The new Adidas Stan Smith II is the revolution of the original Stan Smith but more comfortable with the thin tougue. The collaboration with Oki-ni is releasing in October with three unique twist of original tennis colours. Info from Crooked Tougues.
On the Foot-Patrol site, they say something about the new Nike new project, “The Gentlemen’s Pack”.
“The next big wave on the 20th August, ‘The Gentleman’s Pack’ from NIKE: Air Zoom Trainer 1 Mid and Free Trainer. The shoes use high premium fabrics and the collars and tongues use a suiting fabric inspired by gentleman’s bespoke suits hence the name ‘The Gentleman’s Pack’. This is all we know at the moment. We’ll update more when we hear more info… Keep an eye on….”
Also, the Beautiful Losers Blazers are now available on their on-line store for 65GBP.
Undftd/Undefeated’s site has a little bit of an update. Not only is the Undftd Dunk high which are in the Clerk Pack is up, a series of Jacob Arabo sneakers is also up. Don’t they only make watches? Guess not! If we can have Diamond Dunks then why can’t we have Jacobs sneakers? They comes in all black and all white, having the two big airport names, JFK and LAX as their names. The JFK series uses leather and crocodile leather, and LAX uses leather and ostrich leather. Available now at Undftd.
Oki-ni and Adidas redesigned the 1980’s trainer exclusive for Oki-ni. They are available in three colorways, metal grey and pink, forest and aqua, blue ribbon and calvi. Personally I like the blue one since it has a taste of the classic, and looks sharp. Get yours at Oki-ni for $167.

We’ve seen what Marc Jacobs has done with the Vans Slip-Ons, and it is really is quite incredible. In the same vein, Ralph Lauren has released a Slip-On shoe with little skull and crossbones all-over! It looks so sick! Sadly, it was only released in Japan, but if you can get ahold of stuff from Japan, these can’t be missed! Believe it or not, Polo shirts were actually released in Japan featuring the same logo! Why do they get all the good stuff… via LaMJC.
