My favorite News

Every morning I spend my time looking at different websites for the latest news in the fashion world(mostly street wear), and I've decided to post my favorites from each website. Not to much criteria(if I like it, it's coming on here). Also none of my own writing, everything taken 
from each website so if you wanna check out more, go to each website.

Converse Leather Jacket Chuck Taylor All Star

For their 100th anniversary Converse has put a spin on two classics to bring us the "Leather Jacket" as part of their Century Collection. The Chuck Taylor is used as the silhouette for these kicks inspired by old-school leather motor-cycle jackets. The details of these patchwork kicks include black anodized zippers, embossed Converse All-Star logo, two distinctly styled tongues and and waxed covered laces. These slick leather kicks will be available at select global retailers in July.

Usugrow x Vans

Here we're showing you a sneak peek at the collaboration between Vans and famed Japanese artist, Usugrow. Usugrow has worked on many collabos with other companies including Consolidated Skateboards, The Hundreds, Fifty24sf, and Secret Base. The shoes are mainly black with sophisticated details, featuring Usugrow's signature style writing. The collection is set for release in 2009.

Too big to post just a picture, and I mean that in how good it is and how large the article is. The first link is a preview to the season 5 of FALSE, and the second is an interview with the man who created it, Le Messie.

Vans 45LX "Fixed"

Fixed gear biking seems to be all over the place at the moment and now shoe companies also start paying some more attention, developing footwear specifically for fixed gear riders. We present the Vans 45LX "Fixed"

"From any other brand we'd roll our eyes at the inevitability of a cash'in, but when the makeups are as clean as this, they stand alone nicely on the merit of being a decent Summer shoe that bolsters something ever-fresh but disposable with the ballistic nylon, suede on the darker version and the nubuck on the off-white. Reflective material woven into the laces and applied to the old style heel logo offers some low key get yourself seenisms, and it's all very agreeable indeed." Via Crooked Tongues.

Vans presents a solid line-up, good features, while keeping the shoes simple and not making them too technical. Each shoe comes with a matching saddle bag.
