#, #

The Hundreds is pleased to announce the release of a limited edition Valenzuela Low shoe in collaboration with FreshCotton, celebrating their 10thanniversary.  Only 150 pairs made, the shoes are set to release through the FreshCotton online store, as well as The Hundreds online and flagship locations on Monday, January 30, 2012.

Hailing from Amsterdam, FreshCotton has been the front-runner in supplying Europe with the newest and most rare streetwear fashions since the birth of the company in 2001.  With an enormous online presence, FreshCotton leads in trend watching and originality, spotlighting upcoming and well-established brands that span the globe.

The Hundreds x FreshCotton Valenzuela shoe is the perfect melding of the two companies’ hometowns, featuring traditional Dutch influences and a sleek Los Angeles look.  It is made of premium waxed navy canvas to protect against the harsh weather of The Netherlands, and a nod to the traditional uniform of the Dutch farmer.

The shoe also features Cognac color Nubuck leather, with refined leather lining and lace details referencing modern day Amsterdam.

Every pair is complete with a bandana with The Hundreds Adam Bomb and Amsterdam’s triple X symbol.

The Hundreds is proud to introduce our newest footwear model, entitled the “Hoya.”

We’ve been working on this shoe for close to 2 years now, so to inaugurate its release, we are gonna do something special.  Ben and I have each designed our own Hoya, but we’re not gonna tell you whose is whose.  First, you have to vote on which one you like best over on our Facebook page.  Here’s the fun part.  On Tuesday at noon PST the voting ends and we will announce whose shoe is whose Tuesday right here on the blog and Facebook page.  The person’s shoe with the LEAST amount of votes has to wear the other’s face on a t-shirt for an entire week*!!!

The Ben vs. Bobby HOYAS will release this Friday exclusively at The Hundreds Los Angeles, The Hundreds San Francisco, The Hundreds New York, and The Hundreds Santa Monica, and Monday in our Online Shop.

The second Hoya has a safari-print pattern on premium leather overlay pieces, with a silk suede and high-quality canvas upper.  Premium die-cut leather cage for extra support, neoprene air-mesh bootie for better fit and breathability.  There’s a rolled-edge executed on the safari-print toe and heel overlay, with premium pigskin leather sockliner.  Lastly, there are cork speckles on the rubber outsole.

There are only 100 of each Hoya produced, emphasized by the laser-etched individualized numbers on the leather hang tag and accompanying rear heel loop.  The Hoyas are the first of our “Red Box” shoes, our most limited footwear releases,  lined with a red insole and packaged in a red The Hundreds JAGS™ shoebox. They also come with a parallel shoe bag and graphic t-shirt.

*And here’s the t-shirt. If I win, Ben’s gotta wear my fat face.  If Ben wins, I have to wear his Chewbacca mug. (I kinda hope I lose)
