While you might consider Justin Bieber, Travis Scott and Jaden Smith some of the more obvious sneaker fans on the planet, Orlando Bloom has been quietly building a stellar trainer collection of his own.
The Lord Of The Rings star boasts a range of Air Jordans that rivals that of the man who lent his name to the brand and has more than one delicious pair of Nike Air Force 1s in his rotation. In addition, he made us weep with envy when he stepped out in a pair of Maison Margiela s Velcro high-top kicks a few years back.

After rumors of a collaboration between sacai founder Chitose Abe and ACRONYM‘s Errolson Hugh first surfaced last week, Hugh confirmed the collection in a set of Instagram posts on Monday.
“sacai ACRONYM collection launching January 2022,” Hugh wrote alongside images of the forthcoming collection and more details about the men’s and women’s offerings.
“Riffing on a theme of bonding, both as a metaphor for unity and as a technique for joining together two materials two ideas that have been at the heart of sacai since the beginning,” the Munich-based designer wrote. “The collection by founder and designer, Chitose Abe, is a study on sealing together two apparently disparate notions to make a new form, bringing together characteristics born of different, sometimes opposing, origins.”
Chitose Abe is back home in Tokyo after her Paris haute couture debut. The prolific designer presented a one-off Jean Paul Gaultier collection, the first of that brand’s new partnership projects. She called it an “intimate, more friendly proposal” than the long-running collaboration she has with Nike or her recently announced hookup with Dior Men’s Kim Jones.
Her latest Sacai collections for men and women feature yet another collab, this one with the cult German streetwear label ACRONYM, whose designer Errolson Hugh has been likened by my colleagues at GQ to “some sort of ninja-god-slash astronaut.” ACRONYM specializes in technical outerwear, often in monochrome. Errolson brought the waterproof nylon, Abe brought the bandana prints, buffalo plaids, and rug jacquards.
