equally as dope! The interview coming soon!
The SEDITIONARY pictured above
Inspired by the famous retail location founded by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm
McClaren. The Seditionary is an interpretation of the roots of Punk music, meant for
people of bold style ambitions and a sense of cultural nostalgia.
The Punk movement of the late 70’s inspires each Seditionary colourway; from Bond-
age Black to Siouxie Pink each shoe is the embodiment of the icons of the time.
High-grade perforated sustainable uppers, or crossed hand stitching characterizes
each model. Customized in a proprietary metal buckle, coated in environmentally
friendly nickel, 0.5 Gold Micron, or Palladium plating; accenting the exterior with a
clean and unique attitude.
$199
The SUBTERRANEAN pictured above
Inspired by the fluid dynamic movement of the fathers of the “Beat” generation;
The Subterranean is a manifestation of the underground intellectual movement
that stirred the American cultural awakening of the 1950’s and beyond.
The latest addition to the CIPHER family, the Subterranean is a fusion of high
fashion, functionality, and comfort. CIPHER has created a luxurious footwear
experience for people of dynamic lifestyles. Each shoe features high-grade
environmentally sustainable uppers and interiors accented and embossed foot
harnesses for security and style
