The collection is expected to drop this fall, so keep your eyes open! You can be sure that heads turn when you wear the Andy Warhol x Burton collection and not only the heads of art lovers.

Indie street label Young Lovers has just launched its latest range for 2007, not to mention a brand new Web site. These looks are bold and shockingly graphic, but also strangely tasty (we happen to love diamonds in our hamburgers, but it’s an acquired taste). These designers are ready to “rock some eye sockets,” as they cleverly put it. We’re happily spreading the word.

This year is an exciting year for sneakers and sneaker enthusiasts. The Nike AF1 turned 25 ! And here we are in 2007 celebrating an icon of the women’s sneaker game as well: The Freestyle Hi by Reebok.

To celebrate the event Reebok commissioned a series of special editions of the Freestyle Hi. Feast your eyes on the very exclusive collaboration between Rolland Berry X Basquiat (our favorite of the bunch).

Here a brief bio of the sneaker so you get an idea:

The Freestyle Hi was made famous in the 80’s when it became the quintessential fitness footwear of the Aerobics crazed era, slouchy socks,tights, unitards and leotards, you get the picture.. The Freestyle which also exists in a low top version made of Reebok a pioneer and a leader in the athletic/lifestyle footwear for Women.

Since we all know that fashion is a cycle…. girls started to look for Hi top sneakers that were original and not as bulky as some men’s styles and there they were their moms 80’s kicks !! The Trensetters of this world gave the “Freestyle Hi “a new life you can spot them on the feet of Williamsburg Hipsters, Flatbush and Harlem round the way gals as well as Euro pop stars (M.I.A) who would have thought….

Shortly after the collaboration of Visvim with Kaws on the Zahra slip-on, they now present a new collaboration on the same shoe with Sophnet. This one is kept rather simple and features premium black leather and perforated pattern on the toe box. It kind of mixes a traditional “Budapest” leather shoe with a slip-on, which is an interesting combination.
For those of you that have not heard of Visvim before, they are one of the coming stars in the fashion business from Japan. Especially their shoe line has attracted lots of attention to date. Keep an eye on them.
