Just the other day, the sportswear cross streetwear label, F.C.R.B or F.C. Real Bristol released their 2008 Spring/Summer lookbook on their website and in the look book we briefly saw what looked to be a F.C.R.B. Body Ball. Now, the creative director of F.C.R.B, Hirofumi Kiyonaga, has released pictures of the Body Ball on his blog. Unfortunately we don’t know exactly when this Body Ball will be released but we find this product very interesting as F.C.R.B. has gone out of the norms of “streetwear” to produce something simple yet functional.

Included in the bunch is a bright orange Half Cab, a burgundy red Half Cab and a white Half Cab with a black midsole. Available now at Flauge.

The Nooka Zirc is not only eye-catching, but also practical. For those unfamiliar with Nooka’s system – the 12 dots represent hours and the horizontal row counts minutes. As a timepiece, its unique off-center 45mm by 35mm display case design and separates it from other watches available today. The Nooka logo is also deep-etched into either side of the case. The mode buttons become part of the logo, rising from inside the infinity sign. Currently available for left arm wearers, an adjustable Zirc that can be modified for use on the right arm will be available in late 2008. Available now at www.nooka.com for a suggested retail price of $350 USD.

Creatively matched with functionality is what great products are created from. Because of the special relationship between Nike and the Surf brand Hurley (Nike owns Hurley), the creative minds behind Kicks/HI were able to do something unique. What they did was combine the lightweight properties of the Free sole from Nike and incorporating it into a slipper making this perhaps the best slipper on the market. Kicks/HI also comissioned Gio Estevez from Anx and Supreme for the artwork on the slipper. Perfect for the summer, these will be dropping soon at Kicks/HI.
