These crazily patterned Hoya sneakers are the result of a friendly Major vs Wish competition proposed by The Hundreds clothing company.
The two streetwear labels created different designs for The Hundreds Hoya sneaker that will only have 200 pairs. Major decided to mix patterns, letting cheetah circle the exterior of the shoe while placing zebra on the rest. Mixing bold prints such as these ones is often frowned upon, but Major finds a way to make it work by using red and white accenting colors. Wish uses only one pattern and it is that of the majestic peacock. Blue and purple are the prime colors with this sneaker and mesh beautifully together.
For the Major vs Wish battle, the two labels ask that Facebook fans go onto their pages and vote for which shoes they like best.
