Raised by Wolves Summer Online – Most brands wouldn’t be caught dead selling online ten years ago, but things are much different now and Raised by Wolves is releasing an online exclusive. For summer 2015, the Canada-based brand has teamed up with StreetX in Australia for a pair of mesh shorts, long-sleeve t-shirt, bucket hat, and a larger tote. In addition to this small collection online there is another online exclusive hoodie with CVLT featuring the dark metal work of American illustrator Mark Riddick. Look for the new pieces from Raised by Wolves to release this Thursday, May 7.

popSlate Case – While most cases merely offer protection for your smartphone, the new popSlate adds an additional screen. Besides hugging your phone tightly to prevent nicks and scratches the popSlate case also has an grayscale E-Ink screen on the back. It’s similar to the technology you find in e-readers, and is able to hold up to eight different images. It uses a separate battery that lasts up to a week. One huge downside of the popSlate is that it only displays images. You get an extra screen, but it’s not actively updating information like your phone would. For $129 the popSlate seems more of a novelty than a game-changing smartphone case.

Vans Vault Spring/Summer Slip-On – Vans Vault is back for spring and summer 2015, and they brought along with them a range of new OG Slip-Ons. Unlike typical Slip-Ons these have heavyweight canvas, old school colorways, and original Vans branding. Any Slip-On is perfect for the summertime when a pair of sandals can be too casual. The navy is my personal favorite with the dark blue contrasting perfectly with the clean white midsole. But, if you don’t like blue, there are also springtime colors like foliage green and ceylon yellow.
