Dalek vs. Blacklisted EP
(10 October 2006) - Like the difference between reading a blog and reading a magazine, listening to mp3s (even with a feature like Coverflow) doesn't compare to owning an actual artist-designed 12". The first in a series of picture discs produced by Free News Projects, this edition of 800 features Dalek's trademark psycho mice on a four-track EP by the Philadelphia hardcore band Blacklisted. With more Philly-based releases...

Invader x Mekanism Skateboards
(05 October 2006) - Paris-based skateboard company Mekanism invited Space Invader—the French graffiti artist known for his mosaics—once again to have his way with their decks. Expanding on the limited edition turquoise and red mosaic print that Invader came up with on their first collaboration (back in '05), there's only one per edition and they're made with actual tiles. Matrix (pictured right) duplicates the original design, adding mirror...

Mosley Tribes Supports Free City
(26 September 2006) - I've been loving my Mosley Tribes sunglasses since I first started wearing them a couple months back. The styling is great, comfort perfect and optics top-notch. I've also been a long time fan of Nina Garduno's work at Fred Segal and her relatively new clothing line, FREECITY. This week the two come together with the launch of a limited edition series of sunglasses distributed...

Snakeskin Wallabees
(13 September 2006) - Aside from the occasional camo, most Wallabee colorways are subtle deviations from classic. These, made from dyed Python skin, are anything but low-key. Designed by Boston-based Soldier Design in collaboration with Tannery co-owner Tarek Hassan and Clarks Footwear they were a concept started back in 2005. Eventually 15 pair were made and they went on sale today at The Tannery in Harvard Square, Cambridge,...

John Varvatos Converse "Crazy Laces"
(11 August 2006) - For their first collaboration John Varvatos and Converse brought you the slip-on Chuck—summer's perfect shoe. Now it's slightly Goth fall brother has dropped and is quite a sight. As seen in the pic above provided so kindly by UNDFTD, there are 19 eyelets on either side of the shoe but the black canvas, eyelets and laces balance chaos with simplicity. And those laces are...

Beautiful/Decay Tees: Aya Kato and Jonathan Nicol
(07 August 2006) - Recently added to Beautiful/Decay's line of artist-designed tees, these two new shirts continue the brand's shirt-as-canvas approach. Australian artist Jonathan Nicol's "Conan Shirt" juxtaposes mythological icons, like vampire teeth, a woman wearing an eye patch and a skull, using a palette restricted to gray, yellow, black, and white. For Aya Kato's second Beautiful/Decay effort, the Japanese artist depicts two mermaids and their watery surroundings...

Call of the Wild
(02 August 2006) - Every day this week we're writing about the things that really caught our eye at the top British casualwear show To Be Confirmed last weekend. London-based Kai and Sunny are the designers responsible for Call Of The Wild, a label that's quickly done well through both word-of-mouth and blogosphere recommendations. I caught up with Kai at TBC, and he talked me through their thinking...

Suicide Girls x Needled
(17 July 2006) - The latest contributor to help make Suicide Girls a lot more than just a skin site, is none other than Tattoo Revue, as she calls it, is a weekly recap of the world in tattoos, a kind of "Needled for those with Attention Deficit Disorder."

Trust Nobody x Methamphibian
(06 July 2006) - Bread & Butter, a fashion fair that travels between Barcelona and Berlin every six months. This behemoth event is so overwhelming that after just a few hours you feel like screaming to be let out of the warren of mega-brands, wishing none of us would ever have to wear clothes again. That’s why the smaller events happening around town make for better bite-sized morsels...

Fila + Core77
(12 June 2006) - Sneaker collaborations are a dime a dozen these days, so it’s pretty rare that something really unique and fresh turns up. Fila and design website Core77 cooked up these kicks for Core’s 11th birthday. They were originally reported to be denim, but closer inspection revealed they’re treated to look like they were carved from blue foam, a popular modeling material in design schools and...

Artists Play Too
(28 March 2006) - In a dream, Mayor Michael Bloomberg held a press conference and announced: “Foremost, New York is about artistic collaboration. My number one goal is to nurture the city as a cultural incubator so we can breed a new generation of Lady Pinks and Andy Warhols.” Then he declares August 27th as Old School Respect Day and instructs all citizens to dress accordingly.

Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan: Ballad of the Broken Seas
(24 February 2006) - Sad music is my favorite music. Is that because I’m depressed? Maybe, but I’ll take early Leonard Cohen and bottle of single malt over the latest Arctic Monkeys-type record and a vodka Red Bull every time. That’s just me. And for people like me, Mark Lanegan’s whiskey-soaked growl has always been as reliable as a drunk friend. After leaving grunge band the Screaming Trees,...

Tagür AKA Blank
(01 February 2006) - Like the better mousetrap, we're constantly trying to design the more stylish sneaker. Burlington-based Tagür is upping the ante with their AKA Blank shoes. These white shoes are an artist's canvas (made from a specially treated paint-friendly surface) on which to express yourself. If you don't feel inclined, just set up one of your "artsy" friends with a Sharpie indelible marker and let 'em...

CH x Timbuk2 Artist Bags
(01 November 2005) - In conjunction with Timbuk2, celebrating the launch of their new Artist Canvas Bag - a traditional messenger bag designed to be hand-customized - we tasked three New York-based artists, Lucas Irwin, Yuri Shimojo, and Joseph Ari Aloi (aka JK5), with adding their own imagery. The results range from JK5's tribal purple-and-yellow icons (pictured above, left) to Lucas' collage juxtaposing woodgrain, guns, sunsets, and birds...

Alife Pump Tennis
(31 October 2005) - Alife and Reebok have teamed up to redefine the tennis shoe by hybridizing it with a tennis ball. Their Pump Tennis appears to be coated in actual tennis ball felt (click the image to zoom). I don't think it will add much to your game besides distracting your opponent, but will certainly win some cred points. No word yet on availability or edition. Thanks,...
