Clae Spring ‘09 collection – exclusive images
February 10th 09, 15:21
Founded in 2001, Clae helped to pioneer the fusion of sneakers and smarter footwear. Proving that ’smart casual’ can sometimes be a very good thing, their hybrids of athletic and traditional styles found favour with a generation who had outgrown the skate shoes of their youth but weren’t ready to hang up their sneakers just yet. Here’s an exclusive look at the new Spring 2009 collection which stays true to the brand’s philosophy of creating dapper modern classics with unusual details. This season sees a couple of new models introduced to the line-up, while several staple favourites have been revamped with new colours and fabric applications including patent leather and wool.

Bright Tradeshow Exhibitions
January 31st 09, 15:54
Last weekend’s Bright tradeshow in Frankfurt played host to several exhibitions featuring everything from live painting to fixed gear bike demos. The artwork on display included murals applied directly to the walls of the disused police station that houses the tradeshow, as well as paintings and prints from the likes of Geoff McFetridge, Dalek and Cody Hudson amongst some great work from lesser-known names. Meanwhile Fixed Gear London and Suburbs Crew from Paris joined forces with Azita for a display of track bikes and a demo centring around a specially-built bank & wallride area. The undisputed highlight of the exhibition was a deluxe all-black bicycle featuring a velvet-coated frame and handlebars covered with ostrich skin. (more…)

Oi Polloi Moccasins
January 16th 09, 14:05
Manchester menswear connoisseurs Oi Polloi are following up their Etnies Plus collaboration with their own take on the moccasin. The low-cut shoes are hand-made in the USA using high quality Swiss hides tanned in a small, family-owned English tannery. The unique production process results in leather with tightly-joined fibres that are still pliable and breathable – in layman’s terms, this means that they feel as good as they look. The shoes will be available in very limited quantities from Oi Polloi in February.
