Lanvin for H&M

H&M has put out sever viral videos for their upcoming Designer collaboration. None of the videos show the person talking but if you know anything about Alber Elbaz, Creative Director for Lanvin, then all signs point to Lanvin. The 1st video is DEFINITELY Alber dressed in women's clothes and I'm guessing that the 2nd, video may be Lanvin's head designer Lucas Ossendrijver but it sounds like it could be Alber agin with his voice just (electronically) set to a different pitch, just like in the other videos. This would not be the 1st big name that H&M has worked with, if you think back they have worked with Viktor and Rolf, Karl Lagerfeld, and Jimmy Choo in the past. Anyway I am very excited for this collaboration. Check out all of the videos below. Very Cool!

OriginalFake x Medicom Toy Pinocchio & Jiminy Cricket Set *Update*

I'm kinda bummed out about this. Yet another cool Kaws toy that is only coming out in the OrigianalFake store in Japan. Where's the love Kaws!? You live and work out of Brooklyn but we cant get any figurines!? Luckily even though these will release on August 28th for approximately $206 in Japan, the set should be available at select global retailers worldwide. Lets just hope that one of those "select retailers" is right here in New York City.

Kaws x Disney - Pinocchio & Jiminy Cricket Figures

What we have here is hopefully a first look at an upcoming Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket figure from Kaws in collaboration with Disney (and of course Medicom Toy). This was premiered at Kaws recent museum exhibition at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Connecticut. Unfortunately the piece was listed under "Collection of Artist" at the time of the exhibition. Only time will tell if this will ever be put on sale to the public. Either way the toy itself is Very Cool!

UPDATE:

This Kaws toy WILL be released this year (2010) pending no production errors. Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket will come together as a set. I cant wait...Very Cool!

Nike Foamposite One - Metallic Pewter

For all of my Foamposite lovers out there, Nike plans on releasing a Metallic Pewter and Black colorway of their famous Foamposite One (Penny) shoe. This is just a mock up, so the end result may be slightly different but look for some variation of this shoe to be out in Spring 2011. I'll keep you posted with official pics once I get them.

World Cup Fever

I must admit, I am not that big of a football fan, and by football I mean soccer, the most overlooked major sport in the US that is the biggest sport everywhere else. However the World cup is coming up and it seems like many companies that I am familiar with are showing love to the world cup. Maybe the United States is slowly getting ready to accept Soccer as a sport that they actually pay attention to on a large scale. Here are some of the special edition products that different brands have put out specifically for the world cup.

Pearl Nike Air Foamposite Pro 2010 Re-Release

Its been officially confirmed that the Pearl Foamposite Pro is set for a re-release later this year. Although these came out just last year, it was a House of Hoops exclusive release. And even though HOH had somewhere around 700 pairs they went quickly. Luckily this will be more of a general release so all of you who missed out will be able to get a pair this time around. Normally I am not a fan of the big black check on the side of the foamposite but for the Pearls I can make an exception. What do you think about them?

2010 Nike Air Max 90 Infared Re-Release

No matter how many times the Infared Nike Air Max 90 gets released it will always be a favorite for most sneaker enthusiast and will eventually end up selling out quickly. Nike is giving another run at retroing the classic shoe in august 2010. Keep an eye out for these if you were like me and didn't get a chance to get them the last two times they got released.
