Just the other day, the sportswear cross streetwear label, F.C.R.B or F.C. Real Bristol released their 2008 Spring/Summer lookbook on their website and in the look book we briefly saw what looked to be a F.C.R.B. Body Ball. Now, the creative director of F.C.R.B, Hirofumi Kiyonaga, has released pictures of the Body Ball on his blog. Unfortunately we don’t know exactly when this Body Ball will be released but we find this product very interesting as F.C.R.B. has gone out of the norms of “streetwear” to produce something simple yet functional.
