Been Trill Summer 2015 – According to Been Trill, hashtags are still cool for summer 2015. The brand that was celebrated for an innovative approach to typography is showing its age. After teaming up with PacSun and collaborating with nearly every brand on the face of streetwear, Been Trill’s summer collection invites a world of color. From the bright and bold tank tops to the cool button-up short-sleeves, the collection uses a smoother approach to typography. Gone is the dripping Been Trill logo, and in its place is a simple and sharp print. Been Trill also experiments with Tyvek, a flashspun high-density polyethylene textile by Dupont, that adds another level of texture to the alright bright colors.

84 Inch Surface Tablet – While rumors of a large 12 inch iPad are swirling, Microsoft has something in the works that outdoes them all. The new Surface Hub is a big-ass tablet that is available in a massive 84-inches. Made for the enterprise market the Surface Hub operates just like a Windows Surface Tablet with a touch interface, and all the productivity of a regular PC. The Surface Hub wants to be the centerpiece of every office, and has features that make collaboration and sharing easier and more efficient. Between this and the gold Apple Watch, I’m going to have to go with this.

Prins x Patta Collection – What I enjoy the most about Patta is their testament to authenticity for streetwear in Amsterdam. I don’t know what’s poppin’ on that side of the world, but Patta can give me an idea. They’re doing it again as the celebrate the release of Prins, a VICE feature film that looks into Halal culture in Amsterdam. Featuring a graphic T-shirt, polo, crewneck sweater, and waist bag the lookbook is shot with the film’s co-stars in a Dutch/Muslim neighborhood. It’s a gritty look into an interesting aspect of culture, and once again Patta proves clothes can tell stories.

adidas Element Refine – The summer heat makes me want to wear sandals all the time, but you can’t look like a hobo when you’re out with the lady. The next best thing is a pair of sandals that are lightweight and come with an ultra-breathable upper. Both these components are apparent in the adidas Element, and that sleek slim silhouette is near perfect in the new “Collegiate Blue” colorway. The soft blue contrasts nicely with the white outsole to make this a casual beater for the hot weather.
