{Undercoversim J4801 Leather-Sleeved Hoodie}


Under the efforts of Undercoverism, the ubiquitous hoodie enjoys a luxurious appropriation for fall/winter. Much like a recently seen rendition of this double-rider leather jacket, an honest approach to re-mixing incorporates the use of leather sleeves on an expected fleece body. The end result is something much closer to a jacket than your usual hoodie and arguably falls in the territory of your time-tested varsity jacket. The J4801 Leather-Sleeved Hoodie is available now at select retailers including UNDERCOVER.

Prada 2012 Fall/Winter Lace-up Shoes

Italian label Prada executes its footwear program to perfection as it builds awareness and demand for its military elitist inspired winter range of shoes. Prepping our closet as it patiently expects a slew of new Prada garbs, the longstanding brand releases the refreshing Lace-Up Shoe. Available in an array of two-tone color options at select stockists, this model features a brushed calf skin leather upper with a complimenting bulbous rubber midsole and sole. It faintly resembles the protective sleeve suited commuters tend to layer atop their elegantly crafted, ill-suited for harsh weather shoes.
Finally!! People could finally throw away there sport cups!!

Olympic Shooting Venue by Magma Architecture







Berlin progressive firm Magma Architecture designed the shooting range for the London 2012 Olympic Games, which will host the 10, 25, and 50 meter events. The aptly-titled “Olympic Shooting Venue,” located in London’s Woolworth district, is actually composed of three tents, all easily disassembled and completely moveable. The tents are composed of a double layer PVC membrane, supported by steel trusses, featuring circular protrusions throughout. These ‘nodes’ act as ventilation points for the structures, as well as entry and exit areas. The tents will be home to the Olympics, as well as the Paralympics in September.

{Nike Air More Uptempo – Black/Volt}


It’s hard to tweak and re-release a shoe that has a history like the Nike More Uptempo. The shoe has been on the feet of many of the game’s top players, including those who were part of what is arguably the greatest team every to play together. And while Nike recognizes there’s a new generation on-board and a new style of play, that doesn’t mean one can’t still respect the original Pippen-endorsed model and just freshen it up a bit. Arriving in one of its most simple colorways to-date, this new black and volt Air More Uptempo is something special. The bright volt accents in the Max Air Unit and heel Swoosh provide a hot contrast against the black nubuck upper, which shares its attributes with the “Air” that slides its way down the side panel. Finished with tonal laces and a mesh tongue, these are ready to hit the streets and perform like you know they can. Already on the shelves in limited numbers, you’ll need to act fast if you want to get your pair. Chapter has them here.
