ACRONYM SS16 Release

March 25, 2016 by rocky

Yesterday saw the launch of the new season from ACRONYM. The spring collection is more focused on layering pieces and pants than it is on outerwear. There’s a great mix of returning classics and new styles. One of my favorite new pants ACR put out is the P20. It’s a tapered pant based on a new idea for mechanical knee articulation. Other highlights are the Nemen J28 jackets which come in 4 colors. Each is beautifully object dyed with a different gradient. Another highlight is the J1B-S , which essentially acts like a remix of the classic J1A.

The stuff has been moving very quickly online but you can find it on the ACRNM site. Other online stockists include END, Haven, Hanon Shop, Hotoveli , IDOL, BDGA and Firmament.

Undercover FW16 Men’s ‘Instant Calm’ Lookbook

January 24, 2016 by rocky

Jun Takahashi steers Undercover in a different direction for Fall/Winter 2016. While the Spring/Summer 2016 collection is a greatest hits compilation of sorts, the upcoming season once again re-invents what the Undercover label can stand for.

The main source of inspiration is found in Belgian artist Michael Borremans’ paintings and there is artwork from the artist that is directly used on garments (Such as the Black Mould painting on the back of the one of the parkas). Along with the graphics themselves, this collection introduces a more muted pastel color palette of light blues, greys and tans. The shapes themselves also very from the usual very skinny to slim cut items to now wider silhouettes and coats that provide more volume. Rounding out the collection is a strong string of accessories from the prominently featured hats to new backpacks and a nice take on Wallabee type boot finished with a ripple sole.

Check more looks after the jump or visit Undercover for more info.

Triple White Y-3 Qasa High

January 20, 2016 by rocky

Here they are, the coke white Y-3 Qasa High. If you’re a reader of this site, the Qasa probably needs little introduction. From afar they seem more like an art object than a sneaker. Not for the meek of heart, these look like they would get scuffed straight out the box. If you can live with the risk however, this is one of the best colorways of this sneaker to date. We’ve covered these before and I had always hoped they would release in triple white. Part of me dreams of wearing these with a crazy teched out arctic look. These are now up for pre-order at Barney’s and Sneakerboy.
