Patta x Keep Shaheen
Amsterdam's Patta and LA's Keep are teaming up once again, this time on Keeps signature Shaheen model...
Subtle Patta colors in a classic Keep silhouette make this shoe awesome. I usually think that Keeps look way better on women but these I think are really versatile, I would rock em in a heartbeat. The price is a little inflated because of the Patta collaboration though.
Super exclusive, these just came in at eastwestworldwide.
Remember to use the code "SwaggerDap" to save %20!
I think Joan should be all over these...

Silly Thing x Kubrick - 1000% Daft Punk Set
Medicom and Silly Thing have teamed up for a sleek new 1000% Daft Punk toy set...
These are limited to 100 world wide and can be found at select retailers like Silly Thing (HK), colette (Paris), Dover Street Market (London), and Invincible (Taiwan). But these are the 1000% size which reach about 3 feet, so the price tag is rather outrageous, and upwards of $1,500.

Artist Profile - Roadsworth
Montreal artist, Roadsworth has been adding flavor to the roads for years now. And although he has been amid angry governments and mass speculation, he also has gained a great fan following for his amazing public works...
North American Footprint
Full Asphalt Jacket
Asphalt Packaging
Male
Fish Hook
Sunflower
Clearly clever and creative, Roadsworth has been artistically and tastefully vandalizing for the past 8 years in Montreal. The road as his canvas, he has recently been commissioned for works, mostly in Canada, which are slowly bringing him into the accepted modern art world from the dangerously anonymous street art world.
His story is so interesting that there is also documentary on the man now (you can view the trailer here). Also check a recent interview with Format, here.

Raf by Raf - Low-Top Straps
Raf by Raf Simons is sticking to the straps but this time a low top with a slightly different style...
Taking a super classic silhouette and adding some funky straps completely revitalized the shoe and gives it that recognizable Raf Simons aesthetic. Smooth grain leather upper, suede accents and straps, rubber sole.
Available at Oak.
