I claim no affiliation with Nike, only a strong brand following bordering on obsession when they create good product.
Nike SB Zoom introduces a new colorway for team member Stefan Janoski. It’s getting gloomy here in Philadelphia so I might have to save this until spring. If you know like I know, Caliroots is the place to spend your otherwise would be drug money. These are cooler, and they last longer.
What’s In The Mail?| Kanye West x Nabil Elderkin x Spike Jonze Glow In The Dark Book
Yes! Finally got this in the mail this morning. This is a behind the scenes look at Kanye West’s Glow In The Dark tour told through photgraphs by Nabil Elderkin and an extensive interview with Spike Jones. Highlights of the book include the transition of the European tour to the US tour, a CD including some instrumentals from the Glow In The Dark Tour and just the book itself looks cool. You can get the book at Amazon. Check out my unboxing video below.

Unboxing Kanye West Glow In The Dark Book
A little bit back I told you guys about some boots. Got my Red Wing x Ronnie Fieg x David Z boots in the mail today. Fall is going to be fly. The boot comes in three colors, this one is Ashy Gray, and each color was limited to 120 pairs each. I do love the exclusive stuff. If you want a pair, head over to David Z Online and grab them before they run out of stock. Anyway, youtube is taking a long time to process my videos so here are some pictures and get the video to you later.
UPDATE: Youtube got their act together. Here’s my unboxing video.

Take a close watch at this new watch from Nooka. The face of the watch is translucent giving the appearance the digital time readout being displayed on the wearer’s skin. There’s a terrible watch joke in there somewhere but I’m not going to speak it into existence. The Zaz comes in white and black straps and will be released in November. You can pre-order the Nooka Zaz for $395.
Never heard of this brand before today to be honest. From what I read they had a good line up of boat shoes this past spring and summer. My lack of knowledge aside, these caught my eye and they come in a couple good colors for the fall season which is quickly turning into winter here on the east coast. I’ve been looking for an american store that sells these, but for now jump on a pair over at Journal Standard.
Aziz Ansari talks about a night he hung out with Kanye West listening to his own album and Jay-Z drinking his own vodka. Hilarious.
If you follow me at all, you’ll know that the Nike SB Eugene backpack is my favorite backpack ever. It originally came in what was dubbed the Buzz Lightyear colorway. Since then it has come in three more colorways including Ms. Pacman, red, and now the Tiffany colorway. This new version is takes it’s cues after the famed Tiffany dunks from Nike. I didn’t pick up the red or Ms. Pacman backpack, but I might have to spring for this one. No official release day or price yet, but every other one has been $150 so expect to drop the same.
It was a brisk 45 degrees in Philadelphia today which means it is officially pea coat weather for me. I was excited this morning because frankly I know how good my pea coat looks on me. Every man should have a proper pea coat. You don’t have to wear it every day, but not to have one at all is a travesty. In celebration of pea coat weather I was going to write a blog about pea coats. Well, Complex beat me to it and probably did a slightly better job than I would have done. I know when to defer to a greater blog.
[via Complex] “They are as much of a fall classic as playoff baseball
, foliage tours, and awkward in-law holiday dinners. The pea coat remains our go-to piece of outerwear for this season, and it’s a favorite of all the best designers, too. So while you can always roll with a classic Schott, you should explore the many options of this naval-inspired look. That’s where Complex steps in. Read on for our 15 best pea coats for the fall and beyond…”
“Japanese boutique Kinetics is well known for their exclusive items in conjunction with popular outdoor brands and for their current Fall/Winter 2009 collection, they have worked closely with outdoor specialists Marmot on a pair of exclusive shell jackets. The specially developed shell jacket is based on the heavy duty snow sports jacket Comet.
However the Comet model was slimmed down in weight for town use along with original gradient print on the waterproof zippers in contrast colors to the body. Simple coloring with key highlight colors make this easy to wear with 100% nylon fabric that is waterproofed to 10,000mm, enough for serious snow activities. Also on the back portion of the jacket features Heat Navi technology which absorbs heat from light and provides warmth for the wearer. Currently available in black or grey colorways in Kinetics stores.” [via Freshness Mag]
This is the Odds and Evens shirt by 10.Deep which I think looks awesome. 10.Deep is producing a run of limited edition garments that will be released only in select retail stores and online. The first garment, this shirt dubbed Odds and Evens drops October 20th at 10.Deep.com and October 23rd at retailers. I love the quirky details that take this from a regular plaid/checkered shirt to something really original. This shirt was produced in an extremely short run of only 50 pieces so good luck getting your hands on one.
Official word came down today that Kanye West’s clothing line Pastelle will never be released for retail, despite a lookbook of releasing yesterday. The line has been postponed each season for the last 3 years. No word on exactly why the project is being totally shelved but High Snobiety reports that there will be a new line by Kanye West in the future.
Now here’s an interesting sneaker. MS Footwear created a shoe for Footmark to create this sneaker packaged with interchangeable pieces for a multitude of combinations. It’s not the first time it’s been done (New Balance did it about two summers back and I’m sure it’s been done before that as well), but this is definitely one of the most creative interpretations.
The MS Footwear Future Step sneaker will be available only at the Footmark shop in Shanghai for 2999 RMB, which I’m sure means nothing to you. It works out to be about $440 USD. Worth a trip to Shanghai? Maybe you’ll come back with a hot pair of sneaks and a bride. Hey you never know. I’m just sayin’…
