45 AUDIO STATION

Designed for a club owner a while ago, the “45 Audio Station” by Chicago-based designer Christian Castro is a DJ table with an integrated vinyl case to rock the dance floor. The name “45″ has a dual meaning derived from the 45 record speed and the design’s resemblance to a handgun. The audio station is made of epoxy, concrete and steel, materials dictated by the design and a turntable’s operational requirement of no movement or vibration. The vertical element of the design is cast concrete connected to the horizontal element, which is made of molded foam. Both the vertical and horizontal elements are coated in glossy resin. The horizontal element is ridged and light, while the vertical element is heavy and immobile. The entire unit is bolted through the club floor.

FAZE-O PREVIEW 2009

Nike Air Hoop Structure

The Nike Air Hoop Structure takes the best of the Nike Air Structure Triax originally released in 1991 and morphs it into a retro basketball shoe of today that still features enough components that can support the modern day basketball player. Designed by Nike Sportswear’s Urban Design Director, Marc Dolce. The Nike Air Hoop Structure’s newest colorway that will be released in the upcoming months is this White, Hot Red, and Black colorway that has a strong resemblance to the original Air Jordan VI in White and Infared.

Converse Moonwalk – Reversed Chuck Taylor All Star

Just when you think you’ve seen all they can do with the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star, we get something like this.  They’re pretty much the exact opposite of all the other Chucks we’ve seen, yet they’re very clearly still Chucks.  The Converse Moonwalk puts everything on the front of most All Stars on the back of these, and vice versa.  It looks like you’ll have to lace these up from behind, but maybe they’re just held together with elastics.  We don’t know that for sure, but do know you can get yours this week from A.R.C.

Givenchy 2010 Spring/Summer Footwear and Accessories

Givenchy offer up a preview of their new collection of footwear and accessories for next year’s Spring/Summer season.

The brand’s accessories range receives some of the same flamboyant treatment although a bit more toned down when it comes to their standout bag designs.

Lanvin 2009 Fall/Winter High Trainer

Evoking memories of Nike SB’s unorthodox Bison colorway from a few years ago, Lanvin releases an interesting high-top offering seen here. Based on one of Lanvin’s more popular profiles, the high-cut shoe boasts a bright toe cap with shades of brown and black. Available now at Aloha Rag.

Absolut Vodka Rock Edition by Natalia Brilli

On Monday we attended the official launch of the new Absolut Vodka Rock Edition launch. Absolut worked with designer Natalia Brilli, who is known for wrapping things in leather. This time she of course wrapped the iconic Absolut bottle in leather and added studs to it as well, giving it a real rock vibe.

For the occasion Absolut organized a massive launch event in Berlin. The free drinks of course helped. Natalia Brillis leather instruments were on display, along with artist guitars and more. For music that evening they had Wolfmother, Smith & Drums and DJ Alex come in.

Romain Kremer for Mykita Spring/Summer 2010 Sunglasses

French designer Romain Kremer  brought his risk taking design aesthetic to the table in a collaborative effort with German eyewear label Mykita. “The ROMAIN frame is cut out of 0.5 mm stainless steel and features metal shutters. The design borrows cues from traditional Inuit eyewear, which was designed solely to provide protection from dazzling sunlight and did not have conventional lenses. The very graphic and square-edged frame is inspired by the collection’s leitmotiv of protection and is reminiscent of war face paint.”  Two colorways will be available this November.

Moncler Gamme Bleu Fall/Winter 2009 Jackets

Moncler continues to impress. Their new Gamme Bleu range with Thom Browne is among the best that has come from them and in our opinion some of the best outerwear this season. The combination of the designers sharp styles and the quality of the brand are a perfect match. Our favorite pieces include the puffy bomber jacket and the puffy camouflage blazer. Several new pieces arrived today at colette.

Today we came across the very impressive portfolio of illustrator Michael Sanderson.
