Although sometimes it’s nice to see pre-release super spy shots many months prior to a release, inevitably a hard copy that you can casually leaf through is a much more desirable option then fuzzy barely discernible cell phone shots. Shoe Master Magazine has just released it’s Volume 7 issue and this month features a look into some new and exciting projects from various brands. Some sneakers of interest include upcoming Vans releases (including Vans x Supreme), Rainbow II Nike Air HTM Wovens as well as Footscapes, Converse x Fragment Chuck Taylor All-stars, adidas SB slip-ons, and a never before seen Reebok pack. Judging by the content, there is definitely something for all types of sneaker fiends out there. Check the jump for more pics!

As the Bape Store in Hong Kong nears its April 1st One Year Anniversary, another tee to go alongside the other two has surfaced in the form of this “April Fools” tee. On the back of the shirt is a speech bubble, allegedly it’s purpose is for Nigo to sign during the autograph session. Interesting concept to add some interactivity alongside this event. This tee is much more limited then the other two tee’s but will maintain the same $64 USD retail price.

It is undeniable that camo in one form of another has had a huge effect on streetwear. This definitely has not gone unnoticed during the opening of a brand new Camouflage Exhibit at the Imperial War Museum in which it highlights the evolution of camo as a necessity to combat all the way to it’s place in fashion and popular culture. It’s definitely an interesting exhibit that examines pop cultures affixation and the meanings behind something that was originally designed purely for functionality. MHI has also submitted some pieces to this show that wraps up November 18th.

For some, the only music you’ve ever known has been available on a shiny reflective CD, however for the 20-somethings, fast forwarding through songs on your cassette Walkman with the hope of stopping before the start of your favorite song often never materialized perfectly. The harsh reality that were cassette’s tapes. However horrendous cassette’s were, Marcella Foschi has made them fun again via these all new hand-made cassette wallet’s. Perhaps not your every day user, but a great conversation starter when you need to pack light.
