Mad Professor by Josh Rubin
Yesterday I checked out Vancouver's premier sneaker store, Livestock. They had all the stuff you'd expect to see-- Adidas 35th Anniversary Superstars, BAPEs, various Nike Quickstrikes, Ice Creams and more. They did introduce me to a few new things, though. Mad, for example, is a Japanese brand that has been around for awhile. This pair, called the Mad Professor, is covered in 3M Scotchlite reflective material to add a little sparkle to the already funky-fresh design.

A.R.C. Sports Store
Of streetwear pioneer Alife's many 2008 accomplishments—which include fresh collaborations (see their Lacoste Polos and the Parra x Patta sneaker for a couple of our favorites) and stores opening in Tokyo and Los Angeles—what might be the most significant for the seven-year-old brand is the introduction of their new NYC retail location, the A.R.C. Sports Store. Opened Monday directly across the street from their...

Converse 1HUND(RED) x Wood Wood All Star Hi-Top
As the 26th artist to work with Converse's current creative initiative, the 1HUND(RED) Artists' footwear collaboration for PRODUCT (RED), CH favorites Wood Wood designed a stylish monochromatic rendition of the classic Chuck Taylor.

Number Nine Shearling Lined High Top
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but before you know it we'll be stomping around in the cold ice and snow again. Luckily, Japanese label Number Nine recently released the Shearling Lined High Top Sneaker to help keep your feet warm and looking good during the colder months. In what seems to be a variation on the VisVim Kiefer silhouette, Number...

Tretorn NY Store and Gullwing Collection
Along with the recent opening of Tretorn's first NYC store, their recently announced Autumn/Winter 2008 collection, called Gullwing, is full of shoes riffing on the preppy classic in ways we can get behind. The Skymra, for example, swaps out laces for asymmetrical elastic bands, transforming the classic silhouette of the tennis shoe into an avant-slip-on. The canvas version ($70) in bright yellow with a...

Y-3 "Nice to Meet You" Sneaker
We love New York, everybody loves New York, but the latest to proclaim it is Yohji Yamamoto with this limited-edition Y-3 shoe that inaugurates the new Y-3 store opening in Manhattan today. Made using Japanese denim from Yamamoto's fabric atelier, we're digging the futuristic look and who can resist the charm of the title, "Nice to Meet You," printed on the insole? Only 50...
