Not to date ourselves or anything, but we really like this necklace of a cassette, made out of recycled records. You can also get a 45 rpm disc — remember those? Be green and retro, all at the same time. Matching earrings available as well but that might be a bit much. From Uncommon Goods.

Talk about crimes against fashion. But seriously, this could come in handy in a dangerous neighborhood.
This Fuzz Crime Scene scarf is acrylic and is almost 5 feet long. No charge for the looks you’ll get. From those crazy kids at Perpetual Kid.

Nike designed this year a Dunk Hi for the Grammy Awards. The Dunk Hi comes with a white/black oestrich and leather upper and a gold glittery swoosh. The contrasting purple laces look good. Overall 1009 Dunk Hi’s have been made. The sneakers have been given out to the Grammy Award winners, but the good news are, that they will also hit retail.

The Nike “Grammy” Dunk Hi will be sold in extremely limited quantities at Fred Segal on Melrose in Los Angeles. They will be the only store to carry them. So far we do not have a specific sales date, but we’ll keep you posted. Via Highsnobiety.

End just got in a limited edition collaboration tee shirt between Maharishi and Andy Warhol. The tee shirt features a famous piece of work of Warhol’s own face made up of bright multi coloured camoflague. Each sleeve signatures Andy Warhol and DPMHI Maharishi. The t-shirt perfectly fuses the camouflage style by Maharishi and the original artwork by Andy Warhol. Previously we have already seen skatedecks by the two. The t-shirt is available in two colorways.

Made in the USA to honor three of the New Balance domestic factories, the Factory Plaid Collection highlights three variations of plaid in celebration of the traditional plaids worn throughout New England in New Balance’s latest footwear collection.

Each of the three Factory Plaid styles uses a different color plaid and features a factory named emblazoned on the lateral tip and screen printed on the insert. The Navy/Black colorway features ‘Lawrence”, the Gold/Black colorway features “Norridgewock” and the Purple/Black colorway features “Skowhegan”. As a compliment to the shoes, each plaid pair comes in a white box with a corresponding plaid swatch on the lid.

Factory Plaid will be available beginning on December 1, 2007 and retail for $150.00.
