Not Cool : Pierre Hardy "Colorama" Sneakers

I haven't done a "Not Cool" post in a while and although I have seen a few things unworthy of sitting at the Cool Table (Jordan 2010) I just REALLY do not like these. Some people say Pierre Hardy shoes look like Lanvin shoes, I disagree. I never really liked the design on this model and although I wear a lot of wild shoes I'm not feeling these. So agree or disagree but these just aren't cool to me. Also they are called the "Colorama"...C'mon son....Pause. They are limited to 500 pairs and are available now at Colette for those of you who disagree with me...which is fine.

Mighty Healthy Online Exclusive Tees

The guys over at Mighty Healthy have re-opened their online shop and they have a few online exclusives that coulght my eye. My favorite one being the NY tee because I'm pretty sure there are a lot of native New Yorkers like myself that share this sentiment about some people. The American Psycho tee is cool too. Check out all of their tee's HERE.

Death of Deadstock by NiceKicks

I read a very interesting article over @Nicekicks and I don't normally post full articles from other blogs but I really found this one interesting. It goes into the reason why the culture of collecting and storing deadstock (never worn) sneakers is dying out. Referencing everythting from older shoes cracking to the recession. The article was a very interesting read that I pretty much agree with since I've tried selling a pair of deadstock kicks only to have to settle for a price lower than I wanted and I have also had to deal with the dreadful cracking of a deadstock pair that I wore for the 1st time. Check out the article HERE. Or head over to Nicekicks.com

EXACTLY how my 2000 Infared Jordan VI's looked the DAY I Un-DS'd them. It was a VERY sad day for me.

Bape x The Beatles

Say what you want about Bape but this collection is CRAZY, especially for all of those Beatles fans out there. The V-Neck sweater, Sgt. Pepper album cover shirt and the one with all 4 Beatles inside the Ape's head are my favorites. Check 'em out. No word on a release date but stay tuned for updates. Very Cool!

Lecia x Hermès M7 Edition Camera

Leica has today announced a very special limited edition of its classic 35mm rangefinder system camera: the Leica M7 Edition Hermès. As the successor to the Leica MP Edition Hermès launched in 2003, this is the second series of cameras created in co-operation with Hermès, the Paris-based company renowned throughout the world for its exclusive products.

The strictly limited Leica M7 Edition Hermès comes in silver chrome with a choice of two striking calfskin leather finishes – orange and étoupe – supplied by Hermès. Just 100 of each colour will be made available, and each individual camera will have a special sequential serial number between 001/200 and 200/200.

To complement the design of the camera, the special Leica M7 Edition Hermès set includes a silver anodised Leica Summilux-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. wide-angle lens, a matching classic round lens hood in silver anodised metal – manufactured specifically for these models – and a Leicavit M rapid winder in silver chrome. A real leather carrying strap, handcrafted by Atelier Hermès to match the colour of each camera, provides the finishing touch. Each set is delivered in a linen-covered, silk-lined box.

The Leica M7 Edition Hermès camera has a number of distinct features compared to the standard Leica M7 model. For example, the top plate is engraved with the Leica name in classic script: the red Leica logo has been omitted to preserve the colour harmony of the leather covering. All control elements of the Leica M7 Edition Hermès have been manufactured exclusively in metal, and the back of the camera is finished in silver chrome. Furthermore, the red colour of the engraved auto and 7 settings on the shutter speed dial has been replaced by the specific shade of the camera’s leather. The technical specifications of the special edition set are otherwise identical to the standard model.

The Leica M7 Edition Hermès will be available in the UK from December 2009 and is priced at an impressive 8500 Pounds (approx. $14,300)
