As a former iPhone owner, there are few things about it I can look back on, and say that I miss. The amazing amount of designer and artist edition cases is one of those blaring items, and the latest offering from Undefeated (UNDFTD) Japan, definitely makes it a tough pill to swallow. This royal blue protective case is stamped with the five strives logo on the outside, and on the inside, the infamous “Play Dirty” motto. If you happen to be an iphone owner interested in this case, you have two options, move to japan, or stop by/give in4mation (hawaii) a ring to order one.

Yesterday night marked the Montreal launch of Adidas’ ObyO Fall/Winter 09 Collection. The headliners of this collection, Jeremy Scott, James Bond, and Kazuki Kuraishi are instantly recognizable in the fashion industry. Each brings a totally different approach to their pieces, creating a rather dynamic collection. Below are a couple pieces, snapped by Marcus Troy, that really stood out to me.

Culture, lifestyle and fashion collective, INVENTORY, has finally launched their, much anticipated, first issue of their magazine. Interviews with leaders in the fashion industry, coverage of various collections, and much more, this looks to be a great first step in a hopefully fruitful endeavor. Looking forward to getting my copy.

Soph’s Hirofumi Kiyonaga and fragment’s Hiroshi Fujiwara (uniform experiment) have taken a moment to use their collective Wonder Twin powers, in collaboration with nike, to create a special edition boot for SOPH’s 10th anniversary collection. The Special Force Boot, as it is named, is designed for use by American troops, and has been noted as being the lightest and most advanced boot they have produced. Its construction uses premium materials for the uppers, as well as kevlar throughout, as well as Nike’s Natural Motion Cushioning units, to make a phenomenal looking and rugged boot. The boots are also being released with a matching attaché, which compliments the sleekness of the silhouette perfectly. The Special Force Boot is available via Isetan department store (japan) and SOPH outlets, which means it will be rather hard to come by state side, and probably in smaller sizes.

I’m pretty sure that’s the thought going through your head as you stare at what is now an empty site. What happened? Well a couple things, I jacked up the database, hadn’t backed it up in about a year, didn’t feel like recovering from host, server was also full of stray files… basically spring (fall) cleaning. I’m actually looking forward to starting this site over anyway, as events in my life had caused me to neglect posting, leaving huge gaps in post dates. Well less talking, more post. cheers
