Wacko Maria Army Jackets

Everybody’s favorite brand these days seems to be Wacko Maria, brought to light by Tet’s Honeyee blog or by hipster’s guidebook Huge mag. We’ve seen a strong South Western/Blues/Mexican theme until now but of course we had to see some Militaria coming. After all, Army jackets are an integral part of true American fashion, adorned by patriotic loners from Steve McQueen, to John Rambo (First Blood not Rambo pt. 100) and Travis Bickle (Taxi Driver). These jackets are slightly different from the played out M-65 and we see pre-Vietnam garments including the M-56’s forefather the M-51 which has a full velcro strip down the front. Wacko Maria keeps it relevant with the latin Catholic touch and prints the back of the jackets with its trademark Maria icon. Available now at Ark.

Stussy Philadelphia Store

Stussy Philadelphia Store

Philadelphia is the birth place of many notable peoples including The Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff, The Roots, and Noam Chomsky. Now it is also home to the newest Stussy store. Stussy opened its doors in Canada and Washington DC lately and the Philadelphia location is its third this year and we are only in the fourth month of 2008. Maleable fluorescent lighting is used to decorate the interior, and we get a little peak at Stussy’s official site. Expect much much more from the originators in the fields of fashion and culture, stay tuned.

Juice Re-Opening Party

Juice Re-Opening Party

It’s been a busy week for the whole crew at CLOT with last night marked by the grand re-opening of their newly renovated retail front Juice. As referenced by an earlier interview with CLOT co-owner Kevin Poon, the new shop is an updated reflection of the direction CLOT has taken with a more minimalistic and refined approach. For those who have had the chance to view the pre-renovation CLOT, a drastic change sees the removal of the wooden concept into a clean cut white approach. The store is open as of Saturday, April 19th. Juice2/F Flat A53 Paterson StreetCauseway Bay, Hong Kong

Solebox x Asics Gel Lyte III

With impending troubles on the horizon between Solebox and Nike Germany, Solebox has returned to one of its greatest skills as collaborator extraordinaire. It seems more often then not every sneaker to come under their influence of the German sneaker shop has yielded smart and cohesive colorways, albeit with a strong affection to purple. Their latest collaboration with Asics on the Gel Lyte III features a purple/gray suede sneaker. However beyond a nice colorway is a color sensitive upper/midsole that turns purple in the sun. Two different styles were created, a special Solebox exclusive with the stores name featured on the heel and sole that will only be available through the Berlin retailer as well as a version devoid of Solebox symbolism that will be available at Asics’ finest dealers around the world. No word yet on a release date however by all accounts it should be arriving soon. Check Solebox for more details.
