Dopefiend has conducted an interview with the newly opened Alife in Vancouver.
“After months of speculation, rumour and hearsay, alife finally opened up their second store late September 2005 in Vancouver, British Columbia, in the heart of Gastown. But why Vancouver? It didn’t seem like an obvious choice…perhaps it was the Olympics? The whole west coast thing? Turns out, it was a very deliberate move by one of the sharpest streetwear design teams working today. We had a ton of other questions to ask, so we spoke to Nate Sabine of alife Canada and Nubile Distribution to clear up all the rumours surrounding North America’s hottest new boutique.”

Although I do not consider this is news, but I think that is wrong not to share this with you guys. Exit has restocked the Nike SB Reese Forbes ‘Hunter’ Dunk Low and they sell it as a package with the Rasa Libre Deck for 100GBP. I think the price is quite decent compares to some other online shops.

Update by Kevin: Caliroots also has restock their Dunk SB’s as well!
Many brands has their own M-65 Jacket borrowed from the military clothing style. RTHQ has a in-depth reading of these M-65 jackets.
“The cross over appeal of military clothing into civilian life is well recognised. Furthermore, the influence of military uniforms on fashion is a recurring theme and has been widely written about. Whilst countless articles might discuss and critique the designers who are inspired by these clothes in their own ranges, what is the story behind the original designs? Where do they come from? Who made them? And when? This is my attempt to shed more light on one garment that is surely worthy of further investigation; the M-65 jacket.”
