Last year, Staple from New York collaborated with Gravis on the Black Box Collection which included shoes and hats. Now it looks like The Hundreds were picked to work on this collaboration this year which was revealed at the Bread & Butter Barcelona tradeshow. New items will include two sneakers as well as a luggage collection. The Hundred’s signature grass camo and Adam Bomb will be featured on most of these collaboration pieces. Look for these items to come out later this year.

Legendary New York graffiti artist CrashOne and his brand Brook Avenue teamed up with footwear brand Gravis to produce this collaborative high-top sneaker. The sleek black upper is highlighted by understated embossing on the side panels. The rear includes a Brook Avenue embroidery signifying the area in which CrashOne grew up. Different colors of laces are included, effectively matching the little flag tab of CrashOne’s logo seen on the upper. This limited edition sneaker will be available exclusively at Gravis Black Box dealers in the US and Japan and at Brook Ave flagship stores in Tokyo and New York.
Staple Design are the masterminds behind this year’s Gravis Blackbox Collection. The timing correlated perfectly with Staple’s 10th Anniversary as they picked a theme which they felt best represented the seasonal snow and the city of New York during the winter. In addition, Staple also chose colors that gave an accurate description of the visual changes created by the falling snow. The resulting colors produced were named Fresh Powder, Wet Cement and Parking Lot. The collection features 3 pairs of sneakers, the Lodown, the Royale and the Dune. A luggage set including the Terminal Case, the Metro Backpack and the Jetway Rolling Case is also included. The collection is completed by a New Era 59Fifty fitted cap and a t-shirt.

Swedish denim brand Julian Red has combined their creative talents with footwear label Gravis to create a special collection involving the strengths from each respective brand. The Lodown sneaker has some dark yet romantic highlights in the form of a rose/asphalt pattern on the insole and heel. This same pattern was also seen within Julian Red’s 2007 Spring/Summer collection. The white leather upper sets the tone with leather laces. Moving from Gravis’ forte into the Julian Red’s domain is a pair of collaborative denim. The washed denim features an interesting reddish/pink weft. Available now at stores such as Footasylum, Dogfish, Klog, Soi77 and Schindler in the UK.
