FILA worked with Lemar & Dauley on the ‘Mojito Cage’, a teal pigskin collaboration colorway of The Cage basketball sneaker. Featuring all FILA branding on the right sneaker and complete Lemar & Dauley logos and phrases on the left (like “WAVE TRIBE” on the inside of the tongue), the needle point flower pattern on the insole and inner lining is a good touch.
Lemar & Dauley is a brand that along with apparel have made a name for themselves of collaborating on special edition sneakers having already worked with adidas and DC Shoes.
Ontop The Collective building with drinks provided by Hennessy, FILA celebrated the release of the ‘Mojito Cage’ colorway of The Cage in style with a packed-house party overlooking the New York City. Very cool.
The FILA Cage is one of my favorite basketball sneakers of all time. Older hoopers and informed FILA loyalists will note that this sneaker isn’t an exact Retro of The Cage but despite the height reduction, this is more of an upgraded version with memory foam replacing the plastic ankle wrap and the original outsole being swapped for the bottom of the FILA M-Squad. Makes for better sneaker than the original in my opinion.
No good party is complete without a visit from the police and fire department. Not that there was trouble made at Mojito Cage release event; the elevators jammed and
On Friday, June 6th (TODAY) the ‘Mojito Cage’ colorway of the FILA The Cage releases on both the FILA webstore as well as the Lemar & Dauley webstore at 12 PM EST.
