CONTROL :: OFFICIAL

CONTROL...what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone....

FAC51-Y3: The Hacienda

FAC51-Y3: The Hacienda: "Behold the latest shoe from one of my favorite brands Y-3 in collaboration with Legendary Manchester UK nightclub, The Hacienda. The shoe%u2019s awesome (read: dead sexy) design was a collaboration between Peter Saville (original Factory Records designer), Ben Kelly (architect who did The Hacienda%u2019s interior) and Joy Division/New Order Bass player, Peter Cook (not sure why he had this honor). Regardless, never before have I seen so many cooks in the kitchen deliver such a fantastic sneaker-specimen. The sneakers come in a custom six-sided, maple-bottomed box (naturally it%u2019s the same shape as the dance-floor as at The Hacienda). Then, the shoes inside are wrapped in four sheets of tissue paper, two feature Kevin Cummin%u2019s photography in the 80%u2019s, one will show designer Ben Kelly%u2019s original sketches for the clubs interior, and the final will show the current state of the club space. I kid you not%u2013 this is packaging detail at its best, absolutely gorgeous! Along with the incredible package and shoes, lucky buyers will also get a DVD documenting the whole club history and experience. The shoe is a short run at 250 pairs and will sell exclusively in the Y-3 Manchester store for two weeks before it goes into Selfridges in London and Y-3%u2019s flagship in Tokyo. The FAC51-Y3 will be 345 GBP, or just under $700 US."
