A handful of press and buyers from around the world were invited to this private event, held last week, and given the opportunity to see the new garments on models. Even though this collection was geared towards men, Daiki Suzuki included one female model in the show to demonstrate its unisex style. Fittingly for the Spring/Summer season, there were plenty of floral patterns, bright color combinations, patterned fabrics, and loose silhouettes.

Nike X158 Shanghai – Opening Exhibition | Event Recap Posted: 29 Jul 2013 09:30 PM PDT After some last minute adjustments, the Nike X158 Shanghai retail concept finally opened its doors over the weekend. Also known as “X158 Nike,” the mixed-use venue promotes both creativity from Nike’s design aspect, along with innovation taken from its technology side. And what better example than the presentation of "NATURE AMPLIFIED: THE ART+SCIENCE OF FIT + FREEDOM," a special exhibit on Nike Free Flyknit-inspired artworks. But aside from the numerous works of art, prototype, and visitors was the impromptu gathering of industry insiders, all in town for the YO'HOOD trade show. CLOT partners Edison Chen and Kevin Poon, along with UNDEFEATED owners Eddie Cruz and James Bond were all in discussion about their respective markets. David Sinatra, scion to the Stussy empire, greeted veteran influencers Paul Mittleman and Russ Karablin of SSUR, while DRx Romanelli‘s Darren Romanelli checked out the tech behind the Nike Free Flyknit. After running countless marketing initiatives non-stop the last few months, Matthew Williams and Heron Preston of #BEEN #TRILL finally had some downtime, while Fraser Cooke (Nike), Kazuki Kuraishi (Heather Grey Wall) and Michael Dupouy (La MJC) swung by to check out the festivities themselves. You can do so too as the Nike X158 Shanghai is now open to the public all seven days of the week.

Nike X158 Retail Concept – Shanghai | China Posted: 29 Jul 2013 08:00 PM PDT An important cornerstone in Nike’s “Ignite Shanghai” initiative is to “redress” customers’ retail experiences within all of its flagship stores, something it is hoping to achieve in the new Nike X158 Retail Concept. A mix-use space much like the former Nike TPE 6453 in Taipei City, the just opened Nike X158 is on the busy throughway of Xinle Lu (or Xinle Road) and not far from the headquarters of Nike China. Once known as the French Concession, which functioned much like a French colony within the city of Shanghai, the neighborhood is now famous for its European style mansions, cathedrals, and tree-lined avenues. It was also this curious juxtaposition of cultures both new and old, East and West, tradition and creativity, that makes the Nike X168 such an integral part of “Ignite Shanghai” With the Nike Free Flyknit-inspired “NATURE AMPLIFIED: THE ART+SCIENCE OF FIT + FREEDOM” art exhibition currently on display, the Nike X158 is open to the public now all seven days of the week.

hanon x Reebok CL Aberdeen Leopards Posted: 29 Jul 2013 06:00 PM PDT Under the brand’s Certified Network program, Reebok joins forces with hanon to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Reebok Classic Leather running shoe.

New Era – Andy Warhol Collection Posted: 29 Jul 2013 05:30 PM PDT Initially previewed here earlier this month, the Andy Warhol Collection from New Era is now available stateside, featuring the brand’s iconic 59FIFTY fitted and 9FIFTY snapback. Individuality and creativity were the hallmark of Warhol’s artistry — two qualities New Era holds dear — so this joint venture makes eminent sense, the individual styles finished with a camo-inspired design infused with a wildly electric color palette in signature Warhol style. The multi-colored 59FIFTY is finished with signature Andy Warhol graphic under the visor, while the 9FIFTY snapback borrows sports team iconography with raised Andy Warhol embroidery across the crown. Check out detailed looks below, and find the collection in stock now at New Era retailers and online.

The Kennedy Chronicles: The Golden Age of MTV Through Rose-Colored Glasses Posted: 29 Jul 2013 05:00 PM PDT YouTube effectively put a stop to fans clamoring for the return of music videos to MTV’s daily programming, but one of the cable channel’s most popular VJs isn’t ready to completely put to rest that bygone era. A Republican virgin who went by the name Kennedy, the twentysomething became an unofficial avatar for Generation X, her stint as an MTV VJ from 1992 – 1997 placing her at the cynosure of  alternative culture. She’s penned a memoir from those salad days, dubbed the The Kennedy Chronicles: The Golden Age of MTV Through Rose-Colored Glasses and published from Thomas Dunne Books. Kennedy relives a time when Nirvana altered the musical landscape while the Rock the Vote campaign injected a youth movement to the Clinton-led Democratic revolution in Washington. Get the book now from Amazon and other fine book sellers.
