NEIGHBORHOOD x Porter 2012 Fall/Winter Collection

Despite its disposition towards black, NEIGHBORHOOD brightens up its palette in fine fashion with a small capsule of Porter-produced accessories. While customary black is also available, a highlight of the rich royal blue RUSSEL / CL-CARD CASE and CC / CL-CASE options are presented here. Gold embellishments offer a degree of contrast through the coin case and card case. Both are available now at select NEIGHBORHOOD dealers globally.

Nike Roshe Run “Shorebreak”

Nike-roshe-run-shorebreak-1

Nike‘s ultra simple but extremely well-received Roshe Run receives the following update. The ever popular usage of pattern over the last few seasons continue with a zebra-esque pattern over a simple blue upper. Seen in Sneaker Freaker issue 25, no word yet on an exact release date but expect it to be well-received like much of the previous Roshe Run lineup.

Thrasher-magazine-casio-gshock

Thrasher Magazine and Casio pay homage to skate culture with a spirited collaboration that takes shape as the DW-5600 watch. Presented with a prominent checkerboard pattern on the face of the digital timepiece, black accents with ribbed bracelet – all amenities we’ve seen on past G-Shock’s – make up the prominent and rugged construction. The collaborative DW-5600 watch will be available at select Japanese institutions starting on September 1.

Dr. Lakra x ABSOLUT Vodka Bottles Pay Homage to Mexican Culture

ABSOLUT Mexico has commissioned artist Dr. Lakra for this latest set of limited edition bottles paying tribute to ancient Mayan culture. The bottles feature captivating graphics embellished with themes of Balam, Kukulkan and Hurakan respectively representing the jaguar, the feathered serpent and the wind. As one of the more memorable designs seen from the Swedish vodka label, these will surely not be a hit on the shelves. Take a look at the accompanying video (in Spanish) for a first hand insight into the design approach and a view of the bottling process.

Denim & Supply by Ralph Lauren 2012 Fall/Winter Lookbook

Positioned as an edgier yet youthful line whilst aligning with the eponymous label’s love for vintage Americana garbs, Ralph Lauren’s Denim & Supply presents its 2012 fall/winter lookbook. Having previously been announced here with its collaborative effort alongside Swedish DJ Avicii, we finally get a glimpse at the end result. With an exclusive remix to his track “Silhouettes” released earlier this month here, the 22-year-old producer offered insight in the design and marketing campaign for this seasonal range. As always, Denim & Supply presents a casual collection that blends a Southwestern bohemian spirit with vintage Americana workwear and a dose of New Enlgand prep. Distressed denim is mixed in with Native American prints, faux furs, heavy flannels, knit accessories and functional outerwear. This forthcoming collection can be purchased at participating stockists as well as Ralph Lauren’s webshop.
