Hot colors for hot weather; I like the ring to that. Japanese-based brand Head Porter comes through with these really nice handy bags (Don’t say “man bags”). The popping colors will surely get the heads turning but it’s the function here that is key. Carry your iPod, carry your keys, carry your pennies, carry your crayons, carry whatever. Carry your pet hamster. I just want one to carry something in.

If you haven’t already, head over to David Choe’s website and spend some time looking at some of his pieces. Some words that might come to mind are abstract, obscure, out of the ordinary, but no doubt unparalleled. Upper Playground has co-produced with him this one of a kind New Era fitted cap. One of his signature styles is the whales you might have noticed if you looked through his gallery. They’re available now at the webstore.

Following the huge success of the Eggplants Foamposites which were released earlier this year, Nike is bringing back the coveted Foamposites once again next year. This time it will come in a copper colorway in respects to Penny Hardaway, referencing the fact that US Penny Coins are made from copper.

Emerica and their Europe division team rider Pontus Alv met a while back to create this commemorative shoe for the recent passing of Alv’s father. The color scheme contrasts well well the grey suede exterior and emerald green interior. The piece looks classic and perfect for any skate session or even a stroll downtown. They’re super limited so get the 411 first from your local skate shop, but if you can’t wait, they’re also available online at Ripe in Japan.

More accessories are the new thing now, didn’t you hear? Huf hits us up with these new sticker and button packs that will soon be available in the shop soon. Be on the lookout! Let’s see, you can bomb street signs with the stickers and you can pin the buttons anywhere on your body. Just not your skin.


Grind in style with these sweet new skatedecks from a collabo with both San Francisco-based brands, Huf and Real Skateboards. This graphic might be a little familiar to some, as it was used in past products from Huf. But who cares, it looks rad. Your go, either the black and white colorway or a red and black colorway. These are now available at both HUF San Francisco (812 Sutter St.) and HUF Los Angeles (410 N. Fairfax Ave.) flagship locations. See you there.

Holy-wow-oh my-hello-hi-hey-crap! I’m stoked. My favorite artist ever (R.I.P.) now can be seen on a pair of sneakers. Reebok honors Jean-Michel Basquiat’s legacy with two pairs of shoes for anybody to wear. One model, Reebok Freestyle and the other model, the Ex-O-Fit-Hi comes in both a black shoe and a white shoe. Both of these models are now available, in limited quantity, at the Parisian boutique Colette. Scroll down for the product shots. Someone buy me these. Now.

Whenever I think of Kangol, I think of LL Cool J. But this Kangol cap is waaaaay different from what I’m reaching for here. Patta links up with Kangol for this all brown premium leather hat with ear flaps. The detailing in this thing is crazy. But I guess you have to buy it to believe me. The release date is still up in the air so I’ll keep you posted soon if you’re nice to me.

Due around the same time next year from Gourmet is the new collectino of the L’Otto shoe/boot. Technically speaking, it’s a fusion where the upper portion resembles a boot and the lower area is a sneaker. But don’t be mistaken, this is Gourmet and they’re known for some one of a kind designs. Would you expect anything less? Seen below are the new offerings in grey, red, salmon and aqua marine.

ARKITIP and INCASE have tapped on Steven Harrington, Parra, and KRINK to work on a few of their projects. This time they have asked St. John from HUNTERGATHERER to collaborate on a woodgrain print laptop sleeve and IPhone case. As with all projects by Arkitip there is a high chance of the product selling out.
