SBTG has just updated his website recently with two pairs of 1 off custom dunk low SB’s named “Point Blank” and “Whiplash” and as always Mark has not left any detail on the shoes un-touched. Using a black coat as his base color for this project along with some bright colors surrounding the toe box area, these two pairs of customs show why SBTG is one of the top customizes out there. By throwing on some SBTG lace locks and lace flap covers onto these kicks helps people recognize you have a pair of kicks on that are most likely limited to less than 30 pairs in the world, with these two particular pairs being limited to just 1 each.

By now, you’ve seen Jeff Staple’s design as part of the Timberland Boroughs project, but what you may not have been clued in on, is that there’s a second layer to the boot once the plaid flannel covering is stripped. Our good friends at Complex actually had the heart to cut away at the top layer, displaying a checkerboard leather boot. These will drop on January 26th, so keep an eye out for them.

We previously reported about the Comme des Garcons Oswald t-shirt and to elaborate on that here is more info on this upcoming project. Dover Street Market will have a Comme des Garcons structure located in the lobby accessed via left entrance of the store called the HUT BOX. HUT BOX is a kiosk-like structure designed by Rei Kawakubo. It will sell perennial Comme des Garcons items like PLAY, wallets and perfume as well as event related, special edition products. A similar Red Box structure will be at the Comme des Garcons store in Paris and for both launches they will introduce Oswald the Rabbit products. There will be five t-shirts and two shirts within different lines and also wallets. A few interesting facts are that Comme des Garcons is the first company allowed to use this Oswald character and Oswald is one year older than the ever popular Mickey Mouse.
The Dover Street Market HUT BOX will be launched on the 20th January 2007.

DQM, Huf, Kicks/Hi and Vans have come together for an incredible collaboration project. This project will probably be talked about for quite sometime as more sneakers are gradually being released. Each store has designed a Vans chukka boot and I must say all of them definitely represents their own style. There will also be a Half Cab, an Authentic, and an Era in this project following the Chukka release and the Chukkas are set a reasonable $95. There is still some wait as the Chukkas will release on March 1st, so check out the pictures for now and think about which ones to pick up.
