Last year, Devilock joined forces with Subcrew and Clot to produce a crazy 8-pack of trucker hats. This year, Devilock and Subcrew are at it again creating a brand new 9 panel quasi-trucker hat. The back portion isn’t all mesh like traditional trucker hats, and the mesh is reserved for the top parts of the hat. A total of 8 different colors are used for the paneling of the hats. Check the pictures after the jump for a full view of the hat. We’re unsure of the status/release date of this hat, but we’ll keep you posted!

Retailer D-Mop (out of Hong Kong) and Mihara Yasuhiro are in the midst of an exhibition involving a new Collectors Book by Mihara Yasuhiro. The underlying theme of this book involves the artwork of 4 famous Japanese artists who in turn inspired Mihara for this Puma collection. Also present in the collector book is a visual encyclopedia of all of Mihara’s previous 27 sneakers released with Puma. Kix-Files were fortunate enough to have a quick sit down with Mihara to discuss all the background work that goes into his creations. View the interview here.

Bounty Hunter turns 12 years young May 5th this year, which is the basis of their upcoming jersey bearing the #12 in a traditional baseball style jersey. With so many big exports going to the MLB from Japan as of late, one can only assume baseball is as big as ever in the land of the rising sun. Bounty Hunter will also release a special limited edition pin available only at their Tokyo Flagship store. Check the pic after the jump!
The Hundreds were recently sent a pair of 1 of 48 adidas Equipment Basketball sneakers. These sneakers were a special collaboration between Shoe Gallery out of Miami and GTC (art group). Pretty crazy colorway with exchangeable inner bootie to customize the colorway.
If people haven’t checked their Chinese horoscopes yet, HB would like to let you guys know that 2007 is the year of the pig. With that in mind, Nike developed this shoe to commemorate this sign that describes those born under it as a fun enlightened person who’s blessed with patience and understanding. As for the shoe, the “Year of the Pig Dunks” sport different shades of the color pink with a red and gold foot bedding. It also contains suede material on its inside panels, with the ankle panel having an embossed Chinese pattern design. Definitely a great shoe to own for those “Year of the Pig” heads. Shipping for the shoes start tomorrow, March 17th.
