Jeff Staple | Resurrecting A Ruckus

When art and design meets mechanics and restoration...you receive this beautiful creation.  Watch how Alpinestars in Los Angeles collab with Jeff Staple to restore his 2002 Honda Ruckus.  Super dope.

Adidas KZK ZX 750 RG 84-Lab "Pencil"

Simply put...one of the most creative kicks you could possibly wear.  Designed in collaboration with Kazuki Kuraishi and Adidas, these have no choice but to grab your eye!  So creative...who'd of thought that pencil scribbles could look so good on a silhouette? 

These will be available for purchase at select Adidas retailers, End Clothing being one of them.  Would you rock?

Brand Black

The Hundreds has posted an article breaking down Brand Black's mission in the footwear industry.  David Raysse and Billy Dill and the brains behind the brand's direction and they have a very "pure" vision of what will make this brand unique.

I highly respect them attempting to break into an industry that Nike has 96% of.  It's about being competitive, but yet leading in your own way.  Hit the link below to read the entire article.

KAWS Studio by Wonderwall

Wonderwall, a Japanese architectual firm, has helped rejuvenate KAWS' studio in Brooklyn.  When I saw this today, I was completely inspired in more ways than one.  This type of work environment is something I crave to have under my possession one day.  So simple.  So intriguing.  Something a designer/artist needs on a daily basis in my eyes.  To view more of the space, click the link below!

Jason Markk Opens Flagship Store

Professional sneaker cleaner and restorer Jason Markk has opened a new flagship store that will cater to those sneakerheads that love to keep their kicks clean and fresh.  The flagship store has opened here in Los Angeles and will feature a drop-off service along with Markk's famous line of cleaning products.

I think this is a great idea, especially during this boom in the sneaker industry.  Head over to SoleCollector to get more details and location of the store.
