Lupe Fiasco’s Trilly&Truly will release it’s third capsule collection in association with Japanese brand swagger. The collection titled Fall of Rome (F.O.R.) includes Lupe’s personal touches and themes of love on swagger’s high end approach to streetwear which maintains deep roots in hip hop. The collection will be available at St. Alfred(Chicago), Patta (Amsterdam) and choiceisyours.jp this week.
Appearing in Japan is this latest Blazer. Aside from a black toebox, the sneaker is comprised of almost all woven material. The designers have also included a perforated leather Swoosh and an embroidered star on the heel tab. No word yet on availability stateside or elsewhere but we imagine they’ll drop eventually.

As a teacher and photographer Joseph Szabo developed a strong relationship with his students. In the mid 70s, a few of his students enticed him to join them on a trip to Pennsylvania from Long Island to see The Rolling Stones, well in reality we had a suspicion the kids wanted to bum a ride. Szabo captured 90,000 Stones fans in a frenzy. He teamed up with Australian superbrand PAM to produce two t-shirts and a book titled Rolling Stones Fans. Available now through bonjour records.
It’s been a good few months for OG sneakerheads with a formidable roster of classics returning in retro form. For fans of the Air Burst, the original retro color, black/red/grey will drop next year. However we all know once you get the OG colors out of the way, the gloves come off and in come the influx of painful and wretched colorways. Look for these in the Spring of 2008.

San Francisco skate shop and clothing brand FTC has hooked Japanese online retailer STLESS with a custom version of their popular FTC logo hoodie. Nothing too crazy here, just the addition of the letter ‘S’ to form SFTC. Come to think of it, to the undiscerning eye, somebody might think of it as an FTC rip. Available now.
