Last week, Kidrobot relaunched their store featuring their own brand new apparel collection. Similar to most of their toy and figure designs, a lot of the Kidrobot clothing line features playful and colorful prints, such as their logo, rainbow colors, and even their figures. The new line consists of hoodies and tees, as well as bags and fitted caps. The mob that formed in front of the store during their re-launch should signify that some of these pieces are highly sought after, especially the limited edition items. So hurry on up, if you’re trying to get your hands on some of these items.

Keep your eyes peeled this fall season for the release of these new Puma My-20’s. For this edition, Puma has given this pair of Puma’s a leopard print look, which was designed by Yashuhiro Mihara – a japanese designer who is in his seventh year of his own collection with Puma. Furthermore, Yasuhiro’s 2006 collection is inspired through the moments in horror films where a character has to run or hide in order to escape a terrifying being. Now how’s that for imagination? The shoes will be available at select Puma stores this fall.
