Kanye West x Billy Plympton "Through The Wire" Book


OK. I'm not gonna lie. When I first starting reading about this I was like "Kanye is putting out ANOTHER book!!?" but then i went on to read that the book is actually based on 12 of his songs and meticulously illustrated by Academy Award winning illustrator Billy Plympton.
Through the Wire is a graphic memoir that illustrates Kanye's story, from his decision to drop out of college to pursue his dreams in music, through his days spent folding chinos at the Gap while struggling at night to make a name as a producer, through the pivotal car accident that eventually set him on the course to stardom and the epiphany of realizing exactly who he had become.
Through The Wire will be available on November 9th but Amazon is currently taking pre-orders.

John Coltrane x Supreme


John Coltrane is a giant in the history of American music. He was a pioneer in developing a new sound in Jazz music with the use of modes and improvisation, and later was at the forefront of the Free Jazz movement. As a leader Coltrane was astonishingly prolific and recorded almost fifty albums. He also co-collaborated on, and strongly influenced, many other recordings with the legends of his time including Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. As his life and career progressed, Coltrane's music took on an increasingly spiritual dimension, which became integral to his sound. Coltrane has influenced innumerable musicians, and remains one of the most significant tenor saxophonists in Jazz history.

For the coming season Supreme, along with the John Coltrane foundation is proud to present a group of T-shirts honoring this great American icon.

Available in-store and webstore on October 22nd. Available in Japan on October 24th.


All 3 shirts come in additional colors

Hellz Bellz Mens Collection - Hellz


This Fall highlights the introduction of a new men’s capsule collection brought to you by the same creative minds behind Hellz Bellz called simply "Hellz". The strong and progressive graphics have been thoughtfully crafted to reflect the overall theme of this project, entitled: “The Gentleman, The Philosopher, The Pervert, and the Rebel”, the four men who make the world go round. What kind of man are you?
The line mirrors Hellz Bellz' aggressive and subversive perspective of art and popular culture. In addition, this collection is only a preview of future endeavors which will include a full range cut-and-sew program. The line is available at select Hellz retailers. It may be hard for a women's line to cross over into the men's department but by the looks of it they will have a smooth transition.



Bonus: Hellz Bellz version of my 2 favorite shirts in the collection

Reebok Pump x Colette


The Reebok Pump turns 20 this year and Parisian boutique Colette celebrates the 20th Anniversary of the iconic Reebok Pump with their own limited colorway. La MJC participated on the design, utilizing a grey jersey fabric, accented with colette blue and speckled laces. I'm loving how high these are. They are limited to only 30 pairs and will be released on November 20, 2009 only at colette. Very Cool.

GoodWood Jesus Piece


Oddly enough i was with my boy from Format NY yesterday in the diamond district trying to get a jesus piece and then today I come across this gem of an option. The Good Folks down at GoodWoodNYC have come up with the recession option to the gold and diamond jesus piece with one made out of wood. GoodWoodNYC is under new direction, and for its first project they’re cranking out these beaded Jesus Piece pendants. They made this all-black piece as a promo item for Joe La Puma, Associate Editor at Complex Magazine, but they can do colors on request. Available mid-November at Good Wood’s online store.
