HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Now go pick up the ventilators as mentioned in our previos post

Every once and a while we come across a dope gadget or device we get really excited about and decide to drop. Well here is another, Ferrari has teamed up with Segway to release this electro. Word on the street is the scooter doesn’t go any faster and has no additional amenities. I guess this one is for those who'd just like to say "I have a Ferrari scooter!"

Frenchman Pierre Hardy who is already known for his outré dress shoes and boots has designed a limited-edition sneaker wherein every part of the shoe is made from a different color. The shoes are being dropped in a run of 500 for a nice $440 and will be available this week from Barneys.





Artysm, a France based apparel line that produces upscale/modern cut and sew. They offer a variety of sweats and sweatshirts that are unlike any other I've ever seen, the website is surely going into my "Shop" favorites!

UPCOMING 08' Dunks

Many SB heads have recently criticized the brand with lost momentum since the What The Dunks release. However with these two drops Nike SB is surely making a revival. The pair on the left is inspired by the Atari classic 720 Degrees.



This guy is everywhere! One of the most talked about designers this year Raf Simmons has collabed with Eastpack to release a traditional luggage brand that is scheduled to release spring/summer of 08.

They've gone international baby! Silver Spoon Attire has taken their soft as butter, street attitude leather jackets on a global distribution. The London based label insist it's all about delivering top notch quality in modern design for menswear/womenswear. "I go to the Instituto Marangoni in east London and it is full of really rich Russian girls, who arrive in flash cars with blacked-out windows. They have so much money to spend, we decided to aim the label at them." States designer David Collins who creates along side partner Avigail Claire. Though targeted for rich Russians they have great fabric and detail that everyone can enjoy.
