We’ve seen what Marc Jacobs has done with the Vans Slip-Ons, and it is really is quite incredible. In the same vein, Ralph Lauren has released a Slip-On shoe with little skull and crossbones all-over! It looks so sick! Sadly, it was only released in Japan, but if you can get ahold of stuff from Japan, these can’t be missed! Believe it or not, Polo shirts were actually released in Japan featuring the same logo! Why do they get all the good stuff… via LaMJC.

Atmos Tokyo and Ubiq Philly have done a collabo tee shirt based on the infamous Love Park logo. For me, Love Park is/was one of the most incredible places in the world. On the other hand I love kicks, and Atmos is known to come out with some fire in that department, so I just gotta get down with this one. It’s even shiny. Pretty damn cool. ASF spotted it first!
