Pharrell has just released this picture on the BBC blog of his (what we assume to be custom) CROC LEATHER x SPONGEBOB x BAPE sneakers. We’re not sure what’s more impressive. Custom made BAPE’s or the fact Pharrell is putting his feet up on his custom $80K Hermes purple Birkin bag.

We spotted the regular versions of theses shoes at Flight Club LA a few months ago, available here if you’re into them.

Chronicles of never is not a fantasy novel you’ve never heard about, they’re one of the best, fairly new emerging brands you’ve never heard about. You may be familiar with their jewelry line, but peep this four eyes tee! It’s a smokey grey cotton jersey crew neck tee, “inspired by mathematics and geometry”. And you thought you’d never ‘use’ math. Available here.

As we get a little bit older, we might need to start giving more love to dress shoes! These two toned beauties are from Jil Sander and feature a navy blue one-piece toe and light grey one-piece heel and placket with matching waxed laces. The black sole is slightly wedged in shape with a rubber base. Raf Simons at the helm for Jil Sander can do no wrong! Available here.

Looking pretty good if I do say so myself, be sure to check out the 60 year timeline and some of the video content with all the same people (and more) from the house party commercial.

Looking like the most basic of BMX’s, the Cannondale Hooligan 1 is the perfect bike for inner city riding because of its solid and simple design. It can handle stairs, dirt, concrete and is small enough not to be too cumbersome when riding the train. Officially, not nearly as nerdy or as likely to repel the women as the fold up bike, but you still might look like the douche of a grown man who stole a child’s mountain bike.

From our travels from all over, we noticed that the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ poster is a staple in every single designer/graphic artist/artist’s studio/office/home. Is it the art direction? Is it the slogan? If you know let us know. In these times of economic hardship, we much prefer the – ‘Panic Now and Freak Out‘ message. Look for the bag at a designated lunch area in creative workspaces near you. If you wish to fit in and talk about the pros and cons of Sans Serif, DPI and Final Cut Pro, get yours  here.
