Dopeness: London Undercover - Pinstripe Umbrella







Official..

The dapper gentleman doesn’t let a bit of dreary weather get in his way of looking fresh and together, that’s where London Undercover comes into the picture keeping you dry with their latest Pinstripe Umbrella. This full-size umbrella features a black, waterproof textured exterior with a grey pinstripe overlay affixed to a single piece of Polished Maple Wood finished with a curved handle. 

Underneath, London Undercover adds a hit of contrast with a bright orange lining held in place by an industrial, heavy-duty framework that is built to last with a metal runner. Crafted in France, this piece is every bit as stylish as it is functional. Buy it now at Mr Porter’s online shop.

Skate Life: HUF’s #HUFNWTOUR Skate Video


Folkers..

The HUF skate team headed out to the Pacific Northwest this past summer on a trip that took several notable riders from San Francisco through Seattle – with several other stops along the way. 
Featuring the likes of Keith Hufnagel, Brad Cromer, Dan Plunkett, Josh Matthews and Matt Gottwig – plus special guest appearances by Johan Stuckey, Mark Gutterman and Shaun Baptista – the video gets off to a comedic beginning and surely keeps the viewer enamored for the entire 6-minutes. For fans of both skate action and the camaraderie a road trip provides, this clip is certainly not-to-be-missed.

Kicks Flow: Reebok Classic Leather 30th Anniversary “Denim”



Tough..

Originally introduced in 1983, the Reebok Classic Leather has established itself as the brand’s go-to silhouette over the past three decades as its understated look gives it a casual appeal unlike many of the technical running footwear designs that immediately followed its release. 
Celebrating the Classic Leather’s rich heritage and the 30th anniversary of its introduction, Reebok has created a denim edition of the runner. A part of the upcoming “Always Classics” collection, the kicks see a premium denim upper with contrast stitching, a white cushioned midsole, metal eyelets, and leather hits to the tongue branding tab and lace jewel. The 30th anniversary denim take on the Reebok Classic Leather is due out for Spring/Summer 2013.

Top Shelf: Mercedes-Benz C63 Coupe - Black Edition Tuned (by VÄTH)








YESSUR!
To be fair, the new Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe Black Edition is nothing but a slow car. It is the fastest in the C63 series, but VÄTH suspected some buyers to be dissatisfied with the factory 510hp power output. The German tuning house optimized the performance even more by adding on aftermarket supercharger, high flow custom exhaust system, and wired in a newly mapped computer. 

As a result, this modified version pumps out 746hp with a top speed of 218mph and a quarter mile time of 3.6 seconds. VÄTH also recommends upgrading its suspension and putting on larger 20-inch wheels to accommodate for the power increase.
