I've seen it said that the Nike 'Hume Turf' QS Pack's 'Paris' Air Max 1 was one of the hottest drops of 2013...and I would have to agree. The pack saw the release of shoes celebrating key European cities (London, Milan and Paris), and the Hyperfuse'd take on chic Parisian style showcases a slick grey and yellow colourway that is simple but hugely effective.
The first thing that attracted Graz to them was their colourway as he loves the colour grey (hence the outfit, accentuated by the backdrop I chose), but they also represent a lot more than that about their wearer.
Graz is the founder of the slick sunglasses label Graz Studio, a brand that creates some amazing product all celebratiing Old World Craftmanshop mixed with present day twists.
Perhaps unsurprisingly his tastes in sneakers follow a similar trend as he's more interested in picking shoes on the basis of great design rather than what brand they are and he couldn't resist the (Hyper)fusion of simplicity and design in this specific shoe.
Now based in Hong Kong he Graz feels like he's in the World Capital of kicks, which has seemingly influenced his tastes as he most commonly wears select Premium brands such as Lanvin and Common Projects, but he picked up these Nike's in Brisbane on a return to Australia, so these really are a nod to being on Home Turf in every possible way.
