Queens, New York graffiti artist turned fashion designer Claw Money was the mastermind behind the very first womens Hyperstrike Tier 0 release earlier this year with the release of the Claw Money x Nike Blazer. A follow-up to the Blazer has come in the form of Claw Money’s personal high top of choice, the Vandal Hi. She first fell in love with the Vandal Hi over ten years ago and has been a collector ever since.
Her Vandal Hi features a purposely deconstructed upper due to the removal of the foam within the upper. The desired effect was to create a slouchy silhouette free to take on any shape it desired. The reflective peacock feathers were a “couture” touch to draw attention much like the birds they were inspired by. The package is completed with the use of old school fatty laces.
Inquiring Mind has just offered a heads up into some of the hottest items for Fall with the creation of The Buyers Buyble. A wide variety of brands contributed some of their hottest items giving readers a great look of what’s new.
Originally started in 1994 by Japanese designer Hikaru Otani (who later went on to start Xescape), this endeavor represented a casual and wearable collection of garments and accessories. A view at their latest collection reveals a series of garments fabricated with the use of some interesting designs and flattering fabrics. Available now at Eproze.
The 2007 Fall Collection from Japanese label Revolver recently landed at Sold Out. The line garner much attention during the Summer with the release of a collection created with the help of SO Me, the art director at Ed Banger Records. The line is comprised of t-shirts and a convertible Hoodie Varsity Jacket. The sleeves and hood on the jacket is removable turning it into a a vest. Available now at Sold Out.
Although the runner shoe silhouette of the Alife x New Balance 576 didn’t pan out, this unworldly concept with Asics did materialize with the use of the Gel Lyte III running shoe. This creation derives its inspiration from a Godzilla/reptile theme which is definitely one of the more literal sneakerfications of any creature themed sneaker we’ve ever seen. The toe box features a scaly print while the midsole is designed to represent the teeth. The hanging eye accessories seals the deal. Look for these to release on Monday, October 15th exclusively at Alife locations. Price is set at $200 USD.
