Thelma Aoyama x Underground

Singer Thelma Aoyama this week visited the Underground x Candy Pop Up shop in La Floret. Thelma picked up a pair of Underground x Ashish Creepers, which come with a pen so that you can customise your own shoe. Here are her efforts, which she posted on her own blog. Thelma we salute your creativity!

OLEK AT TONY’S GALLERY

Around the corner from Underground offices, at Tony’s Gallery, we spotted this vibrant exhibition by Polish born New York based artist Olek, entitled “I Do Not Expect to be a Mother but I Do Expect to Die Alone”. For her first UK solo show, Olek has tranformed a bedroom style setting by crocheting everything in sight – from the bed to domestic items such as an ironing board and shoping trolley. The exhibition finale this weekend sees the work bathed in black light for it’s closing party.

UNDERGROUND INSTAGRAM

Underground have now joined Instagram, so you can get behind the scenes at the Underground HQ. We’ll be posting exclusive photos of new shapes, collaborations and designs – as well as the day to day fun which happens in the office and on our travels. Follow us under the name ‘UNDERGROUNDSHOE’ and make sure you tag us in your Creeper Instagrams @UNDERGROUNDSHOE and #UNDERGROUNDCREEPERS. We’ll be watching out for the best photos of Underground Creepers on Instagram.

ALIS PELLESCHI FOR VICE STYLE

We had to blog this shoot from photographer and stylist Alis Pelleschi on Vice Style. ‘The New Parliament’ imagines some of our favourite musicians, including Sun Ra, MF Doom, George Clinton and Lee Scratch Perry in a kaleidoscopic, futuristic photo shoot. See the full feature on Vice Style and more of Alis’ work on her website.

THE NEW UNDERGROUND CREEPER WEDGE

This is an exclusive look at a completely new shape for Underground – the Underground Creeper Wedge. The shoe will be released in two initial colourways – fuscia/leopard and black/ leopard,  as seen below. We sent one of the first pairs to Michelle from Kingdom of Style. Her verdict? ‘Shoe perfection’.

These shoes will be released exclusively on the Underground web store very soon. The release will be announced on our Facebook page first – like our page so you can be one of the first to buy the new Underground Creeper Wedge.
