Nike has created a set of 100 strictly limited luxury Dunks - exclusively for selected Music lovers. This product will not be for sale.

The luxurious Dunks are made of patent leather with details that play with the colors Black, Red and Gold. Special features of the model are the use of 3M ScotchliteTM and a checkered midsole. Another special element of the shoe is the Zoom cushioning that is normally used in Nike SB Dunks.

This special Dunk comes together with a “Be True”-Shirt, a suitcase trolley and a special Dunk Hoody and will be given only to one hundred carefully selected guests on the occasion of the MTV Music Awards in Munich that are taking place this week. The personal hand over will take place at Nike’s Dunk Studio – a temporary studio space located in Munich’s Glockenbach neighbourhood.

The studio showcases the universe of this sneaker Icon from its first days to contemporary executions such as selected styles of the Nike Sport Culture Spring 08 Collection.

The two most authentic and stylistic progressive companies in youth culture have come together again to collaborate on a project, exclusively for Europe and Japan. Stussy has shaped and paved the way for legions of fans, other brands and an entire culture through their original, sophisticated and authentic designs and ethics. Levi’s®, the leading and most credible denim company has over centuries influenced generations of rebels, style leaders and outsiders to, in turn, shape the way we understand and wear and perceive denims today. It is only natural that these two pioneers would come together to create a truly representative and extraordinary project.

The project encompasses two denims, a jacket and a tee shirt which are to be released in November 2007. The products will only be available in strict limited numbers to the Levi’s® Flagship stores across Europe as well as selected Stussy stores across Europe and Japan. The denims are based on the iconic 1967 505 Slim Fit and come two different washes, one being a rigid raw denim and a “worn” wash. The jean is a model of sophistication and purity, harnessing the premium qualities of the selvedge indigo denim. The slim and slightly tapered shape is new, though it has echoes in the past.

The jacket is based on the original Levi’s® 705xx Type 1 Jacket Standard Fit in a rigid finish with a modern twist in terms of design to it. Details include the print of the Stussy logo within the interior back of the jacket as well as on the small of the back.

The tee is a reworking of one of Stussy’s classics- combining the essence of Stussy’s subversive humour with a touch of denim reference and adding the original Levi’s® logo.

The denim’s will retail at 250€, the jacket will also be retailed at the same price. The tee shirt will be sold for 70€. This collaborative project will be released in November 2007 and will only be available in very limited quantities.

A little while ago we presented you the Andrei Molodkin x Burton t-shirts, that as usual featured the iconic skull of the artist in his very own iconic style. Burton took the collaboration further this season and also slapped the design onto a snowboard. Here you see the original colorway, but the board also comes in several other colors, including green and brown. If you want a hot board this season, this is certainly one of the nicest out there.

It was about time that Eastpack did something a bit more special. Known for their quality, but simple backpacks the brand has been a classic for many years. One could never go wrong with an Eastpack backpack, on the other hand you would for sure not stick out and be one of many to carry it.

Now the traditional luggage brand has gotten together with high end fashion designer Raf Simons on a collaboration collection, to be released Spring/Summer 2008. We saw a few pieces at the Bread & Butter fair this past summer and now they present the entire line-up. Interesting materials, cuts and colors make up the collection. Once can hardly recognize Eastpack, but the collection is definitely very interesting and something to look out for. It consists of bags and backpacks in all sizes, so anyone should find a favorite in there.

After a live gig at the Newburgh Street Shop of Fred Perry, in September 2005, Matt the lead singer of The Dead 60s, asked if they had ever produced a tartan reversed Harrington. He had been searching for one for ages. Fred Perry did not think at the time it was a good idea, because the Harrington was worn reverse side out in the Punk Era.
Then the project begun with Matt and the rest of the band involved for every detail of the final garments. Fred Perry will be releasing 500 of the Red Stuart Tartan and Monochrome Cornish Tartan Harrington worldwide very soon. All jackets are individually numbered and feature a The Dead 60s neck label.

If you want to be among the first to own one of those collectors pieces, you can now sign up on the Fred Perry website here.
