Bricks & Wood x K-Swiss Collab Pays Homage to the West Coast

Bricks & Wood has more on the way this year. Following last summer’s release with New Balance and its 57/40, the South Central Los Angeles-based company is teaming up with K-Swiss.

The Bricks & Wood x K-Swiss collab is not only paying homage to the culture and the trailblazers of yesterday but will highlight the Black and Brown designers of the future. “This collaboration with K-Swiss highlights the future of Black & Brown designers while simultaneously paying homage to the road paved before us. Regardless if we got the recognition deserved or not, we have always been here,” the brand stated in its announcement.

The collab ties back to The Golden State as K-Swiss was founded in California in 1966 and is revered as one of the staple tennis footwear brands. Tying back to B&W’s roots, the Bricks & Wood x K-Swiss Classic VN is a modern reinterpretation of California’s version of the AF1.

“The role of K-Swiss plays on our heritage within California/West Coast culture is undeniable, so being able to bring this to fruition while paying it forward to the past, present, & future generations to come is something we are surely proud of,” Bricks & Wood added in its post.

The Bricks & Wood x K-Swiss Classic VN releases on May 20 at Bricks & Wood and online on May 23 on BricksandWood.us, and potentially on KSwiss.com. As always, our sneaker monitors and release day strategy will have members ready for drop day.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
