Beams T has teamed up with the well known artist, Futura, on two t-shirts and a cap. Even though we have seen a lot of Futura Laboratories items lately, we really like this collabo especially Futura tagging Beams T. There must be something magical about the way he writes or maybe its just that we’re bias. Anyhow, the items are now available at the Beams T store.

Thanks to the French blog Guillotine, we get to take a look at some of the upcoming products from Gourmet’s Fall/Winter collection. In these pictures, we get a look at some Houndstooth pattern sweater and jackets. The clothes are nice but nothing exciting. However, one picture reveals some upcoming sneakers from the brand. Gourmet’s sneakers have been popular since the beginning due to the fact that the silhouette’s of their sneakers resemble the Air Jordans but in a much more refined way. We can’t wait to see better pictures of these new sneaker colorways. Stay tuned for more info!

It looks like the Nike ACG department had something cool under their sleeves. They have been recently working on really interesting and functional concept – the Convertible Considered Dunk. This Dunk features a heel flap which can be flipped down making it easy for the wearer to put on or take off. We would imagine that they would be useful for frequent flyers who could easily slip them off during security checks or on the plane. Unfortunately, Nike decided to drop this idea so you probably won’t be seeing this in stores anytime soon.
