New Vans Peacoat Chukkas

These arrived today; classic Vans Chukka shape in a peacoat-style wool, complete with anchor buttons attatched to a strap round each heel. I like the nautical theme, the material translates well onto a shoe, and I think the navy and black is a strong combination, regardless of what Grazia magazine might tell me..

Complex's Top 100 Tees of the 2000's

Complex Magazine has just released its top 100 t-shirts of the past decade, and it's definitely worth a look.

This is the Nike Vandal Hi "Heavy Metal" shoe, released last year. I'm sure they were probably great at the time, if what you wanted was a foot like a grunger's rucksack. Terrible decision though, and now, for some absurd reason, Nike have released a new Vandal which continues the "theme," in a white colourway with little silver studs around the ankle. I suppose the new version has been slightly toned down, but the white makes it all look a little less Iron Maiden and a little more Siegfried and Roy.

Kitsuné Maison 7 & Fall/Winter '09 Collection

Kitsuné have released this nice little video, which lets you preview both the upcoming Kitsuné Maison 7 Compilation, and their Fall/Winter '09 Collection, all at the same time! Very generous of them, what else could you possibly want?
