This year, END. Clothing is celebrating its 20th year as one of Britain’s greatest sneaker and streetwear retailers. And to mark this momentous occasion, they’ve reunited with adidas for the upcoming END. Clothing x adidas BW Army “Chip Shop.” Inspired by one of the UK’s most iconic dishes, this collaboration is as playful as it is wearable.
At first glance, it’s the textures that steal the spotlight. Across the sidewalls, you’ll find a scaly white leather that’s a clear nod to battered fish. The fuzzy laces are influenced by fishing nets, and the tongue takes a detour from the usual leather, opting for a cosy terry cloth finish instead. You’ll also find co-branding stitched here too, just so you know that this isn’t any old BW Army.
Inside, the insoles keep the theme alive. Think ketchup packet-style graphics layered over clippings from past END. Clothing x adidas projects. The sneaker then rests on top of a french fry-like gum sole, and all of this comes packed in a special edition shoebox that’s designed to look like something you’d get in your local chippie.
The END. Clothing x adidas BW Army “Chip Shop” drops on April 18th. Whether you’re a collector, a fan of the archival silhouette, or you just love a crisp one with salt and vinegar, this pair is worth a look. Let us know if you’ll be going for these, and be sure to keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to secure your size!
