London-based footwear brand GOOD NEWS prepares for the Spring/Summer 2021 season ahead with new pieces. The brand turns its attention to the past as inspiration, specifically nodding to the 70s era in Los Angeles. During that sunny time, there was a lot of communal spirit, rebellion, and expression.
These are translated through visuals such as vintage Moroccan Raffias, ombre palettes, and frayed edges. Some of the standout silhouettes in the capsule include the low-top Opal and the high-top Palm sneakers. Both of these sit on top of an oversized rubber outsole foundation that is complete with branding at the heel. These are also detailed with bold hues including tie-dye finishing and patchwork designs to add some dimension to the sneaker.
