Shot and created on location in the heart of, and on the streets of the Filipino mega-city, Manila. This project, Manila Muscle, combines the gritty pulse of the racing urban sprawl, with over-the-top modern styling. Creators Paul Jatayna (os-accessories.com) and Karl Leuterio (Inkarlcerating.com) lead you on a very visual tour of their home city for this collaborative editorial for the SOLESTRUCK Men’s Department. Combining their keen eye for street style, and their connections with top local designers and talent, we paired each look with our favorite men’s picks for summer to bring you Manila Muscle. All shoes are available on SOLESTRUCK.COM. We would also like to use this look book to welcome new Filipino men’s shoe sensation to the site: MONSTER by Ron Ramiro. Team Solestruck would like to send a giant thank you to our entire Manila based crew who hosted and helped make this project possible. Enjoy. Ty McBride Solestruck Creative/Brand Director LOOKBOOK
