Last year in June, we saw the release of the 4 feet Companion toy from the artist KAWS. The toy which cost $2500 USD was instantly sold out when it was released. Recently some friends of KAWS including Nigo and Kei had a visit to KAWS’ studio in New York. In one of the pictures from his blog, there is a 4 feet Companion in a Black colorway. Unfortunately, there is currently no information whether this is an upcoming release or just a sample made for “friends and family”.
Here is the new Original Fake Chompers Belt which is based on Kaws’ signature “Chompers” pattern. This pattern has been seen on products like Bape sneakers, Bape hoodies and many other cool items. The belts are made by Medicom Toy which is responsible for the Original Fake brand. Two colors are available for the belts which are black and white. Available now at We Sold Out for 155.00 €.
OriginalFake has always intertwined Kaws’ trademark aesthetics and high quality technical fabrics. Upcoming releases feature a Gore-Tex Paclite jacket and Gore-Tex Denim jacket. Another release includes the Permanent Denim Pants (produced by Nexus VII). Available at OriginalFake’s Tokyo flagship store in Aoyama and honeyee.

Fan of the artist Kaws will love this one. Original Fake will be soon releasing some socks utilizing Kaws’ signature “X” marks. The socks will come in four colorways and will be avialable at the Original Fake store in Japan as well as Original Fake dealers worldwide.
We have always loved how art or logos can be used in wearable and household products so these socks are quite refreshing from the usual form of t-shirts.

Not a lot of details but it looks as though artist Kaw has a Nike Air Force 1 Supreme in the works with Nike. The black nubuck upper is accentuated by trademark X logos from Kaws and neon green highlights throughout on the stitching, sole and laces. Stay tuned for more news regarding their availability.

Here’s an auction going down featuring allegedly artwork by artist Kaws, Faile and Neck Face. Taking place on a good ol’ 1996 Dodge Ram, the art work is of unknown authenticity, but perhaps a buyer could parade it around and lure streetwear kids in with promises of free t-shirts… modified Bangbus styles. The eBay link can be seen here.

With an attention to detail unparalleled, Japanese brand Nexus VII has released some new items as part of their latest collection of apparel. The pieces include a collaboration with associate brand Original Fake on a cable knit sweater, a doll and a Gore-Tex jacket in white. Available at select Original Fake dealers such as Sold Out.
Original Fake has released several new items for January. Previously we saw a denim collabo with Nexus VII as well as a sticker set. Now, here are some new t-shirts that have been released at the Original Fake store in Japan. Two new designs are available. The first is the KAWS’ Chum character designed by artist Mark Dean Veca. The second is the Bobble God. These are now available at Original Fake or at places like Anytime.
Stickers have been a part of this culture since the beginning. People have used stickers to spread their message or just to promote whatever they’re promoting. People have collected stickers and there have even been cases where people resold stickers for a profit. The brand Original Fake, has released a new sticker set which includes six stickers all designed by KAWS. They are now available at Cruisin.
Edison Chen from CLOT has a successful year in 2007, having released his first mandarin album in 3 years and also the hip-hop duo Fama from his music production company CMD has taken several major music awards in the past month. This year, Edison will release his long-awaited Cantonese album and just recently he has given a sneak peek into his new song’s music video. In the picture you will no doubt recognise the infamous double crosses by NYC street artist Kaws. From the look of things, this should be another highly anticipated album.
Spongebob Squarepants has been getting a lot of attention these past few months in the world of street culture since collaborating with Bape. The popular artist KAWS has just posted a picture on his personal blog on Honeyee of the character Spongebob Squarepants drawn in KAWS’ signature style. Will this be a t-shirt, an upcoming toy or just a tribute to Spongebob? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Back in June, it was revealed that artist Kaws was to throw in some characteristics from his trademark Companion figures with Tokyo Tribe character Hasheem to create a toy. Originally seen in grey, the end result seen here seems to have been altered with a new face. Only two stores in Japan will receive shipment of these for their December 22nd release date. Also available will be two t-shirts created with Santastic.
