Maccheronian Italian Army Sneaker by Tim Yu
From the shoe brand that produces NATO's military shoes, Maccheronian recently released a shoe for civilians named the Italian Army Sneaker. Handmade in Romania, they claim to provide the comfort and support needed if you were to go to battle.
The Italian Army Sneaker features an upper that utilizes both canvas and suede providing for different textures and lines. We love its simplicity and attractive details, especially the use of the Italian national colors with the logo on the midsole and the two green and red lace holes. A brand that's popular in Eastern Europe and Japan, we're excited to see more from them in the future.
Currently available in black and off-white for ¥15,500 from ZoZo shop.

Generic Man Sportman Sneakers
My latest sneaker purchase, the Sportsman by Generic Man, have all the aesthetic qualities of a great sneaker with high-end materials and production methods to match.

Onkyo D-TK10s
Based on the way acoustic vibrations resonate through the body of an instrument to create rich sound, Onkyo recently released these specially engineered D-TK10 speakers that take advantage of the entire speaker cabinet—rather than the traditional use of only the woofers and tweeters. Produced in partnership with renowned Japanese guitar maker Takamine, the gorgeously handmade rosewood-and-mahogany set measures under nine inches tall, making them...

Waraku and Namitatsu
Last week I stumbled upon Waraku and it instantly became my new favorite store in LA. Sneakers and T-shirts are imported directly from Japan with a focus on brands and styles not typically available in the US. I was able to grab a pair of Nike Sabaku slip-ons (below, left) and also learned about Namitatsu, the Japanese surf brand. Namitatsu, which translates to "wave...

Bape World Coming Soon
Japanese sneaker and street-wear brand, A Bathing Ape has launched their web site at bape.com, but nothing seems to be there. Well, that's not entirely true. There's a splash page with a big download button. I downloaded the file and ran it (with some hesitation). Immediately my firewall went off as the app tried to contact its home server. I let it thru (with...
