True Love Never Dies
by Ami Kealoha
Evisu and Puma joined forces once again to make a line of premium denim jeans called "True Love Never Dies" officially dropping on Valentine's day. The launch party is set for this coming Monday, 13 February at a party held in Puma's Soho store where they will be sold exclusively. The three washes range from distressed to a dark non-distressed, the priciest of which will set you back $180. Of note is the back pocket "formstripe" that with wear reveals the classic Puma band.
Check out some detail shots on Hypebeast. See more images and a flyer after the jump.

GraffitiTV
by Jacob Resneck
GraffitiTV is another site that recently caught our attention. As graffiti art continues to globalize, it's overwhelming with the many sites showcasing the latest offerings. But if you've got a QuickTime plug-in, tune into this site and watch one of the many "channels" in which documentary makers from around the world take you on a tour of their neighborhoods, serving up fresh and original artwork on the culverts and walls of the urban jungle. Featured are lo-fi clips as well as full documentaries about the latest international artists whose fame has left their neighborhood to be shared with a global audience.
White Walls "Sold Out" Show
by Carol T Chung
With more than 17 artists displaying their work at "Sold Out," opening today at the White Walls Gallery in SF, I was slightly skeptical of how it could come together. However a quick Googling of most of the names listed had me thinking otherwise. Instead of being a mishmash of different styles there seems to be a cohesive quality about the selection of different illustrative and graffiti artists presenting work.
The following artists have pieces in the show: Tim McCormick, Buffmonster, Metal Man Ed, Persue, Ben Frost, Siloette, Axis, David Choong Lee, Damon Soule, Big Foot, Freddi C, Justin Fry, Monica Canilao, Chris Gonzales, Alex Pardee, Huck Gee, Crash and others...
