Nike SB X HUF   Blazer Mid SB Canvas Capsule Collection

Nike SB teamed up with HUF to release a capsule collection of goodies ranging from Blazer Mid SB to tees and caps. The model used as a collaborative canvas this time is well, the Blazer Mid SB with a canvas upper. The collaborative kicks are kept clean, simple and classic in colorways of all-black and all-white. The only telltale sign of HUF’s hand in these kicks come in the form of an embroidered logo tag attached to the heel panel of the shoes, quietly flagging the Nike embroidery on the back. Alongside the sneakers, the capsule collection features printed tees, caps and jacket all with both HUF and Nike SB’s stamp. The tees are emblazoned with HUF logo and “HUF CITY DIRTBAG” on the back above the Nike mark, and HUF found a way to discreetly incorporate itself into the Nike SB tag on the bottom of the jacket. Check out the cool and fail-safe collection and mark your calendars for Nov 7 because that’s when all the items will go on sale exclusively at HUF stores.




Sometimes, watches look really interesting. So many of the designs just make you want to grab it then and there. This is a conceptual watch that may give you mixed thoughts. It is a pretty funky looking one and has a measuring-tape look-alike thing as its dial. Termed as the Ora watch, this one tells time on a series of three crisscrossed analog time strips. The top one gives time in minutes, overlapping a smaller band with the hours, and a narrow third belt with the current day of the week. The mechanism seems very complicated and quite mind baffling. It is designed by Alexandros Stasinopoulos.

Nike has released a pack of two different Blazer High’s that are both inspired by Godzilla, both of which are available now at select Nike Sportswear retailers. One of the Blazer’s take’s the Godzilla inspiration to be a bit more literal and uses a Green upper with a screened reptilian print all over it. The other Blazer High uses an all Black upper with a perforated Nike Swoosh and the application of a graphic over it that makes it look like a giant claw just slashed through the shoe. Available now at Proper.
