This is pretty fresh, even though it looks like a grocery bag. In fact, it’s the large fabric bag from Kriss Van Assche with perforated fabric to create a polka dot patten, complete with embossed letter detailing around the handle. Available here.
Maison Martin Margiela has a few new wallets out to keep your coupons. We’re showing you the leather and velvet horizontal snapped wallet above because it’s our favorite, and also because it looks like it would be Darth Vader’s wallet. Imagine if Darth Vader did carry a wallet, that would be weird, think he’d carry 5 year old space age condoms in there too? Moving right along, there are two other wallets, a white distressed wallet and a zippy wallet, also in leather, made in Italy. See them after the jump.

Contrary to premature information dissemination, there is only ONE bag in the Shadow collection. But it is a shape shifter: transform it from messenger bag to briefcase to backpack… With the lid zipped and the straps across your chest you get a full capacity backpack, with the lid zipped open and buttoned to the inside you have a messenger bag, with the lid flipped towards the back (covering the strap system) – you get your briefcase… with a little practice you will become a true master of this bag.

While we wait for our custom LH fixie bikes, here’s a neat concept dubbed Contrail by Studio Gelardi. Essentially, it’s a small attachment that applies a thin layer of colored chalk to a bike’s tire so when you ride, you leave a colored trail behind you. Sort of what I would expect Rainbow Bright to do after eating chilli. The more and more users, the more the trails become more visible, encouraging riders to follow the same path while letting delivery people, grandmothers, taxi’s and other bad drivers that the road is frequented by bike traffic.

There’s a good reason why this GT-J4L 3L Gore-Tex Proshell Interops from Acronym sounds like the name of a fighter jet. Actually I don’t know if it’s a good reason, it’s my reason - it’s got a lot of technology packed into it. Back again this Summer, the GT-J4L possesses all the Acronym features that could be squeezed into/onto the Gore-Tex shell: dual Gravity Pockets, Jacketsling, Forcelock and the astonishing Escape (aka Clark Kent) zip. The GT-J4L is fully compatible with ACR 3rd Arm bags (Interops).

What would happen if a gamer and sneakerhead got down? This is something I think about often when I brush my teeth in the morning. Alas, I have the answer. The AF-II Premium with clear side panels, matrix-circuitry graphic detail, and the Wii On/Off button Nike label on the tongue. A nice follow up to the Blazer Premium from the “Wii Pack”.
