Rainbow-Splattered Kicks

The N-HOOLYWOOD x Generic Surplus SS 2012 Collection is Stylishly Messy

— January 31, 2012 — Fashion
Paint-splattered designs are either a hit or a miss, but in the case of the N-HOOLYWOOD x Generic Surplus SS 2012 Collection, it's definitely a hit.

The N-HOOLYWOOD x Generic Surplus SS 2012 Collection utilizes the latter's Westside sneakers and gives it a messy, but stylish makeover. The rainbow-splattered look on the upper works well and it even has a bit of an artsy aesthetic when you look at it. The shoe is handmade in Japan and is constructed from suede/canvas, as well as a cushioned insole for support. For those who want something much more low-key, the collection does have a plain white model as well.

The N-HOOLYWOOD x Generic Surplus SS 2012 Collection will be available in three colorways.
