| ACU x Nike Lunar Force 1 QS “City Pack – Shanghai” – Officially Unveiled Posted: 12 Aug 2013 08:00 PM PDT After much speculations, Nike China finally revealed the special ACU x Nike Lunar Force 1 QS “City Pack – Shanghai” over the weekend. With less than 50 pairs available and a majority of those given to friends and family, these are certainly the rarest of the Nike Lunar Force 1 QS “City Pack – Shanghai”. Created to celebrate the”old” Luwan District in Shanghai, the elaborate embroidered design in red, along with the initials ACU on black satin upper also honor the neighborhood’s influential boutique ACU. Opened in 2007 by entrepreneur Tom Chung (not Edison Chen, as some have suggested), ACU became the very first sneaker store in China to offer Nike Tier-0 products and other exclusives. In fact, long after ACU closed its doors and its remnants became part of JUICE Shanghai, sneakerheads in China still asked about the possibility of ACU’s reopening. While this particular edition will not satisfy those inquiries, the interests surrounding it are evident enough to the need of established streetwear/sneaker boutiques in China.

| Poler x Nike SB Omar Salazar LR QS Posted: 12 Aug 2013 06:00 PM PDT
Omar Salazar’s signature sneaker for Nike SB has been mostly MIA the past few months, but it appears the mid-top silo is due for a return engagement, featuring a design language steeped in the outdoors courtesy of Poler. The resulting combines Nike’s cutting-edge technologies — including Flwyire and Lunarlon — with a decidedly rugged appearance. An earthy brown tone throughout the suede upper is accented with a camo-print Swoosh that accentuates the wilderness motif, while the vulcanized sole unit in contrast white maintains Nike SB’s skateboarding lineage. Stay tuned for release details on the Poler x Nike SB Omar Salazar LR QS.

EASTPAK mines its late ’80s-era archive for the Miami Nice collection, featuring a tropical palm tree-lined motif straight from 1987. At the time, EASTPAK was the first brand to produce backpacks with bold colors and attention-grabbing all-over prints, a design framework that’s repeated in this new collection. The individual pieces take the form of the Padded Pak’R backpack, fitted with a padded 15-inch laptop sleeve, and the Delegate messenger bag, equipped with an adjustable shoulder strap. Both are crafted from heavy-duty nylon canvas with leather and suede detailing. Find the collection in stock now at select EASTPAK retailers and online.

| Norse Projects – Fall/WInter 2013 Collection | Available Now Posted: 12 Aug 2013 04:30 PM PDT
The fresh collection of Autumn/Winter 2013 apparel from Norse Projects combines the sophistication of an ivy-league student with the practicality of knitted wool sweaters, hard twill jackets, knitted wool beanies, lambswool scarves, thermal pants, button-down shirts, and one hundred percent cotton zip-up hoodies. The brand’s concept of making clothes that are “created to improve life – good for all seasons,” is seen not only in the shape of the pieces, but also in the colorways and textiles. Come late September, the range will also feature all-black bags in four different models and one blue and canvas rucksack. For a fairly new clothing line founded in 2004, the Scandinavian-based Norse Projects design studio is often described as having a simple, effortless, and understated aesthetic. This is wholly confirmed in the artist t-shirts of line-drawn personified animal characters and the knitted sweaters that tend to range in the beige and gray spectrum. Of the pants selection, there are thermals, sweats, and chinos that all taper in a bit at the ankles and come in brown, burnt red, and gray colorways. Of the long-sleeved shirts, expect to see soft, muted colors of white, gray, and beige alongside more vibrant hues of pink, orange, and blue. The most exciting pieces of the collection are definitely the outdoor jackets (see the Frank Ripstop in acid yellow and the Birk Winter Wool coat in cameo) as they boast a formidable construction that is appropriate to wear from the city to the woods.

| DRx Romanelli x Bamford Watch Department – Rolex Yachtmaster “Gold POPEYE” Posted: 12 Aug 2013 04:00 PM PDT
Following up on last year’s Army vs. Navy project, Dr. Romanelli and Bamford Watch Department have joined forces once again, this time focusing on the maritime half of the previous collaborative effort. The resulting Popeye-themed Rolex Yachtmaster model drops the black titanium coating of its predecessor for striking 18-karat gold, complete with a white dial adorned with the famed cartoon sailor and subtle Dr. Romanelli branding. A nice finishing touch, Popeye’s muscle-bound arms act as the piece’s hour and minute hands. Contact Bamford Watch Department for purchase inquiries regarding the Dr. Romanelli “Popeye” Rolex Yachtmaster, which is limited to a quantity of just 10 units.
