size? collections – Jack Stanley – Editor at Hypebeast
An Editor at Hypebeast, it’s nailed on that Jack Stanley is clued up on his streetwear, and we’ve been lucky enough to have him share his footwear rotation with us.
Take a look below; you won’t be disappointed.
“I’ve always been reticent to talk about my footwear as a collection. To me, that brings to mind the idea of keeping them all boxed away in pristine condition, but I’ve always worn as many pairs as I can.
“My recent lockdown rotation has been pretty New Balance-heavy – grey 990 v5s are my go-to – but I’ve also been wearing the brand’s recent collabs with Aimé Leon Dore and Casablanca to add a bit of colour.
“Other than that, I’ve got a pair of Salomon S/Lab XT-6 that I wear for my government-mandated exercise and some cosy Birkenstock Bostons for my around-the-house wear.”
Paria Farzaneh x Converse F&F One Star
“Paria is one of the best-emerging designers in the world right now, and these custom Converse One Stars are easily one of my favourite pairs.”
Aime Leon Dore x New Balance 990v5
“I got these last year and I’ve worn them pretty much constantly ever since. I’m a big fan of the muted colourway and any New Balance 990 is pretty much perfect to me.”
Slam Jam x Nike Blazer “Class of 1977″
“I’m a big fan of the upside-down Swoosh, it’s a really simple touch, but I love it. I’ve absolutely worn these Slam Jam x Nike Blazerto death, but they’re a trusty go-to whenever I’m not sure what to wear.”
Birkenstock Boston
“It’s my favourite ever shoe. Not really much more to say.”
Magazines
“I’ve always been a big magazine fan and I wouldn’t be doing the job I’m doing now if it wasn’t for the magazines I bought when I was a kid [starting with the official Liverpool supporters one].
“I think its really important for any writer to read as much as possible, and my magazine collection has been a constant source of inspiration for me when I’ve been thinking about what I want to write and produce.”
Frank Ocean ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ zine
“Easily my favourite magazine that I own is Frank Ocean’s ‘Boys Don’t Cry’. I remember queuing up outside Charlotte Street News at midnight on the night that Blonde released to get my copy, complete with its slightly different version of the album.”
