Military Trainers...



We all have seen the recent resurge in military styling, and this has been by no means overlooked by the shoe companies, this new colaboration between Converse and UNDFTD marks a big year for this style, here's a few of the highlights...

New Balance NB1500 'Desert Storm'



Converse x UNDFTD Poorman's Weapon




Reebok Omni Lite MA-1


Inception: The Cobol Job



For anyone who loved the sensational Inception this month, Jordan Goldberg pens a comic prequel to the film. It details the dream-invasion that leads Cobb (DiCaprio) into the mind of the business man Saitos mind. Read it now on the Inception website, I feel a sequel coming on...

Tate Britain - Fiona Banner Commission


Tate Britain offer a commission from Fiona Banner who has managed to fit 2 full size fighter jets inside the gallery. Explained as 'Bringing body and machine into close proximity she explores the tension between the intellectual perception of the fighter plane and physical experience of the object' I just cannot wait to go down and see this, learn more here...

Vans Syndicate Zero Lo


Ex Supreme designer Luke Meier has combined with Vans to bring us the Zero Lo in 3 colorways, top quality materials and simple design make these look really good. Vans are so strong right now, black and burgandy are available now via Flatspot and the tans will follow on mid August...


Topman Ltd 'Equestrian' Collection


To be honest I rarely like Topman products they are usually pretty cheaply made and don't last very long, but recently especially with capsule collections such as this one the quality and general style of the clothing is hugely improving. I saw this collection in the flesh on the weekend and it looked really good, I picked up a pair of chinos and they are awesome, available right now via Topman in selected stores and online...




Nike x Livestrong 'Tour De France' Dunk


Livestrong had a very strong 2009 shoes wise and they continue to push out some great colorways of the classic Nike shapes, these Dunks are really nice love the use of the yellow edging on the black leather...

Nike SB Stefan Janoski 'Tiffany'


Colorway taken from the 'Tiffany' Dunk from a few years back one of the rarest SB's your likely to see, this colorway looks just as good on the Janoski Model, these are great, get them now at Flatspot...

Tuch iPhone 4 Case


This is a really nice piece, no stiching, just leather plain, simple yet different from the average plastic cases that are 2 a penny these days, they also have cases for other apple products, available now via the Tuch webstore...


SpringCourt x Dover Street Market


Nice 3 designs from SpringCourt x Dover Street Market, nice to see some different materials hitting the standard canvas models these days. They are reminding me a bit of the Missoni Converse...

British Remains T-Shirts


I really like these set of t-shirts from new brand British Remains, they really do bring back memories and celebrate of what is left of British Culture, available now exclusively at The Hideout, more information on the brand now on StyleSalvage...


Nike Mayfly Bowerman Series 2010


This model is a classic, probably the one of, if not the lightest models ever made at under 6oz. It only lasts 100km hence its name taken from the insect with its short lifespan. It is also completely recyclable once its served its time. Its out now in the US hopefully won't be too long till we see a release here...

A.P.Carhartt??


A.P.C. are one of my favourite brands right now, and i'm really interested in their up coming collaboration with Carhartt. Although at first glance a somewhat unlikely pairing the brands have a similar ethic of simple clothing that is staple wear no matter what trends come and go, the t-shirts are on my hit list this year, available from A.P.C. and Carhartt stores from October 7th...

Uniqlo Winter Collection 2010


Uniqlo is a brand which is at the cheaper end of the market yet frequently serve up gems season after season, this is most likely due to their Japanese heritage which gives them a unique look at the fashion of the future which is definately evident in their 2010 winter collection which sees the introduction of the legging into the mainstream along with some other nice outfits, it definately works in the promos but time will tell whether it works in realtime...





Sperry 2 Eye Boatshoe AW10


Sperry's 2 eye boat shoes are the originals and the best, their AW10 collection is so far above the competitors its frankly ridiculous, hand-sewn and available in 9 colorways, accept no immitations...

Solebox x Sinn U2 Watch


After showing you the Burberry Military Watch earlier this week, Solebox Berlin collaborate with Sinn watches to bring a similarly styled yet more in your face designed U2 watch, I love the black on black face with the orange highlights. Every single component is of the highest quality from the German submarine steel case to the olive Zulu textile strap. The watch is limited to 10 pieces and priced at €2950...

Ellesse x Wood Wood Collection...


Wood Wood is one of my favourite brands right now, and this collection with the Ellesse brand which has fallen off the radar is spot on. With the renaissance of brands such as Reebok, Fila and Pony it seems a perfect time to bring back the brand with the input of Wood Wood who are at the forefront right now...



9 Hour Kyoto Hotel Japan...


With the lack of space in Japan new concepts in space management have produced a monopoly of pod hotels, this latest take has 125 rooms stacked in a honeycomb structure. The 9 hour concept its 1 hour to shower, 7 hours to sleep and 1 hour to prepare for the new day. I just think it looks amazing and at £37 a night is cheap as chips, see it here...
