CREATIVE RECREATION - SUMMER/FALL

Here we have some of our favourite picks from the latest Creative Recreation Summer/Fall ranges including some very nice Barney Exclusives that have come out of their Co-Op/Collab program with the refined retailer.
Silhouettes from past Creative Recreation ranges feature strongly as well some new models we hadn't seen before. We'd say the strongest appeal from the available ranges is the amazing variety of material colors and secondly the material textures. There are some great hues seen through the broad collection including some uncommon pastels and the textiles in use range from suedes to perforated leather to patents to metallics!
We've picked some of their more black iterations because we feel the bold, distinguished appeal of these is what defines Creative Recreation's unique offering in the market. They boast an upmarket vibe whilst still firmly anchored to the streets and you can check out the below plus many more at their newly launched site .. www.cr8tiverecreation.com where both Mens and a great variety of Womens styles can be discovered.

DC X LEMAR & DAULEY

A men’s apparel line operating in the street-wear sector, Lemar & Dauley recently joined DC to extend its line and develop new and exciting brand concepts. Lemar and Dauley strives to create and collaborate through different design mediums to place design, not fashion on display.

In their partnership with DC, Lemar and Dauley founders worked closely with the DC design team to create colorful suede and houndstooth midtop shoes. The pop colors, exaggerated perforations and embroidered patterns developed by Lemar and Dauley showcase their efforts to produce design within footwear.

Established late 2003, founding members Kareem Blair, Brian Bachelor, and Daniel Pierre have directed Lemar & Dauley to visually push the envelope of graphic design and brand extension into various outlets through marketing and strategic advances. Their unique mentality of design and desire to push the limits of their product made the brand a standout for DC’s LIFE Collection. The new Lemar and Dauley/DC collaboration showcases the similar energy and direction for innovation in design that these brands share.

Crooks & Castles - Medusa Illuminati T-Shirts

the homies at crooks doing real hot things............keep the grind going fam
The Medusa design has become a trademark for Crooks & Castles and is to date one of their strongest designs. Now the brand introduces an updated design of the classic under their Illuminati collection, which is a collection sold only to their best accounts worldwide.

A design that is already so strong and has such a following is hard to change and get it right. But we have to admit, the updated Medusa design looks even better than the original. The main difference is the replacement of the hair with the snakes and it just looks amazing. Expect the new design to be part of the Crooks & Castles Fall 2007 Illuminati collection.


They released two colorways of the tee exclusively online, that you can also check out

BODEGA ESCAPE PACK

Evolving from small passenger vans to a fleet of state-of-the-art coaches operated from Boston’s South Station, the success of these independent bus lines has not been without controversy. Urban legends about racketeering, links to organized crime, torsos found in suitcases and really strange smells have been circulating since their inception. A recent spate of accidents hasn’t silenced the rolling thunder of these economy fleets either. Despite pictures of charred hulls of overturned coaches haunting the front pages of newspapers, ticket sales and the dominance of the Chinatown buses continues to grow.
So Boston's own Bodega decided to create a pack in honour of the route closest to our hearts – the New York to Boston Route! Bodega and Reebok will give back to travelers what these bus lines have given for many years – freedom. Basically, the ESCAPE PACK is everything you need for a weekend away. You can leave your job or your last class at school, head to Bodega and as long as you’re wearing pants, everything else you need is in the pack. From reading materials to music, clothing – you will be hooked up and on your way out of town.

Each pack is unique, and will have hidden treasures. There will only be 100 Travel Packs produced worldwide, and only one of them is guaranteed to win the ultimate prize, which includes an airline ticket, custom gear and the finest footwear. Keep your eyes peeled for a launch date for this novel idea!

Clae Footwear Fall '07 Preview

Clae presents a new approach to footwear and modernizes the styling of classic casual silhouettes while delivering the comfort of performance athletic footwear. New for Fall 2007, Clae introduces the Russell in caramel, black, umber and olive

With its sublimely simple styling incorporating a smooth pull up leather upper and a classic cup sole, the Russell is the thinking man’s mid-top. We enjoy a lot the matching of the outside tag and the inner lining. It's the sort of attention of detail that will set them apart from what's already in the market. Its supple leather lining and the cloud-like feel of a custom molded foot-bed will have your feet feeling like they are flying high. In first class, surely. The Russel is for sure the stand-out piece in their new collection.

Available at Reed Space NYC and Everything Must Go in NYC, Conveyor/Fred Segal and Union in LA, and Commonwealth in VA & DC as of this Fall.
