We've just got our first drop of Supra footwear and they're looking sharp. Supra claims they 'insist on creating new and original classics for people who demand detail and quality.'  Although still a young label Supra has definitely made their mark with their unique, stylish designs and have already been endorsed by several big names in skating and hip hop. Their biggest celebrity thumbs up so far has been Jay Z rocking a pair at President Obamas inaugaration concert.

Supra's are extremely hard wearing as well as looking the business as they were designed with skaters in mind as well as those who just like to look good. They have a vulcunized gum rubber outsole, extra heel support in the insole and a midsole which is filled with something they call 'Suprafoam' for an extra comfy ride. These shoes feel good on your feet with a look which is instantly classic.

We've got three of the most popular silhouettes in this first batch (The Chad Muska Signature Skytop, The Vaider and The Skytop II) which gives you a choice of mid, hi top, and hi hi top...as you can see below:

First up is the Muska Skytop, which has been made in collaboration with the notorious bad boy skater Chad Muska. These ones have got crocodile skin like details and have a high fashion look to them as well as being skater wear:  

Next up is the Supra Vaider in Tuf Black. The 'TUF' in the name refers to the 'SupraTUF' method of design and manufacture. Specially designed for skaters these shoes are made from the most abrasion/weather resistant materials and have been tested by several pro skaters for their durability. These kicks are TUF!

 

I like these because they have a strong street feel to them but also have an element of smartness about them. Next up is the Supra SkyTop II which have taken the concept of the high top sneaker to another level. Really like the red detailing against the black and white on these ones...

Check them out in more detail and get yourself a pair in our new Supra section.

 

 

Adidas Originals, with their decades of experience, are responsible for some of the most iconic footwear ever produced and have long been one of the most influential brands in streetwear.

One of these iconic silhouettes is the Adidas Originals Superstar, with it's hardwearing shell toe and contrasting three stripes down both sides of the uppers. These kicks are tough and keep their shape through whatever trauma you decide to put them through.

We've just got two new pairs of Superstar 2's in and they look as dope as Superstars always do. The Superstar 2 CQ in black and bluebird (the blue tone favoured throughout Adidas Originals products) are true eye poppers with their black uppers, white outsole and contrasting laces with medallion. The White and Cardinal Superstar 2's stick with a more traditional look and really show of the classic shape of this shoe.

We've also got a new pair of Forum's in black and white in stock. This is another world renowned silhouette which was first released in the early eighties as a basketball shoe and has since been adopted as streetwear. These kicks are comfy and extremely durable as well as sporting a classic hip hop look.

Last up is a new colourway of the Adidas Originals Ciero. These are called 'Blue Beauties' and you can see why. The suede uppers look wicked in this shade of blue. Check them out...

The Superstars 2 CQ's:

Here's the Superstar 2's in White and Cardinal:

Here's those forums. A true classic:

These are the Ciero Blue Beauties:

 

We've got new kicks coming in all the time so keep your eye on the blogs for the freshest stuff.

 

We've just got the first drop for Autumn/Winter from LRG and it's looking up to their usual standard. They've stuck with their now infamous branding with simple, strong designs and have come up with some wicked results. We've got a load of dope new tees in as well as some hoodys and jackets that are looking the business. Here's a few that I thought were the best of a good bunch...

First up is this 'Deputy Delight' tee. The name is clearly a play on the American cliche of cops eating donuts and the design is a glazed donut effect put onto the LRG logo. There's something really Homer Simpson about this print. Tasty...
 

This is the 'Tree Foundation' tee. LRG have gone back to their roots with this one, using their renowned nature based branding and colour schemes but putting a little twist on their standard tree logo. This is the sort of stuff that made LRG big and it still works and looks really strong:

 

Here's the track jacket to go with it. This is made from a really soft cotton and fits so nicely. Really nice detailing on this jacket. Just enough branding but not clustered...

The skateboarding giraffe is to me one of the most inspired LRG logos. It's a little piece of genius.

On this 'Thrash Master' tee they've combined their gee raaf with an LRG logo that's an homage to the world famous Thrasher skate magazine. Such a simple idea that works so well and at £19.99 this tee is a f'ing steal...
 

 

Here's one the wicked hoodys featured in this drop: The LRG Keep on Pushing Hoody. Again LRG come with the subtle branding and high quality material. This will keep you feeling snug through those damn cold months while looking at your best in your new striped number. We've also got it in a black and grey colourway...
 

 

 

My favourite hoody of this drop is this one: The LRG Core Collection Sweater hoody. With it's button up collar, breathable cotton and embroidered logo on the chest this hoody is pure class. It hangs so well when you're wearing it too. We've also got it in black.

If you fancy a bit more colour in your winter wardrobe then there's this 'Come Together' hoody. The print and name suggest all sorts of risky goings ons and the colours go with that caribbean flavour that LRG often go with. We've also got a white tee of this print if you like it but don't want a hoody. This pic is the back of the hoody...

Check out the rest of his drop and other LRG goodies in our LRG section....

 

 

 

Here's a word or two about the new The Hundreds drop we've just got in. There's all kinds of tees, crewnecks, hoodies,New Era caps and Snapbacks dropping from the people that brought you that cheeky fella Adam Bomb and they're looking up to scratch.

In the words of Bobby Hundreds (co founder and creative director of The Hundreds): "[The fall collection] not only reflects our maturity as a 7-year-old niche brand and business, but all that we have learned, experienced, and fine-tuned when it comes to bringing you the finest apparel from a global streetwear name." Big talk but can they deliver the goods. Let's have a gander...

The Hundreds never let us down when it comes to striking tee prints and here's a taste of what's on offer:

First up is the Hugo T Shirt. Featuring Adam Bomb drawn in a style which is an obvious homage to the Simpsons. The font used is also straight from that most famous of cartoon sitcom's and the mixture of Simpsons and Adam works really well I think. The phrase 'drawing lines' features on several pieces in this collection.

 

I really like how the style of the graphics varies so much through The Hundreds collections. For example The Hugo tee compared to this next one, The Ship tee. Designed by artist Jonny Samson this pirate themed number is going to be a hit...

 

Going back to a more recognizable The Hundreds style is this Swoop T Shirt. Featuring a Letterman College style font and a pissed off/determined Adam Bomb swooping down at ya.

 

They've also done a snapback with this design on. Very nice:

 

Adam Bomb is one of the most original, strong logos in streetwear if you ask me and he is always the backbone of any The Hundreds collections. This next tee called the Simple t-shirt uses him on his own and shows Adam is all you need to make a bangin tee.

As it's the Autumn collection you're going to be looking for something to keep you warm when that coldness starts to draw in. Here's The Hundreds Johnny crew to do just that. The print is based on the logo of a well loved and now demolished diner in California (with a bomb added of course). This stone washed crewneck with it's water based one tone print has a cool vintage feel to it.

 

The Hundreds are renowned for the quality and good look of their flannel shirts and they've come through with some nice ones this season. They seem to have simplified the plaid patterns to keep them modern but with an old school west coast feel. This one is called Alpha Flannel shirt:

This next one is my favourite New Era cap to come out of this collection. With it's one tone over sized Adam embroidered around the side of the hat this Side Adam New Era is going to seen on bonces all across the map. That's just how Adam rolls...

The Hundreds have produced some the best Snapback caps in the last few years and they haven't disappointed this time round. This Player snapback is heavily influenced by American sports branding (like the hugely popular Raidurrs and Team Two snapbacks last season) with a nice big Adam on the side:

 

Here's a nice simple design on the Town snapback that has the 'drawing lines' tag in it again. Those The Hundreds boys can sure make a good hat...

 

That's all folks! As I said earlier this gear and more brand new The Hundreds pieces will be available on our site and in the shop from next week.

 

We've just begun stocking the top UK brand Trainerspotter and as a taster we've got some top drawer crewnecks to show you.

Trainerspotter began as a side project between two friends, Russell Gater and Daniel Savory, and quickly developed into a real brand and business as demand for the product grew not just in the UK but Worldwide. It's an independent brand that seems to produce a steady supply of good products.
We've got a selection of their hottest tees coming very soon, so keep your eye on our Trainerspotter section but in the meanwhile....

First up is the Trainerspotter Grenade crew. Trainerspotter themselves describe it as what would be produced if a grenade went off in Andy Warhols Factory and you can definitely see the pop art influence on this print with the bright colours and sharp lines. I like the inclusion of Trainspotters palm tree logo into the design...

We're also getting this print on a white tee with a different colourway. Next up is the Felix crewneck featuring what looks like a metamorphosis between mickey mouse and felix the cat chasing after/throwing a stick of Trainerspotter dynamite. I really like the fact it's mainly monotone but for the dash of colour on the dynamite fuse...
 

 

All the crews I'm showing today feature a small palm tree logo embroidered onto the right hand sleeve. A nice touch...
 

 

This next one is called the Mortimer crewneck. I don't know where Mortimer is from but he's reminiscent of the old cartoon characters this collection and indeed alot of Trainerspotters stuff is based on. I like the type used on this print. That blocky italic lettering seems to be hot at the moment....

Again I like the simple colourway on this one. This next one, the Dedstok crew, is the strongest graphically. Clearly it's inspired by old fashioned horror comics and has been one of Trainerspotter's most popular prints on crews and tees...

Last but definitely not least is the Son of a Gun crew. The print with it's mirrored revolvers that make the image of an animal skull works so well. The white on navy is always a colourway that works, like the Ichiban Old School crew...

That's all folks. Remember to check in later in the week to see the wicked Trainerspotter tees we've got coming our way.
