      The deets:

      After a recent collab on classic Stan Smiths, Human Made is back this spring with the retro-'80s leather "shelltoe", complete with the label's heart logo, which appears on the red heel motif and on the  side punctures. Human Made's motto "Gears For Futuristic Teenagers” emblazons the stripes ($180).

      Randomness:

      Human Made is the latest project by Japanese fashion designer, Teriyaki Boyz DJ, and record producer Nigo, better known for the urban clothing line A Bathing Ape. The Superstar was launched originally in 1970 as a basketball shoe worn by legends like Kareem Abdul Jabbar; it went on to be just as iconic in the '80s, as the footwear of choice for Run DMC. The style is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
