KanyeWest.com | The Launch
Over the course of the last few years the debate has continued as to whether or not Kanye was directly involved with the tastemaking opinions that appeared on the site. Complex even went as far as putting together a feature "Cracking the Case". Only time will tell I guess.

Goodfoot | End of an Era
"To our valued customers and vendors,
It’s been our great pleasure to bring you some of the most exciting products and events the sneaker market has had to offer over the last 10 years of business. Over time we’ve seen many faces pass through our doors, and made great friends along the way. We broke ground for Canada’s retail landscape, and paved the way for those that followed. Yet, nothing lasts forever and it has come time to close.
We’ve seen our market change significantly over the last few years. And, as it has changed direction, so too have we. Thus the decision to close Goodfoot and shift our focus onto new opportunities has been made. There are many exciting projects to come in our future, and we hope that everyone who supported us at Goodfoot will continue to support us in the growth and evolution of our exciting endeavors to come.
We’d like to officially take this time to thank you for supporting Goodfoot. We’ll always remember the relationships that were built, and the unbelievable energy and loyalty our customers brought to this unique shop.
Thank you,
The Goodfoot Team
PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENTS!"
Bentley | Continental Supersports Convertible
The new Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible is set to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show next month. It has gained the title of the most powerful drop-top Bentley yet and the quickest four-seat convertible in the world which will inevitable speed up male pattern baldness.
Production is slated for start of Autumn.
S/Double | Online Store March Launch
Shawn Stussy's S/Double will be launching their online store platform next month. No specific date has been announced and we really haven't had a good look at what to expect from the founder of one of the most iconic brands in street culture. We have been fortunate enough to see a few footwear packs as well as some basic tees and denim. It is expected we will also see a small range of basic fashion and accessory pieces. From what we have seen we would imagine that the collection will focus on the basics with minimal design and focus on the small detailings. “This is one of those things that’s about seeing if it can be done and having a good feel to it… I am just making pretty basic stuff and I want the things I make to be familiar because I haven’t changed”. - Stussy (via. S/Double) |

SeaVees | 7 Eye Trail Boot
Inspired by the VIII Olympic Winter Games in Squaw Valley, California the 7 Eye Trail Boot of the SeaVees footwear collection is a commentary on California culture in the 1960s...
Today's Useless But Impressive Lesson | Logorama by H5
This little gem premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in the short film category and has since gone on to be nominated at this years Oscar as Best Animated Short. They piece was written and directed by design team H5 which is made up by François Alaux and Herve de Crecy . I think I also read that there are roughly 2,500 corporate identities that appear over the course of the 16 minutes. And for the record there is nothing useless about this video.
"Logorama presents us with an over-marketed world built only from logos and real trademarks that are destroyed by a series of natural disasters (beginning with a hurricane, cyclone, tidal wave...). logotypes are used to describe an alarming universe (similar to the one that we are living in) with all the graphic signs that accompany us everyday in our lives. this over-organized universe is violently transformed by the cataclysm becoming fantastic and absurd. it shows the victory of the creative against the rational, where nature and human fantasy triumph.'

Diversitile | Custom "Walking On Water" Nike Blazers
We have spent a good portion of the last 8 months recruiting talent for a custom footwear project we have on the go with Vans that is set to take place this coming year. We were rounding out our roster in November when we caught the glimpse of a "Walking On Water" themed Nike Dunk Low from artist and custom clothing designer Diversitile. Out of the 30 artists we have managed to bring aboard, the work of Diversitile has really stood out. And when we saw version 2.0 it only confirmed our excitement to see how his work will translate onto a Vans White Canvas Chukka. The "Walking On Water" custom utilizes a blazer base with a semi-clear blue mid sole. The shoe debuted at Clash of the Customizers gallery in Los Angeles this past December. This particular 1 of 1 is a 9.5 and currently available but we would imagine they won't last too long. Check them out here. |
Monday Morning Playlist: Jon Contino
This weeks installment of the Monday Morning Playlist features Jon Contino. A graphic designer at heart, Jon co-founded boutique design studio Onetwentysix with good friend Matt Gorton. The design duo more recently expanded into the world of men's apparel with the launch of CXXVI this past fall. The studio and brand focuses on combining old world aesthetics with the forward thinking of a great metropolis. Perusing Jon's portfolio one cannot help but be mesmerized by his ability to create stunning custom typography. In this day and age, where many designers focus on the power of technology, it is refreshing to see graphic design transcend the computer. His typography has been sought after by the likes of Franco Shade, Johnny Cupcakes, Casualty Killers and the Brooklyn Circus with Letter Cult recently recognizing Jon's work as one of the Top 10 designs of 2009. So sharpen that HB, grab a fresh stake of paper and enjoy today's Monday Morning Playlist. |

E*TRADE | Super Bowl XLIV Commercials (2010)
It seems every year that the best Super Bowl commercials come courtesy of E*Trade. This year was no exception. The E*Trade baby has become a repeated hit thanks to the creative team over at the Grey New York agency. Basically they filmed the baby sitting in a highchair before a green screen making expressions, mostly in response to his mother. She sat in an adjacent room for filming and was seen by the baby on a monitor. Added later digitally: the mouth movements of the 5-year old actor, the voice of a 30 year old.

Monday Morning Playlist: Our Favorites of 2009
We've been meaning to put together our favorite Monday Morning Playlist tracks into a little compilation for a while now. Though it is already February we thought we would drop the mix of the classic rock, dance and hip-hop that made our Monday's a little more bearable this past year. We were very fortunate this year to meet and chat with a lot of creative individuals who took them time to give us their two cents on the music that influences their day to day. Thanks to everyone who took the time out of their busy schedules. Monday we will be dropping our first Playlist of 2010. Check it out. |

3sixteen | Spring/Summer 2010 Lookbook
Stussy Deluxe x Dr. Martens | The Hambleton
"After a very successful partnership with the Chukka boot, Dr Martens and Stussy Deluxe continue their collaborative partnership with a canvas shoe for Spring/Summer 2010, The Hambleton. Both brands have deep roots in street culture and command respect for their independent, grassroots heritage. Embracing the craftsmanship of Dr. Martens and the laid-back aesthetic of Stussy and California, this fusion has produced what is sure to become an iconic canvas shoe.
The Hambleton is inspired by sport shoes that have so long been the uniform for the youth of California and the famous European summer lightweight shoe, the espadrille a two eye moccasin toe footwear style that is sure to be a staple for the Spring. From a styling perspective, the Hambleton has a clean and sleek look with its bound apron and collar. The Hambleton will carry a Stussy Deluxe woven logo on the tongue and the classic SS Stussy logo is embossed on the rear heel counter. Each style will be tastefully finished with the traditional Dr. Martens woven loop in tonal colors to match the use of canvas.
The product has been built upon a new EVA wedge sole and a strip of Stussy’s signature purple runs along the top of the sidewall as a feature to offer a truly refreshing take on this product.
The Dr Martens x Stussy Deluxe Hambleton is available in three color ways – Navy, Black, and Ecru with two options of laces, tonal or white.
The collection will be available at select Dr Martens retailers and Stussy chapter stores worldwide on March 2010."

Supra Footwear | LOST Collaboration
"The theme around the project was centered on the program “Expose” – a fictional program that appears numerous times throughout the LOST series as a show-wihin-the-show. In true LOST tradition, the shoes are covered in clues and references taken from the episode in which Expose first appears (the 14th episode of the third season – hence the 17 pairs releasing today). From the “Razzle Dazzle” on the heel to the “paralyzing” insole, fans of the series will be sure to understand the meaning of all the subtle hints included in the shoe’s construction."
Cheap Monday | Simon Anorak M-65
Though not your typical M-65, the Simon Anorak Jacket is another glowing example of how Cheap Monday cannot seem to do any wrong. The slimmer fitting symmetrical jacket features zip closure and 4 flap pockets with snap closures. The jacket also features a drawstring hood and bottom. The jacket is 100% cotton with poly lining and will only set you back $115. Cheap Monday was founded in 2000 by Örjan Andersson and Adam Friberg, originally as a second-hand clothing store, in a suburb of Stockholm. Today Cheap Monday spans the globe from Austrailia to North America appearing in just about every store from Barney's to Urban Outfitters.
