Silly and serious.

A first look at Chad Muska’s new signature model, the Supra Skytop II. 600 pairs of this limited edition colorway will drop on the 21st at Colette–the rest of us will have to wait for Spring 2010.

Red Wing Shoes Fall 2009

Florsheim X Duckie Brown Fall 2009

A two-for-one Diesel collection developed for nightlife lovers–with hidden graphics and detailing on shirts, sneakers, and denim that glows under blacklights.…but at $120 MSRP, I’d rather just DIY it using an old pair of jeans. A can of fluorescent spraypaint can’t be more than $15 :)

High-tops from KVA’s AW 2009/2010 men’s collection.
I like how the silhouette gets broken up with the blocky straps, like in Julia Hederus X K-Swiss.

Promotional for the release of the limited edition double pack of the original Nike Cortez back in February. Character design by Brian Schmitt & tokyoplastic; animation by tokyoplastic.

The construction process blends traditional craftsmanship and modern technology (i.e. a 3D CAD system is used to cut out the pattern pieces).

Runways lure me in with music and clothes.
Dropped in for day three of SFW last Saturday, on impulse.

This is the first brand I’ve come across to go with with a space theme (yaaah moon boots!) for high-tops. Android Homme was launched in late 2008 and is aimed the market between lower priced and luxury sneakers. Android Homme is like an edgy composite of silhouettes from Cipher, Lanvin, Nike, Creative Recreation, and Supra all rolled into one.

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica a Grande Sonnerie (the most complex watch in the world), Gyrotourbillon, and Reverso Complication a Triptyque.

This is apparently some holy grail of sonnerie watches…in addition to [the Westminster] melody as a chime, the watch features two others, as well as a silent mode. What does this mean? You know those Casio watches that beep at certain intervals? This watch does that same thing, but instead of a beep, you get a little song that is based on tiny hammers and gongs and a ridiculously complex ballet of gears and “magic”. –aBlogtoRead

The three-piece set is presented in a 1.3 ton leather-coated safe with an electronic locking system that has room for 8 more watches…for a grand total of $2.5 million.

It takes a team of skilled craftsmen weeks to wrought a pair of gentlemen’s shoes over at the England-based Edward Green. Methinks I should go to Europe to kidnap a band of artisans. The states are lacking.

Monks:

Originally worn by monks as early as the fifteenth century, these were subsequently adopted as fashion: buckles and the high tongue were often embellished. The modern monk style was introduced in the 1920’s and there are a number of variations.

Boots:

The leather patinas are to die for.

The Cyclops from Mr. Jones Watches tells time “with a relaxed kind of accuracy that offers a counterpoint to our hectic modern lives.” (Vacation watch!)

Soulland Fedora SS 2010 | BAPE Leather Rider Jacket FW 2009

1. Fedora crown with the brim of a baseball cap? Intriguing.
2. BAPE + minimalism? Whoaaaa.

In painting we see this desire from antiquity to the present, continually visualizing some sort of alternative sense of place or being. My paintings toy with this desire to escape the finite… - Brian Cooper
