Lodger Footwear is going out on a limb and calling this Chukka a Desert boot even though Clarks officially claimed rightful ownership of the title – after all they have been making the Desert boot for just over 60 years now. From a similar pedigree to that of Clarks from the UK, the process of [...]
Many people to this day are doing themselves a huge disservice by still looking at the original Red Tab label within the confines of the 5-hundred series jeans. If last years collaboration with Robert Geller yielded no change in opinion on your end, a quick browsing of Levi’s Japan’s site should shake up perspectives for [...]
Surprisingly, despite last seasons affinity for the entire adidas Originals by Originals line up from Kazuki, not one of us ended up buying any piece in the end. Now back for their 3rd season, Japanese designer Kazuki is back again with strong streetwear pieces that are both highly detailed and highly technical. Our favorite from [...]
Relative new comer in the game, Volta Footwear has been taking the dressier elements of your typical Italian-designed shoe and fusing them with a casual sneaker spirit, all in a unique Chukka-esque silhouette. While it’s rare that new comers specialize in only one model, in only their second year, Volta balances their mono-product approach [...]
Masaaki Honma is at it again, staying true to his punk-inspired designs and raw materials with this pea coat from Mastermind Japan. Admittedly there has been an influx of streetwear labels doing their own version of the pea coat this season, but the distressed bands with white and gold printing on the upper left sleeve [...]
Chances are you feel the same way about leopard print as we do. The only problem is, when you’re killing it on every single piece in the outdoor clothing game this season like Kazuki Kuraishi for Adidas Originals by Originals and Neighborhood, you have to keep your preconceived notions on the back burner. Much like [...]
We’ve really been blown away by the offerings from Adidas Originals by Originals for the Fall and Winter. Kazuki Kuraishi’s pieces for O by O are understated and still manage to combine superior functionality in regards to waterproof materials and seam sealing while not looking the part. All this combined with Japanese brand Neighborhood’s [...]
If it weren’t for the title, we wouldn’t have known this was an adidas Originals by Originals, which is one of the reasons why we love it. The second being, it’s from Kazuki Kuraishi’s collection for O by O. The third being, it’s based off one of our favorite military-inspired jackets, the M-51 fishtail parka. [...]
Adidas Original by Originals hosted a launch party the other evening for the David Beckham line designed by James Bond. The event was held at the Adidas space on Melrose in Los Angeles. DJ Muggs of the Soul Assassins provided the sounds while David Beckham and James Bond paraded the crowd to talk about the [...]
The Tanker lineup has been Head Porter’s staple series since the 80’s and to this day shows no signs of letting up. Not only is the design timeless (as shown with their recent collaboration on the Adidas Originals Five-Two 3 Brand pack), but they’re continuously innovating their products to include models that meet the modern [...]
We must admit we weren’t sure how to feel when UNDFTD’s James Bond was tapped by adidas Originals by Originals to do a capsule collection for David Beckham. On one hand, UNDFTD has always put together solid collaborations. On the other, the pieces would have to live up to the hype of being associated to [...]
