These silver, white and hints of turquoise kicks will be part of the Supra’s very own flagship store in Los Angeles Factory 413’s store exclusives called ‘413‘. A better pic after the jump will help you figure out what sneakers I’m talking about.

CROOKS AND CASTLES are are no strangers to robbin’ and stealin’ familiar classic icon and giving them their own twist. Often times taking them from high end fashion most sought after logos and crafting them to fit CROOKS AND CASTLES.

Apologies for the corny headline but today marks the release of the Huf spring lineup. The past few seasons have seen the brand expand further beyond the traditional hoody/t shirt/cap/sneaker lineup and this season is no exception with some minimally branded jackets and oxfords. Nonetheless, the strongest pieces in the line remain the notorious H New Era caps and clean hoody designs. Check out some highlights after the jump.
Over a year ago, politically-minded Hip Hop fans were struck by a line of Barack Obama-endorsing shirts that incorporated the beloved 4th & Broadway logo (Eric B & Rakim, Mobb Deep, X-Clan) and those ’85 Chicago Bulls into something socially-reactive. That was then, and everybody from Mos Def to Barack Obama himself have praised these efforts. Hoodman Clothing was the outfit behind the awakening. Started by Edwyn Huang, the New York based company has tackled many more issues, from Rupert Murdoch’s potential ownership of our minds, to the Sisters Spears both getting stylishly knocked up, to Hip Hop relationship with video games, it’s always thought-provoking, and graffiti for the mind in today’s colorful fashion world.
The Evil Collector spoke to Mr. Huang about some of the inspiration behind their new school line, the political consciousness and the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” adage of one clothier that’s not trying to do it, but rather admit its mistakes and keep on pushing product with integrity. Hoodman doesn’t make your average shirts, but it’s the brainchild of extraordinary people, see what we mean.
Mishka has recently released a lookbook to accompany the release of their spring line. As usual the line takes great inspiration from tradtional metal and punk imagery with a few unique twists to keep things interesting. Mishka has always been a favorite brand of mine and it’s been great to see the brand grow from cutting edge graphic work and expand into equally progressive clothing design. This spring line sees the brand extending themselves in both of these areas and features several must have pieces.
The new spring tee lineup from Recon has arrived in their brick and mortar shop in New York. For those of you living outside the NY area, we have teaser images of each tee. Baseball and the struggles between heaven and hell seem to be the two themes running through much of the spring line. Take this Dodgers parody posted above for example, as a simple design utilizing a clean script, or as a reference to the the notorious Dodger blue.
10 Deep has released an online lookbook for their spring line. The line is themed “Blue Collar, Blue Bloods” and explores the juxtaposition of the working class and a more luxurious lifestyle within streetwear. As one of the older brands within this culture, it’s amazing how 10 Deep continues to stay innovative and relevant both in their graphics and cut ‘n sew design. This lookbook embodies the irreverant, lighthearted spirit of the brand without sacrificing any of it’s edge.
So I lied, there’s one more Supreme post left in me for a while. I promise. I mean it this time. Anyway, this is some more of the outerwear for this spring season. There’s a nice range of more casual/athletic jackets to a few more sophisticated designs. Check em all out below!
