Garry is the owner of Livestock the very famous sneaker shop and now Illustrated Example (I.E.), Vancouver’s latest edition to the streetwear fashion scene. We were lucky enough to get a first hand tour of the shop and all the amazing products and elements of design contained within. For those who have been to Livestock do not expect I.E. to be similar, it is the complete opposite. The shops walls are a beautiful white linen, the displays and clothing racks are made of elegant solid wood, and the clothing is amazing. I.E. carries premium brands such as PRPS, Corpus, One True Saxon, Y3, Nooka, Stussy, and Uppercut. When and if in the Vancouver area I.E. is a must see. Its high quality minimalist aesthetic and excellent brand selection make it a great addition to the ever changing Gastown area.
As part of it’s Anniversary celebration Omni has come out with this new premium Nike ID Design called Jay Dunk II, which is a follow up to the previous Jay Dunk I custom. Also included in this Anniversary is Omni’s collaborative shirts with the Kenlu site. For those who aren’t aware of Omni, it is a fashion shop managed by Jay Chou, who other than being an actor and singer, runs this great fashion store. Congrats to Omni in their anniversary.

As some of you might already know, DC is hooking up with a bunch of skate shops around the U.S. for special releases of DC sneakers. This time DC is hooking up with Nebraska skateshop, Silo for a limited edition DC Lynx. The shoe colorway is a simple black and white, with the white part being patent leather, and the black part made up of perforated glove leather. The Silo logo is also on the side of the show. So for all you kids out in the midwest, make sure to check out Silo in Nebraska when you get the chance.

This season, Nike will be releasing a new Nordic Pack which will consist of both a Dunk Low and a Terminator High. Although not fully clear by the images, the Dunk Low looks as though it will sport suede material. The Terminator High on the other hand will be made of premium leather sporting a ribbed-like design on its upper ankle area. Neat concept.
