From the Creative Review blog
"Behold, the FAC51-Y3. No, it's not a late addition to the musical catalogue of Mancunian record label Factory Records, clearly, but a highly limited trainer from Y-3 (the brand created by adidas and Yohji Yamamoto), devised especially to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of legendary Manchester nightclub The Hacienda. The shoe's design is a collaboration between Peter Saville (the original Factory Records graphic designer), Ben Kelly (the architect who designed the original Hacienda interiors) and Joy Division/New Order bass player, Peter Hook."
