I was telling my friend the other day that Nike SB has been recycling popular colorways and materials from one Dunk to another. In this case, its the “Tokyo” Nike Dunk SB Low made into this Dunk SB Mid. Featuring the same off white canvas, this mid is coupled with black accents. Look for these to drop on August 11th at Nike SB retailers or pre-order at now at LTD Online. via SneakerFiles
Who needs those traditional lookbooks when you have the time and money to do a short video instead. Rocksmith posted a short video on YouTube detailing their 2008 Fall collection called “Keep Up”.

On Saturday, July 5th Stussy Direct will be releasing the limited edition UNDFTD collaboration Grand Slam Tee. This summertime tee was created for the 1st anniversary of Undefeated Tokyo and is a Stussy x Undefeated exclusive! It comes in 4 colors to choose from - white, red, black, and blue.
Last year, Benny Gold traveled to Japan with Mash to premier the video, during that time he met with Alive Watches to discuss a watch series based on cycling. The concept behind the collaboration is to pay homage to San Rensho (which translates to 3 time champion) and the 3 cities that they are from (San Francisco, Seattle and Tokyo). This is the preview of his design with more pics to come.
Louis Vuitton, the premier French luxury brand and Comme des Garçons will open a joint Tokyo store in September where for three months, this space is where shoppers can order six special bags, designed by Rei Kawakubo (Comme des Garçons) in LV monogram pattern. Marc Jacobs, artistic director of Louis Vuitton, admires Comme des Garçons and was an enthusiastic supporter of the idea of this joint venture.
“It is impossible to overstate Rei Kawakubo’s influence on modern fashion,” Jacobs said in a prepared statement, ‘I find it wonderful to think that 30 years ago, this immense talent, someone who has inspired so many others, was inspired by Louis Vuitton.”
