The new Nike Co-(Lab) series has been released. The last one was a collaboration with Wood Wood, Call of the Wild and this time Nike got together with Experimental Jet Set and Kam Tang.
Experimental Jet Set is a Grahic Design Unit out of Amsterdam. For the project they created a t-shirt and a windrunner with the slogan “To Hell With Gravity”. The slogan also returns on the windrunner as an all-over print. Kam Tang is an Illustrator from London, that has already worked on projects with Wired, Wallpaper, Arena and many others. Also Kam Tang has already created advertising campaigns for Nike, Adidas and Sony before. For the Nike Co-(Lab) project he designed two hoodies, in yellow and charcoal, featuring an all over design.
All hoodies in the Co-(Lab) series can be split in the middle and matched with one another. The new Nike C0-(Lab) Fall 2007 pieces, in collaboration with Experimental Jet Set and Kam Tang are now available at End Clothing.

The Big Geezers Tour 2007 – a Carhartt paint trip through Scandinavia and East Europe. Eight respected artists are hitting the road in a giant night liner to join forces and spread love, peace and friendship across the cities: Microbo (Italy), Joska (Germany), Jeremy Fish (USA), Wayne Horse (Netherlands), Bo 130 (Italy), The London Police (UK), Galo (Italy) and Will Barras (UK) – all part of the Big Geezers family.
In the last years Carhartt has supported and worked closely with many artists and therefore it seems natural to pay tribute to the Big Geezers and initiate this one time road trip. After the Tour D’Amour last summer through South Europe, Carhartt now discovers the North and the East: Copenhagen, Oslo, Warsaw, Budapest, Vienna, and Bratislava – 6 Stops and 5500km in 3 weeks.
The term “Big Geezers” stands for a group of artists doing something together. Originally the idea comes from Chaz, the man behind the London Police. He is the one uniting all the Big Geezers to one force – in this case a paint trip.
Not only do all participating artists contribute their artworks at each location, they also created a Carhartt Big Geezers Clothing collection, that consists of t-shirts, hoodies, sticker bags and some other pieces. We present you here the complete collection, something you do not want to miss out on.

Here a pretty cool new project by Life Lounge – 22 Flavors. They brought together 22 artists from around the globe to design t-shirts. Here the exact run down.
“Just like a fat kid trying to suck choc chip ice off his own chest, we¹ve decided to combine two of our great loves in life: food and t-shirts. To get the ice cream ball rolling, we’ve asked 22 of the sweetest artists and designers from around the world to come up with their own t-shirt design based on one of our 22 delicious flavours. Each design will then be printed onto 22 limited edition tees and made available exclusively for 22 day right here on lifelounge.com. And if that wasn¹t sweet enough, proceeds from all sales will then go to charity to help feed the homeless.”
Part of the line-up are Mishka, Wemoto, Stefan Marx, Buff Monster and others. Make sure to check back once the t-shirts drop!
