SWAG.

SWAG. Stuff We All Get.

Well, not all of us. Some of us. Or maybe even one of us.

Jason Markk still has the best sneaker cleaner on the market.  Support a young independent doing his thing:

Bobby and the Tribal crew sent up a buncha stuff, buried deep inside were a few prints from Tribal’s artist collaborations over the years, possibly the most thorough and comprehensive street art collabs of any brand.  Usugrow, OG Abel, and that Shepard Fairey is from 1998.

13th Witness has his own hardcover book out of select Instagram images.  Great idea.  Follow him on Instagram under 13thWitness

And what’s this?  From our Australian friends… I wonder what’s inside….

THE HUNDREDS X FRESHCOTTON 10TH ANNIVERSARY :: VALENZUELA LOW

The Hundreds is pleased to announce the release of a limited edition Valenzuela Low shoe in collaboration with FreshCotton, celebrating their 10thanniversary.  Only 150 pairs made, the shoes are set to release through the FreshCotton online store, as well as The Hundreds online and flagship locations on Monday, January 30, 2012.

Hailing from Amsterdam, FreshCotton has been the front-runner in supplying Europe with the newest and most rare streetwear fashions since the birth of the company in 2001.  With an enormous online presence, FreshCotton leads in trend watching and originality, spotlighting upcoming and well-established brands that span the globe.

The Hundreds x FreshCotton Valenzuela shoe is the perfect melding of the two companies’ hometowns, featuring traditional Dutch influences and a sleek Los Angeles look.  It is made of premium waxed navy canvas to protect against the harsh weather of The Netherlands, and a nod to the traditional uniform of the Dutch farmer.

The shoe also features Cognac color Nubuck leather, with refined leather lining and lace details referencing modern day Amsterdam.

Every pair is complete with a bandana with The Hundreds Adam Bomb and Amsterdam’s triple X symbol.

PRINTED MATTERS.

As we enter The Hundreds Spring 2012, I’d like to emphasize that our brand lives beyond the soft-goods and online matter.  My background, before apparel, was print and that continues to be an important facet to The Hundreds’ brand experience.

Hassan, here, helped us out in designing and laying out our new Spring and Summer 2012 catalog, which you’ll soon find at all authorized The Hundreds retailers worldwide.  The booklet is a summary of all the core in-line product we’ll be introducing in the first half of this year.  It’s the full album, the entire story:

On February 2nd, The Hundreds Magazine‘s latest issue also hits retailers, as well as our own shops.  This time around, it’s Azealia Banks on the cover of our Music Issue, with further features on collaborators and artists we’re working with in the next year like The Seventh Letter and Don Pendleton.  It’s our fattest and finest issue to date – The Hundreds Magazine is finally coming into its own with this one, much thanks to our Managing Editor, Chelsea:
