For Reebok’s 30th Anniversary, they teamed up with Mita to make for one of the most unique collaborations yet. The shoe features a suede toe box, chambray underlinings throughout the upper and a gum bottom. Perhaps the most unparalleled feature is the glow in the dark suns and stars on the tongue and mid lining. During the day, the suns appear purple, and at night the stars glow a mint green; an odd similarity to the stars we used to stick on our bedroom ceilings at night. The iconic Mita chain-link fence is printed on the in-sole as well. Check out an exclusive interview with the creative director of Mita sneakers below:

With the onset of this week’s depressing and drizzly weather we realized that it may have been to soon to pack up and stow away our jackets.

So if you’ve made the same mistake as us and are looking for a light-weight but protective jacket, here’s something that may lighten your weather induced, shi*** mood — A new shipment of Marshall Artist.

This UK Brand keeps hitting the fashion game hard and their Spring/Summer jacket line offers some unique designs, great functionality, and superb coverage for weather like this. Their new line features (as always) carefully selected fabrics, chambrays, and dry waxed cotton as well as some interesting plaids and leather accents. Read the rest of this entry »

Vans OTW brings an interesting new look to the short sleeve button-up game. The Portmore Shirt features an expressive design pattern with a chambray lining on the inner collar, hems, and side seams. Although some may think this shirt is a little off-track from typical Vans clothing, it does emulate some of their iconic branding details: The front of the button-up features their classic wave logo often seen on their TNT shoe. The back shoulders and sleeves are also characterized by a unique mint green and ocean blue color way which is accented by checkered patterns and shapes.

The ever popular and exclusive outdoor fashion wear brand, South 2 West 8, unleashed yet another beast from its design lab. The Sunforger La Crosse Briefcase arrives just in time for Spring, featuring a bright yellow orange canvas accented by leather buckles and olive green trim. Thick genuine leather conquers the bottom exterior and the interior features a pocket for just about anything. Business cards, note pads, pens, lap tops, and even bowling balls can have a purpose in this bag. The threads in the canvas naturally tighten when wet to keep moisture at distance. It is also treated with the best available mildew resistance technology.
