Size? x Nike Urban Safari Pack - Drop 2

First off I want to apologise to everyone for stepping out of the game for a bit. I've been so busy with work and other projects that I've neglected this.

I've seen that y'all have been hyping on the first release of the Urban Safari Park and now it's the Roshe Run's turn. It's becoming a signature silhouette now and it's getting an ACG inspired re-do. They've kept it minimal, which I'm pleased about. Made up of the typical Roshe leather uppers, speckle sole and dashes of Hyper Blue to break it up a little. It's also available in the Black/Poison Green-Pink colourway. 

These will be dropping this week on Friday 14th, RRP £80.

DQM Spring Collection 2013

I've always been pretty eager to see what DQM have in store each season. TheNew York skate shop seems to never let down. They've made a name for themselves mixing the aesthetic of workwear with skateboarding. The Spring collection is yet again appropriate and full of the essentials. Including colour-block anoraks, short sleeved denim shirts, shorts and a selection of hunting inspired hats. 

The collection is now online and available in store.

Hanon x Saucony Shadow Master 

I'm a big fan of Saucony's and it's nice to see a collaboration with Hanon. The Shadow Master is a running shoe which Hanon have mixed two of their favourite silhouettes from Saucony's designs. They've combined the Master Control with the sole of a Shadow 5000. It's different and the colours and fabric used has been executed well that it works. Of course there is also detailing, Hanon putting their stamp on it which brings it all together. 

Release date March 2nd. Get saving!
