Forget the crappy magazine scans from a few days ago, the real deal from Supreme for their 2008 Spring/Summer collection has been revealed. The collection include products designed by American cartoon director Ralph Bakshi and popular jeweler Gabriel Urist as well as a few 90s Polo inspired pieces. Here’s a selection of pieces we felt are among the strongest, with the rest available to check out at Supreme.
Representing the core of casual wear, sneakers and denim are two things that will undoubtedly pass through the hands of most people through their lifetime. Back in 1988, New Balance released their fan favorite 576 runner. Coincidentally Japanese repro jean company Denime also began their first work in 1988 producing high quality denim. Together the two will celebrate their respective 20th anniversaries with two collaboration 576s. The off-white model is inspired by White Buck shoes from the 20s and on while the blue pair is modeled after deck shoes. Currently for sale online at Denime.

Teaming up with Japanese music artist rio, Devilock has produced their first in a series of Lady Series tees. The t-shirt combines Devilock’s iconic Palmboy mascot with a scantily clad rio. Available now through eproze.
Continuing on with their Be True Chronicles, Nike attempts to shed light on concepts and designs that may have been previously overlooked in the past as well as create a hall of fame of some of Nike’s biggest Dunks to ever come through their hands. Their insight includes the Viotech and the original UNDFTD release. Perhaps most interesting is the inevitable furor that surrounds each UNDFTD shoe release. Although samples never come back in its intended form, this has proved a real blessing in disguise as the mis conceived samples are often a hit and ultimately influence the final product. Check the most recent chronicle releases as well as previous ones over at Nike Be True.
In land of consignment sneaker shops, Flight Club arguably reigns supreme as it has become the one stop shop for those looking to peddle their vintage kicks and make some cash on hyped up releases. Teaming up with another leader in their respective field, throwback brand Mitchell & Ness and Flight Club produced a quality varsity jacket. The black/gray jacket features Flight Club patches on the rear as well as the sleeves.
