As we continue on our creative journey of self-discovery with the twins, Dee and Ricky, we are proud to present our next collaborative offering, a rather special, very limited M100.

Outlandish and colourful, Dee & Ricky’s designs are a result of a melting pot much like the city they’re from. Their M100 is the amalgamation of all the elements we love about the twins creatively in one of our most iconic pieces of footwear.

Appropriating the classic M100 bringing it to life in a new context – the very essence of Dee & Ricky. Whether taking stylistic keynotes from yesteryear and working on something entirely new or ripping up the rulebook and transforming a classic, Dee & Ricky execute ideas that are not only original but also serve as inspiration for those looking to lean left.

These New Yorkers enthrall us, an infectious energy surrounds the duo, to be in their vicinity excites, bewilders and transforms all around them. It’s this charisma and energy that shines throughout their designs. Not for the faint hearted and we love that. Forthright and at times controversial but at the heart of their design work is an honesty and originality unrivalled by their peers.

Bright and colourful throughout, the M100 is taken from its relatively humble beginnings as a Basketball stalwart of the 1980s and injected with Dee & Ricky’s iconic balance of bright colours and textured materials. Rapidly becoming a signature of the two and in many cases preceding their reputation as enigmatic creative hustlers.

With marbleised soles, block colouring, suede and felts alongside meshed technical fabrics, the Dee & Ricky M100 is undeniably as unique as it gets in footwear terms. The block colours, luxurious caramel leather, the white felt accents and the turquoise toe piece demands attention. The inquisitive passer by will stop and stare, the shoe lives life to the full, taking nothing for granted and grabbing everything around it Much like the Basketball M100, Dee & Ricky’s design is not to be trifled with; it’s tough and pays homage to the street ballers who wore the original M100 on the court.
