vans shoes and brooks bike seats

last november vans approached renowned bike saddle maker brooks to collaborate on a vault project. the result is a pair of leather era lx sneakers (limited to 2000) and a brooks team pro saddle (limited to 500), both of which feature an embossed graphic designed by the vans team. only available in vans flagship stores and selected brooks dealers. by xy

louboutin x lippmann

i’m not exactly sure if this is so bad that it is nice or if it’s just nice but that’s certainly interesting. shoe-god christian louboutin made those images with photographer peter lippmann for the second time now. the first try was around the still lives, this one is obviously referencing the dutch paintings, it’s not as good as guido mocafico’s ones but it’s including a product which is kind of a nice try (a bit hit & miss thought). by pp.

vans+hermes or the other way round

i know it’s been around a lot on blogs but that’s really cool whatsoever. stylist robert verdi (no idea who the guy is and seeing what comes up when google him, not sure i want to know) anyway, he had his entry at vans and a stack of hermes scarves which turned into those fab shoes. ok that’s a bit futile and too much for an everyday use but some people can get away with it can’t they? by pp.

A.P.C. shoes

i just picked up these APC sneakers the other day and thought i’d share the pleasure. it looks a little reminiscent of a common projects, but we’re not gonna hold that against them. by bn
