The latest hails not from the annals of fashion or apparel but from the world of toys i'm talking about LEGO, the multi-coloured building bricks that we all grew up with. While LEGO is still one of the top children's toy brands, it is spontaneously morphing into a credible street brand, adopted by Gen Y hipsters who still nurture happy memories of playing with the blocks as kids. It's part of a bigger trend, which has seen other iconic mostly 80s brands such as Reebok enjoy unexpected revivals.

I am impressed with the amount of details, materials and colors of the sneaker, but of course it is too extreme to be loved by the mass. Limited to only 24 pairs, the sneaker will unfortunately never see a general release.
