Orange County’s IM-KING has developed a bold line of graphics to represent their fifth season. For each collection, the brand’s success strives on their ability to cohesively come together as a unit to offer what they perceive is a shirt embodying sense of accomplishment and individuality. The 2008 summer collection is available at 80spurple.com and Attic in OC/SD.
Among the early 90s Reebok Pump classics, the Pump Court Victory has often been overshadowed by Reebok’s other retro Pump offerings. While it seems the Pump Omni Lite is often given more collaboration play, the Pump Court Victory will never be forgotten as the go-to shoe for American tennis phenom Michael Chang who’s career amounted to numerous “youngest ever” records. Seen here today is another rendition of his Court Victory in a clean blue/orange colorway. Available Friday, June 20th at XLarge Japan stores.
Japanese jewelers Garni has achieved popularity for their bold Deco Skull rings. Shop Gentei together with Garni has produced a limited run of 25 exclusive rings. Over 260 Swarovski crystals are carefully hand set within the ring. Available now at Shop Gentei with a price tag of $290 USD.
Bape’s whole color palette on the whole hasn’t necessarily regressed back into a shadow of its former self with less and less bold colors being used, however we have definitely noticed a distinct use of more subtle creations. For a brand who was often characterized by multi-colored releases, these Roadstas are a far cry from the loud colors of the past which offer a good balance in the product range which relies on the use of tonal colors.
Rockers NYC has consistently presented itself as one of the most conceptually rich and aesthetically bold brands out there. Their visions along with love of music have found common ground with Japanese brand swagger as the two recently set out to create a run of t-shirts seen here. Look for these tees to hit select Rockers NYC retailers in the near future.

If you ever feel the need to truly pamper yourself during your workouts, then you can’t go wrong with these Louis Vuitton towels and headbands. The towels come in white with LV lettering and pattern. The headbands and armbands come in a beige color with similar patterns. We can’t say that it will soak up more sweat than regular gym towels, but when has it ever been about practicality?

Jordan Brand is showing Europe some love with an upcoming Spiz’ike release. While the Spiz’ike is the most favorable Air Jordan hybrid yet, we do anticipate some competition from newly created hybrids like the 6 Rings model. These Spiz’ikes are slated for a Europe only release next month in a black/gold colorway. Look for Paris’ Opium to be among the retailers.
