Y-3 "Nice to Meet You" Sneaker by Ami Kealoha

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 pairs are out there, retailing for $500 exclusively at the new store. Get thee to the Meatpacking!

21 Mercer Nike Sportswear Collection
Nike officially announced the opening of its first Nike Sportswear retail store in the world today. Located at 21 Mercer in NYC's SoHo and opening its doors this Thursday, 22 August 2008, this newest and top tier Nike shop will be the only location globally to carry the complete Nike Sportswear NSW collection.

Vintage Leather Jacket Chucks
Converse's latest drop to celebrate their 100th is a lesson in how to make a good thing better. Made out of vintage leather jackets, the leather has that greasy worn-in feel and plenty of unique details. We also like the patchwork construction and the incorporation of the black anodized zipper as a design element along the tongue. Waxed cotton laces complete the look, as...
