Icon BR Series
October 31st 11, 18:45

After taking a stab at breathing new life into vintage Toyota FJ as well as Jeep CJ models ICON has now turned their attention to the classic Ford Broncos as the canvas for their hardened utility reinterpretations. The Broncos’ lineage makes it the perfect continuation of the Icon line. Having only an life line of 12 years the initial compact models have become somewhat of a holy grail to car enthusiasts who seek the Broncos’ for their quality build, as well as no frills aesthetics. Ford truly showed proper restraint when first concieving the Bronco which has allowed its shelf life to last way past some of its predecessors. Nike also had a hand in helping to develop the new BR as ten designers, engineers, and fabricators were brought in from Nike R&D lab, the kitchen to work on each individual component in each vehicle. The truly stunning BR will have starting price of $150,000.

Porter x Isaora Bag Collection
October 27th 11, 2:45

Isaora has been known to make some of the most fashion consequence yet technically superior outer and mountain wear since their inception. The New York based label has perfectly married the two seemingly distant worlds to create garments that are equally comfortable on the mountain, and along crowded fashion district streets. The latest collaboration from the brand sees them reaching outside of their traditional garbs to spawn a bag collection that stands up to their already well established aesthetic. Getting together with the famed Porter label, the two labels have created two packs the Convertible Waterproof Sling and 25L Waterproof backpack to meet the ridged needs of the most advanced of urban survivalist. The packs feature water resistant leather, ballistic nylon and schoeller™ dynatech abrasion resistant, waterproof, bonded denim made complete with Riri® Aquazip waterproof zippers, seemingly meaning these things will see hell before you see even a scratch upon them. They are equally as beautiful as their techincal spec sheet reads. All in all these may be some of the better bag options available at market today. The collection is currently available at Isaora.com.

Acne Fall/Winter 2011 Black Leather Sneakers
October 16th 11, 16:45

Acne may not be known for having the most edgest of aesthetics but their footwear offering from this current season suggest otherwise. Still based in the hyper minimal approach much of the pieces Acne produces their black leather sneaker seemingly takes on a bit of a more sinister approach as the minimal gives way to the industrial. A seemingly simple high gloss leather upper is transformed by tonal riveted details and a grudged sole that life the profile of the standard trainer to something much more aggressive. If this is the sign of a new direction from the label it comes with much appreciation. The leather sneakers are currently available at thecorner.com.

Blackmeans Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection
October 15th 11, 2:57

Blackmeans may be a new name to many but the Japanese label has been producing fine leather garments since 2008 as an label focused and influenced by various punk movements throughout history. By taking historically iconic garments and infusing them with “New Tokyo” innovative thinking, Blackmeans has attracted the ears of many foreign onlookers eagerly looking towards the west for inspiration. The label has maintained an strictly homegrown fanbase until now as LN-CC has become retailer to their upcoming Autumn/Winter collection. The collection heavily relies upon the holdover fabrication which has brought the label to the forefront, supremely constructed, highly innovate and progressive leather garments. From cowhide cropped sleeved jackets to seemingly overly embellished, yet brilliant, material paneled sheep’s leather shorts, Blackmeans may very well be situating themselves for a huge impact outside of Japan, an impact we will all feel for sometime.

An activist at heart Ai Weiwei was taken by thousands of children’s backpacks in the rubble left behind in the wake of the disaster. A touching piece, strong, powerful and poignant.
