Lemar & Dauley Fall/Winter '06

A mixture of street & sport is how they describe their brand, and when you look at the fall/winter '06 collection you understand why. Back to serve the public, Lemar & Dauley's current collection draws inspiration from A Rebel's Racket, Skybox Trading Cards, Reaganomics, Nintendo, and more. By invoking the nostalgia of these iconic personalities of the late 80s and early 90s throughout the collection, you can see L&D is trying to inform street culture/street wear of a time when legends were bred and that even when they're no longer here, their legacy will never die. Serve to Preserve, "Game, Set, Match."

Lemar & Dauley Fall/Winter '06 out now. It's always chain snatching season...

Lemar & Dauley Blesses Kid Robot

The new Kid Robot Clothing Collection launched in all Kid Robot stores today. And from my sources, I've heard the whole collection has sold out in New York City store already. Slow and steady definitely doesn't win this race. A part of the collection to drop this Fall, were two pieces that were designed by our GFC brothers over at Lemar & Dauley. Check the pieces out below, to check out the rest of the Kid Robot Clothing collection, click HERE

Dr. Romanelli x Bodega = Jordan "Reconstruct" Line

Back at it again is Dr. Romanelli with Bodega, the illest store on this side of the Mississippi...lol (I just wanted to say that). The Bodega crew went on a treasure hunt looking for vintage Jordan pieces. They then submitted their findings to Dr. Romanelli to bring them to life. With that being done, the Jordan Collection is one of the freshest "Reconstruct" lines thus far. The the collection of jackets will drop exclusively at the Boston store. Knowing anything Jordan is a sellout, those who are able to get their hands on one or several of these pieces is a lucky b@5t@rd.

Collaboration

So I was outside the aNYthing store in the L.E.S., with my dude Steve-O, and we spotted an ill as collaboration. This sh*t here, will revolutionize the medium in which cross-branding and promotional efforts will be done ;).

Trainerspotter on High Snobiety

They are definitely a brand to look out for, as they make their debut in the states real soon.

Let's Have A Roast

Blogging now a days is as original as starting your own t-shirt line. Yea, it's a great way for folks to stay up to date with the "goings-on," but it seems that every blog is covering the same news, brands, and people. Then comes along a new blog site by the name of Don't Believe The Hypebeast that covers the same news and issues as many hundreds of blogs, but from a new and different perspective...They're roasting the current state street-wear and culture.

Don’t Believe the Hypebeast is a satirical look at the current state
of “streetwear.”

This is the commentary/observations of a few fashion forward people
who were once impressed with an innovative and dynamic niche market
full of talented designers/brands who’ve since thrown creativity to
the wind and produced a lackluster assortment of product that borrows
(i.e. steals) from more established cultural entities.

After seeing the vast array of boring and predominantly overpriced
“streetwear” that has flooded the market in the last year, we decided
to give our thoughts regarding the recycled product and circle-jerk
mentality that continues to perpetuate it.

If you/your brand get offended by anything you read here, then your
all over print hoodie and quickstrike Dunks are probably too tight.

Oh boy, I wish I had of thought about this myself; this blog is genius. It's well-executed and hilarious. This is Don't Believe The Hypebeast is definitely bookmark worthy blog.
