Stepping into the sneaker world, it's hard not to notice the mark left by Japanese streetwear heavyweight Neighborhood. The brand's ethos has always been deeply rooted in subcultures, blending moto, military, and vintage inspirations. Meanwhile, Compass, known for its stylish yet functional footwear, has continued to earn admiration from enthusiasts globally. As we near the end of 2023, the streets are buzzing with anticipation for the next Neighborhood collaboration. This time, it's with Compass, and it revolves around the cherished Velocity silhouette.
The Velocity silhouette takes on a fresh, sophisticated appeal in this upcoming collab. The shoes are offered in two tasteful neutral colorways—Black and Grey, which epitomize elegance and craftsmanship. Every pair boasts a harmonious blend of premium suede and a canvas base layer. These materials beautifully adopt the color theme of each respective pair. The toebox highlights the unmistakable "NBHD" logo, indicating Neighborhood's touch.
Further emphasizing the collaboration, a tag bearing both Compass and Neighborhood branding graces the midfoot, and the Japanese label is found atop the tongue. The shoe's interior exudes luxury with its premium leather sockliner, while an ultra-hairy suede on the heel introduces a tactile texture. The heel tab showcases the evocative phrase "The Filth The Fury," split between each pair, set atop the comfortable ImpactFuel cushioned midsole and tonal outsole.
The Neighborhood x Compass Velocity Pack will release September 30, 2023, through Neighborhood and Compass online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $336.
