White Mountaineering has been one of our favorite Japanese brands of late, and their latest footwear is no exception. Taking clear inspiration from the Vans Old Skool silhouette, the White Mountaineering Standard sneaker comes in either black and white or black on black with a tonal camouflage printed upper. The oversized foxing stripe on the midsole make these a nice alternative to Vans for this summer, though the price of ¥18,900 (approx. $193 USD) may nullify that argument for most. Available now at Figure Shizuoka through Star-J.

The new Bape Spring/Summer ‘08 collection is coming into stores. As much as we were sick of seeing the shark/tiger hoodies, camouflage x milo pieces and sneakers, we still appreciate the subtle pieces by the Japanese brand. Because without a doubt, there are still very few brands in our market, that reach the quality standards of A Bathing Ape.
The most recent piece that we came across is this black camouflage Gore-Tex Blazer. A nice piece, practical and can be used on many occasions and the gore-tex is also a nice feature until the summer season really kicks in. Now available at Cliff Edge.
