Making a return for SS16, the Nike Mayfly Woven is a premium twist on an original Nike silhouette. A trainer fit for this season complimenting your traditional summer wear. Sharing it's name with the mayfly insect, as well as the idea that the lifespan of both are akin, the first Nike Mayfly design was released in 2003 and was an affordable shoe designed for runners needs. Made to last for a short time hence the original price point.
10 years later revamped with suede woven uppers, a material that has grown interest over the past few years. The most celebrated rendition of the Mayfly because of its simplicity, updated materials and expanded lifespan.
Now is back again in a variety of colour ways to tackle the ever growing sneaker market. The upper has been completely re vamped. Scratching out any possible branding on the upper and replacing the parachute like material with the suede woven fabric. However not all materials have been lost with the remastered version. The synthetic soles, as well as the original silhouette, have stayed true to their roots. The soles are super light weight and the silhouette hasn't changes much.

Following our recent competition with Edwin we caught up with Ally McAnally who has been the brands UK Wholesale agent for over a year and a half. Ally took some time out of his busy schedule to share a few words for us.
CS: What does an average day consist of for you
AM: I get into the office and let the emails roll in whilst I have a nice strong coffee. Then it’s either an appointment with a customer or taking care of orders and general enquiries from our stockists. If we have time we grab a pint in the Exmouth Arms, but this is very rarely. We call this team building.
CS: What are you wearing today
AM: Today I've got on a white Edwin oxford shirt under my sweatshirt and wearing an Edwin baller bomber.
CS: What labels and styles have influenced you over the years
AM: J Linderberg and Raf Simons I’ve always found influential. When I joined Edwin and learnt about our extensive history, I found that really inspiring as well.
Style wise, I like the Scandinavian clean and minimal look. I really appreciate Our Legacy and Norse Projects who are two of my favourite brands currently.
CS: What plans do you have on the horizon
AM: We have the biggest change in my time with Edwin coming up in July. We are updating our logo on the back pockets and it looks great! I reckon the customers are going to love it. Everything else is top secret I’m afraid.
CS: Whats your favourite City you've visited and why
AM: Berlin – Mainly for the music and clubs. Apart from the music though, there’s something strangely inspiring about the people, the culture, the macabre history and architecture and the general atmosphere.
CS: Tell us something about yourself no one in menswear knows
AM: I have an unusual phobia of baked beans!
