Huf SF relaunched their website today. The website has a very different look and feel from the last one, but retains the usual green Huf color. You can scroll through all their products from the home page with ease, and because it is all picture-based, you will find everything you’re looking for without knowing the names of the products. The online store is not yet launched, but it does have a very cool countdown clock that tells you exactly how much time is left.

Here’s the new Jordan commercial which is now broadcasting on TV and on other media outlets like Youtube. In this commercial, Michael Jordan starts off by saying “Maybe It’s My Fault” and leads on with several “Maybes” before telling the watcher that perhaps we’re just making excuses for not being as successful as he was. Even though the commercial was just a commentary, the mood it gave off was inspiring. Another nice piece of work from the folks at Wieden + Kennedy and Jordan Brand.

The new Bape Harajuku store which opened up in January is another masterpiece from the design firm Wonderwall. On the Wonderwall site, they state:
“For the Bape store, after discussions with Nigo, we decided to create a store that felt like a town within a building with an American diner flair. However, for the top floor, a sense of playfulness was added with a colonial style resort inspired space.”
