Nike Woven Footscape - 'Leopard'

Even though the Footscape model needs nothing extra to make it stand out from the crowd, Nike has decided to go ham and throw a full out leopard print on it this Spring...





The leopard print is done in horse hair (à la the classic Hideout Footscapes), and features a FreeMotion sole. Should be releasing in the next few weeks.


NEED!

Edwin Denim x Liberty London

Edwin has gotten together with Liberty London for a nicely detailed pair of their ED-55 cut, 14oz raw selvedge Japanese denim...







The ED-55 cut is a regular fit with a tapered leg, which is hard to come by but a great look, especially in raw indigo. Added to the pair is a signature floral print from Liberty that can be seen on many small details on the interior of the jean. I really with the inside of the legs was lined with the print also, because that would allow an absolutely amazing cuff, but with such a traditional brand like Edwin, that's probably a little too much flare.

Limited to 100 pairs, and available soon through Liberty.

Theophilus London - Century Girl | Video

Theophilus just released this video for an unreleased track, 'Century Girl', which features the production and vocals of Devonte Hynes...

Apparently this is NOT off of Mr. London's album that's set for June, but it does have a really nice smooth summer feel to it.

William Yan x We Are Not Pilgrims - A Look into the Perfecto Brand by Schott NYC | Video

The homie William Yan recently got together with We Are Not Pilgrims to produce this quick look into the Perfecto brand by Schott NYC. We got to see a nice screening of it last week, and now you can check it right here...

Will handled the art direction and the interview, while We Are Not Pilgrims took care of the actual filming and editing portion. Overall a really dope view into how the brand is run and what their vision on style and quality is. (and some of those jackets are just so badass!)

As always, you should be checking out WilliamYan.com for the latest in NYC street style, events, and coolness. And also peep WeAreNotPilgrims.com, who are some really cool guys that know their shit when it comes to film and have a pretty dope documentary series, "The Gatekeepers", among other projects on their site.

Nike Lunar Woven Chukka s/s '11

For the Spring, Nike will be donning us with more woven goodness as they're releasing two pairs of über minimal Lunar Woven Chukkas...







I'm still grieving over the fact that they didn't have my size last year when the ridiculously sexy multi-check Woven Chukkas came out, so even though these lack the amazing colors, they still tickle my fancy.

Coming in both grey and all white, look for them soon, and as per usually with shoes of this sort, they primarily drop in Asia so keep a keen eye if you're elsewhere.

Simply Complicated - Spring '11 Tees

Been a minute since we've had some new stuff from Simply Complicated on here, but now with a Spring release we get some new graphic tees from SC...





The SC logo tee is always a winner, I'm SURE the Dilla tee is the most popular of the season (so clean), and the phone tee is already being worn by the trillest, like Bun B. All of the tees come in alternate colorway which you can check and buy straight from their online shop.

'Window World' by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel | Video

Karl Lagerfeld recently released this "short film" (aka video lookbook) that shows off the new season of Chanel and presents a super minimal feel with some great ambient music to accompany...

Karl Lagerfeld is one of those creatives that you either consider a genius or you just don't see the big deal... and well I think the man is pretty brilliant. This reminds me of the video he did for s/s 2010 which I was obsessed with for the simplicity as well.
