The traditional nylon is being passed up in favor Supermarine cotton that is both water resistant and windproof.

Unofish Basketball – Here is a fine example of everything wrong with consumerism. Unofish is a company that takes exotic leathers to make basketballs you put on display. You’re not even supposed to play with these. Anyways, I wasn’t aware there was niche market of basketball lovers who were interested in displaying their love for the sport with basketballs made from ostrich, stingray, python, and a ton more. For my money, I would rather throw 2 hundy on a discontinued Spalding TF-1000.

NikeLAB ACG Flyknit Chukka Trainer – ACG has been on hiatus for the last couple of years, and while Nike has been throwing the fans some retro sneakers, the outdoor line was due for a facelift. It’s back, and ACG dropped the bright colors for something dark and foreboding. At the helm is Hugh Errolson from ACRONYM, and previously Stone Island Shadow Project. The dark and discreet outdoor gear is flanked by Nike’s bevy of technical upgrades. In the center are the shoes, and the one that caught my attention is the Flyknit Chukka Trainer. The high-cut runner is designed for the urban terrain, but can handle a hike in the woods with the upgraded waterproof Flyknit uppers and overlays across the heel and toes. If this is what ACG is doing, then we have ourselves a nice start.
