Now I’m sure the name Keds doesn’t evoke the thought of a quality shoe. Most of us remember them as simple shoes, that house wives in middle America wore around to do house work or go shopping and junk, and then threw them in with the laundry when they got dirty. Well Keds is hoping you don’t remember that, or at least want you to forget that stage of their life. Here we have there step forward, the Keds Hell Sand, a simple, mid height shoe, using the signature Keds simplicity.
Unfortunately, the only slated release will be at United Arrows, but if that changes, I will update…because i kinda want a pair.

Like the Adidas? Like the original Stan Smiths? Fan of Aesop Rock? Like Upper Playground?
Even if you answered no to one of those, its more then enough reason to pick up the latest shoe collab to hit the streets from, San Fran natives, Upper Playground and Aesop. On thursday, July 31st at 8:00 pst, the grey, faded green, with gold trimmed, Smiths will be released to the public via the Upper Playground flagship stores and well as online at Upperplayground.com. I can assure you, these will sell out fast, so you might want to mark your calendars for this one.

Just having come back from the San Diego Comic Con, I thought I’d seen every toy there was to see, but I was wrong. A specially made custom Kaws 5YL companion dubbed, “500 Years Later Companion”, was created by Frank Kozik for the con. As to be expected, people have begun to go ape-shit at the idea of a new Companion release, but as it stands this is a one off.

Seamour’s revamped their original Illuminative Edition Sheep, marking it as a radioactive product. With a cool green glow, and the original USB hookup, the new sheep also sports a motion sensor controlled power switch. Don’t be a black sheep, go pick one up.
