Hypebeast Weekly Top Picks – September 14th
by Eugene Kan, September 14, 2008
Having played around with a few different concepts to sort of summarize the week’s events, this week we round out the last sevens with a straight-up top 10 picks of the week.
Ransom 2008 Fall Collection
Ransom seem to be hitting the mark quite consistently and are growing at a rapid pace for a brand with such a short history, however their team have demonstrated that they have more than enough tools to become a dominant player.
maharishi “Hunt-Gather-Survive” 2008 Fall/Winter Collection
From Ransom to maharishi, we see Hardy Blechman’s vision and innovation push through once again as the brand puts together a conceptually strong and well-designed collection.
mastermind JAPAN x CORE JEWELS
Never one that ceases to amaze, mastermind JAPAN pull out all the stops as they apply their penchant for skulls and extravagance on a series of jewelry with mastermind JAPAN.
Medicom Toy x Nike SB Dunk Low Gore-Tex
Perpetrators of some of the sneaker world’s most desirable sneakers over the last few years, Medicom Toy/Babekub City bring it once again as their largely one-color affairs is replicated with the help of the world’s most famous technical fabric, Gore-Tex.
Commonwealth x New Era 59FIFTY All “C” EEING Fitted Cap
One of the cleanest and most interesting re-appropriations I’ve seen recently with the notion of tonal achieving increasingly good results across the board.
Air Jordan I Low Phat 2008 Fall/Winter Collection
Although Jordan has yet to officially do it up proper with a true high-top in classic colors, I guess things such as these upcoming AJI Low Phats will have to suffice for now.
A great fitted program is more then what HUF should be known for as they match step-for-step with a strong collection of apparel and accessories. HUF is well on their way to following in the footsteps of some other skate-based label out of New York.
Stone Island Shadow Project 2008 Fall/Winter Collection
For those looking for the unparalleled technical aspects that accompany Acronym without the liberal aesthetics, the Stone Island Shadow Project does a great job of stepping in.
White Mountaineering 2008 Fall/Winter Collection
Despite the obvious inspirations from the past, White Mountaineering has offered some great updated versions of hiking classics. The use of contemporary materials lead to something that offers great versatility in the current landscape with the selected use of patterns great for bringing the whole collection together.
Converse Century Project One Star | Poorman Hi
Not much to grumble about in terms of Converse’s 100th Anniversary releases and these are no exception. Albeit the sole itself is pure All Star, it’s nice to see a new profile.
