Kicks Flow: Adidas Originals - 2010 Black Pack








All BLACK everything!!

The 3 Stripes strike back with two classic kicks, that we think are a must-own for your collection. Show some love to what we're callin' the "all black everything" exclusives.

(ZX 800)
The purpose of the Zx800 when it first appeared in 1986 was to produce a quality hybrid running shoe that would be equally suitable for both training and competition. This version, while retaining the original athletic and performance elements, is made more with the streets, than the track in mind. The all-black upper is contrasted through the use of material with a combination of smooth black suede, a faux crocodile skin leather and a premium fine grain leather coming together to create something that manages to be simultaneously classy and imposing. Other than alternating sections of the crisp white midsole, the only other white point of reference is the ghilly section of the lacing system. A perfect example of an iconic runner evolving to become a premium sneaker that is ready to match whatever style you bring.

(Conductor Hi)
From their introduction in 1987 the Conductor Hi embodied all that was good about the humble hi-top, striking the balance between old school cool while including enough performance elements to still hold sway on the courts. This version keeps it stylish with an all-black upper that utilises the same material mix of smooth black suede, faux crocodile skin leather and a premium fine grain leather that is found on the ZX 800 in the pack.
The upper is neatly contrasted with the predominantly white midsole and outsole, a classic combination that is tried and tested and has never been bested.

GEAH!!

Kicks Flow: Adidas Originals ZX 8000




Y'all know what it is..

The ZX 8000 first appeared in 1989 as a lightweight running model with superior cushioning and a range of more technical elements than previous members of the ZX family.

This version introduces a suede and patent leather combination to the upper in a grey and purple colourway for a clean and stylish result. The toe box and elements of the side panel are constructed in a fine grained, premium suede while the toe bumper and lace stays join up in patent grey with matching grey on the ghilly lacing system.

The Puralite midsole is a colour-blocked purple with small elements of grey, and works extremely well with the matching upper albeit in different materials. An up-to-date, fashionable interpretation of one of the most iconic runners in the adidas catalogue.

Good Money: Nixon - The Private Spring 2010








Freshness..

Orange is the theme color for the Spring/Summer 2010 collection of Nixon and The Private gets a black and orange treatment too. This is a good twist to the all black watch with orange accents and detailing exhibiting enough brightness. As usual the casing is made out of stainless steel and within the indexes and hands are highlighted by bright orange and a zero is added in front of 3, 6, 9 as an added touch creating subtle difference. Canvas wrist band is used for this model with black on the exterior side and matching orange color on the inside that will peek once in a while when worn.

Some Otha Sh*t: Adidas Originals - Spring/Summer 2010 - David Beckham By James Bond - Milan Launch









We good..

As superstar English football player, David Beckham, is currently on loan to one of the strongest European leagues, A.C. Milan, it seems nothing but appropriate to launch Beckham’s latest collaborative collection with adidas Originals by Originals (ObyO) line designed by UNDFTD’s James Bond in Milan. The Spring/Summer 2010 collection launch was hosted at Milan’s retail/gallery/cafe creative space, 10 Corso Como. The store front was glowing with the adidas Originals logo on the night of the launch, and both Bond and Beckham made due appearances at the launch.

Aside from the official availability of the latest adidas ObyO David Beckham designed by James Bond collection, the night also marked the preview of the Fall/Winter 2010 collection. Check out photos and recap the event and anticipate the next launch. By the looks of it, wherever David Beckham is playing, it seems like that’s where the next collection launch would be.

Models & Freshness: GQ UK X Victoria’s Secret Models - “Where The Wild Things Are” Fashion Shoot








We keep 'em, folkers..

There are a few things UK has over everyone else– for instance, fish n’ chips, Vivenne Westwood, Pink Floyd and the Beatles. However, the stateside does have one thing that makes the rest of the world envious– Victoria’s Secret models. Before one disagrees, GQ UK’s latest fashion shoot would dispel any doubts. Inspired by Where The Wild Things Are, GQ UK enlisted runway models that even your regular boy next door would appreciate (while they may not be fans of Gemma Ward).

Photographed by Gavin Bond, the Victoria Secret models, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Shannan Click, Elyse Taylor, Lindsay Ellingson and Candice Swanepoel, goes wild with Victoria’s Secret gear and fun props including antlers, rifles, and on the tamer side, kittens and lollipop. Sure men don’t usual shop for bright neon yellow lingerie studded with diamante, but we are quite certain the gentlemen of UK aren't complainin'. And this certainly quite makes up for the Victoria’s Secret annual fashion show being a stateside affair.

GEAH!!
