TIRON"THROWING MY MONEY"

*Me too.

MICHAEL LAU 10 GARDENER x NIKE SB STEFAN JANOSKI

As part of Michael Lau 10 Gardener exhibition, these Nike SB Stefan Janoski sneakers were designed to match his wooden character’s that we presented the other day. The wood grain on these are perfect, definitely one of the top shoes of 2009 in my opinion. Release date is set for October 3rd.

FLIPSIDE WALLET

.
The Flipside Wallet($40) looks more like a 'case'. Constructed from high strength polymers and black aluminum(all of which are recyclable), and featuing the new locking mechanism design that locks itself shut and flips itself open. It is 5/8-inch thick. "Cash, cards and pictures are securely contained and organized within a compact wallet." But where do I put my coins? Available in three colors: Stealth, Avalanche, and Orange Crush.

NEW SEGMENT..(NASTIEST SHIT ON THE PLANET)

*Self explanatory...

WILD TOUR STORIES...

LOOPWHEELER x BEAMS PLUS 10TH ANNI. VEST

Loopwheeler and Beams Plus continue their ongoing collaborative effort with a couple of new pieces for Beams 10th Anniversary. Above you see a vest done in heavyweight heather grey fleece. An interesting option, as this cut is usually reserved for down filled garments. Features a couple of 10 Anniversary patches on the chest. Sweatpants in a chino-like silhouette were also produced and come in grey, black, or navy with a Loopwheeler x Beams Plus logo screened on the back pocket. Look out for a release later this year.
