Hong Kong’s Subcrew label opened up their first flagship store outside of Hong Kong a short while back. Their store UNITY will provide a great opportunity for Taiwanese fans of Subcrew to get their hands on the latest gear from the popular Asian brand. We recently interviewed Subcrew’s Kobe in regards to a few things about Subcrew’s philosophy and reasoning behind their most recent project. Check out the interview here.
If you’re on the search for a genuinely unique and detailed watch, check out Nooka’s Creatures of the Night [COTN™] collection of watches. Sure camo has been rehashed into a buttload of different styles and forms, but Nooka’s own design takes a slightly different approach. Creatures of the Night has incorporated “grey/urban animals” into the mix and integrated them into the whole camo mix. Three styles are available, Urban Jungle Grey, Balmy Army Green and Crooklyn Remix. Check out the list of stockists here.
The Japanese label, Tilt, is rarely heard of in the States but in Japan, they’re known for their studded belts and bracelets. Recently Stussy Japan has recently teamed up with Tilt for a leather Studded belt and bracelet. Made with 100% leather, the belt will go for 19,740 Yen while the bracelet will go for 8,190 Yen. These limited items are now available at Stussy Japan stores. No word if they’re going to make it to the States though.
“Back to basic” is the theme of this year in streetwear. Everyone’s ditching their all over prints and going back to plain simple colors. If you’re feeling that steez but don’t want to sacrifice all colors, this shoe might be for you. These simple Nike Air Max Lights has just recently been released. The colorway of white/red/grey isn’t all too crazy. Sporty yet elegant, these are now available at Atmos Tokyo.
The magazine Sneaker Freaker, founded by Simon Wood aka. Woody has been around for quite a while. This year they have released their 11th issue of the magazine but that’s not all they’re going to release. It looks like there will be a collaboration sneaker in the works with Puma which you might have already seen on the cover of Sneaker Freaker issue #11. Now, thanks to Guillotine, here’s a better picture of the shoe which is dubbed “Blaze of Glory”. There is currently no word on release date yet but hopefully we can see these in stores soon.
Also at the Bread and Butter Show that’s taking place in Barcelona right now, the English brand Addict will be doing some crazy collaborations with OG street brands like XLarge, Freshjive, and Fuct. What they have done is take original designs from XLarge, Freshjive and Fuct and modified it with either the Addict logo some camo. We’re guessing that these will be dropping in Fall ‘08.
