Foreign Family July release

Foreign Family has been a long time supporter of hand graphics as opposed to computer generated designs.  Preferring the use of a pen over a mouse, the team carefully drafts most, if not all, of their work which sets them apart in the industry.  This July they feature their latest piece, the Academy tee, so expect a number of different colors and stay connected to your local retailer before it sells out.

Diamond Supply Co. Releases

Never lose your keys again; especially if you carry this carabiner made by Diamond Supply Co. Do it in style with either this “tiffany” blue colorway or red colorway. Your choice. There are multiple colors on the way to stay on the lookout. The carabiner also comes in this sweet little plastic casing. I’m looking at it now and I’m thinking I can throw my loose coins in there. Sweet touch.

Kim Jones for Dunhill

In late 2001 Dunhill closed down most of their US stores; leaving open one flagship store in NYC, and another in Hawaii. The venerable brand still had a strong following, but needed a spark to bring the brand back into the limelight. Kim Jones is that spark. After a successful sting at UMBRO Kim Jones was announced in February 2009 to be the one to pair Dunhill’s classic style with a modern flare. Here is a look of what a gentleman with discerning taste will be wearing.

Oh, why not… These Vans Old Skool’s immediately caught my eyes at first glance. I just love the gold/black colorway combo here. I haven’t seen a solid pair of yellow/gold kicks in a long awhile so maybe that’s why I’m drooling over these. Check your local Vans dealers tomorrow, July 1st for the release.
