Here’s a selection of caps they’ve rigged up for the 2008 Spring collection which includes New Era 59FIFTY caps as well as mesh caps. Look for more colorways of the New Eras to release.

This past week in Paris, Italian store Slam Jam displayed a series of upcoming collections from the likes of Gourmet, PAM, WoodWood and the relatively unknown collection of footwear Be Positive.

Interesting to see what else Be Positive has racked up in future collections.
