Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2011 Moccasins

Legendary designer Tom Ford appeals to the outdoors and Native American side of things with these new Moccasins presented in his upcoming Spring/Summer 2011 collection. If you solely catch a glimpse of the footwear from the front, it would appear as just your average Moccasin slipper, but once you get the horizontal side view, you see where Ford used his imagination. A shredded flap accents the deep orangey brown leather and is capped off by thick stitching to add to vivid detailing.

JSawyer Custom Converse

Recently my sister dearest was doing a little online shopping and came across the Converse customization option, which I know is nothing really new, but since she emailed me the link, I had to check it out. About two and a half minutes later, my creation was finito. Have a look see at what I conjured up... -JSawyer

PS.
I'll be taking orders first thing next week... Ha Ha

Nike Bespoke, eat your heart out... Sense my sarcasm??

It's Confirmed. Sneaker/Suit Combos are a Go

Spotted on the red carpet during the premiere showing for highly anticipated action thriller Iron Man 2, Robert Downy Jr. and Justin Theroux have continued one of the most recent fashion trends in rocking a nice pair of sneakers with their suits. I for one, am all in favor. Not a huge fan of formal dress-wear to begin with, this is definitely a train I could board. It sure doesn't hurt that Theroux is rocking some custom Air Force 1's. I could definitely see Nike dunks as a go to sneaker for the combo. Time to up on my formal appearances so I can try it out! -JSawyer

Coming from a tee shit connoisseur that has been in quite a lull as of late, this drop right here from Motivation is one of the illest I have seen in quite some time. Channeling Jay-Z and Pharrell's So Ambitious.

Paul Rodriguez x Incase

This has got to be the illest backpack I have ever seen. From the colors, to the innovative material, and legitimate number of pockets. I would expect nothing less from something related to P-Rod. -JSawyer

Always looking for something "different," these Peanut New Eras are pretty dope in my opinion. My lil sis is a pretty huge fanatic of Peanuts. Think she'd rock it if I snagged her one?? Ha ha okay, maybe not... -JSawyer

Crooks & Castles x Seiko WIRED H

Following the successful launch of its UNDERCOVER collaboration last month, timepiece label WIRED h, a subsidiary of electronic giant Seiko, paired up with Crooks & Castles, in creating a special watch for the quintessential So-Cal brand.  Featured the the “chain link” coil motif, in black and red, set around the bezel, the Crooks & Castles edition carried 2 technical advancements WIRED h is known for. First, the face of the watch is dotted with miniature solar panels, which constantly charges the battery, no matter the light source. An internal battery acts as a backup but it rarely need to be change. The second advancement is the watch’s ability to synchronize with the atomic clock, via 2 low frequency radio towers, on a daily basis. This not only ensure the accuracy of the time (an accuracy of 1/100th of a second). It also ensure the user never have to adjust the time. In addition, the watch incorporate a large LCD, allow dual time displays of 32 major international cities, and is water resistant up to 100 meters (~300 feet).

Bird Vs. Dr. J - Shirt Release

Packer Shoes got some well-deserved attention with the release of their standout model of the Reebok Pump 20 model that was dedicated to the legacy of an often overlooked baller–Domique Wilkins. A heritage approach to the sneaker is what made the sneaker such a success, and the same N.B.A. nostalgia can be found on these shirts released by Packer Shoes. This image is from a 1984 confrontation between Larry Bird and Julius “Dr. J” Erving. Packer released a run of these shirts in the past, but have re-released them in Boston Celtics green Philadelphia 76ers red and gray. The script Packer Shoes logo is sewn onto the sleeve, while the date of the altercation–11/9/84 is screenprinted on the inside of the shirt. These are available now at Packer Shoes. (via the freshness mag)


Being a huge hoops fan and an admirer of the games of both Larry the Legend and Dr. J, this shirt idea by Packer is phenomenal. I give it the coveted 5 out of 5 stars. -JSawyer

Japanese based brand Winfield gives us a look at their latest fitteds just in time for those of us in the cold. Utilizing their token W New Era, they switch it up by using thick tweed material. It’s available in three different colorways and you can check out more courtesy of mashKULTURE.

A decent fitted is hard to come by these days, in my opinion. The tweed models from Winfield are pretty dope though. I give them a 4.5 out of 5 stars. -JS 

Lancier - Dita Eyewear Collection

This is the first that I've seen from Dita Eyewear, and I must say that I like what they're doing. This collection was incorporated to be lightweight but also retain a bit of strength.

Lancier by Dita Eyewear™ is born of that truth, engineered to fulfill that requirement. Lancier lenses are of the highest optical quality, offered with and without polarization. Lancier frames are meticulously handcrafted by our master craftsmen in Japan from lightweight materials including titanium, zyl acetate and co-injected rubber. In addition, the frames feature our patented Temple Release™ technology. The result is eyewear as strong, adaptable and driven to perform as the individuals who choose to wear it.

 The Lancier features three different models, with only 450 pieces being released all together. I give this creation by Dita a 4 out of 5 stars. -JS
