Hypebeast Weekly Picks – December 28th
by Staff, December 28, 2008
We hope that everyone had a safe and eventful Holiday season as we look forward to the start of 2009. Here’s our top picks for the weekend ending on December 28th.
Undercover Custom Jacket
An innovative concept combining traditional leathers with knitwear effectively creates a unique series of jackets.
Futura x LTD Magazine 2008 Winter Issue
Over the summer and fall, Futura’s blog was the source of constant updates featuring his visits to ballparks around America. It’s great to see his passion for both photography and America’s pastime come together in print format with LTD Magazine.
Solebox x Rimowa IATA Cabin Trolley
Solebox keep us guessing once again with an off-base Rimowa joint. Sick to see a clear lid integrated into one of the world’s most respected luggage companies.
What more needs to be said with two colossal heavyweights coming together. Although the Serra Ascents are the only product that really strikes me as equal distribution in each brand’s creative input, rest assured this should be a top-quality execution.
All Gone the Finest of Street Culture 2008
End of the year means La MJC’s yearly outlook and insights in the world of cool and most well-received products and art. Like previous years, this year’s editions will surely make for an dope coffee table piece.
Eric Elms Adorn Design Studio Website
As a designer and artist of Eric Elms’ expertise and talent, the launch of a new website does more then just provide a platform of self-promotion as we are met with many of Elms’ most prolific works to date.
Nike Sportswear Lunar Racer Black Collection
One of Nike’s debutant technologies for 2008, Lunar Foam and the subsequent Lunar Racer receive a nice update beyond the original colorway releases which provide a more subtle collection of colorways reminiscent of the History of Air series a few years back.
NIKEiD | Nike Air Max 90 x Vinti Andrews Pit Bull Dogs
A nice interpretation from Vinti Andrews with the use of deconstructed Air Maxs and NIKEiDs. We’ve seen some different uses for sneaker-inspired scupltures, but Pit Bulls are a new approach.
CLOT x Nike 1World Air Force 1
Seeing a return of the tearaway concept, CLOT find an organic way of combining the concept with their own beliefs as well as including their trademark use of silk.
Frank151 x New Era 59FIFTY “Time is Money” Fitted Cap
With a constant stream of well-designed fitteds as part of their Frank Distro League, the “Time is Money” is another well done release from the New York based magazine and barber shop. No hustler will disagree with the cap’s meaning.
