Years in development, Hummel Footwear recently received their new limited edition (2000 worldwide) 8.4 PIO FGX from the production warehouses. Creativity and technology infuses the new product, a culmination of the Danish athletic wear maker's recent re-branding efforts. Packaging design, sockliner technology (using heat to mold to feet), laser-etched goat skin uppers and an outsole designed with a combination of stud shapes—suitable for any pitch and also limiting injuries—makes the shoe a good choice for fashionable athletes looking for an alternative to more staid brands.
Footwear Department Manger Richard Kuchinsky, also of First Pullover, oversaw the development of this new boot and his upcoming new Directive Collective, a footwear and brand design consultancy group, is one to watch.

Newton's sneakers are as close to running barefoot as a person can get. Much has been made recently of returning to the elemental movement of walking or running. The logic suggests that our bodily structure is best served when motion is as close as possible to its primal state (i.e. running while barefoot). Newton attempts to fulfill this role for casual and professional runners,...
