This season’s Melton Wool Varsity Jacket by Wings + Horns is in our opinion the by far strongest varsity jacket out. We have previewed it before and today we give you a look at a small collaboration with Cool Cats on the jacket. The French crew chose the navy/black version of the jacket and added a Cool Cats patch to the chest, keeping it overall subtle. They only made a small run of the jacket and it will be released late October.

In recent weeks, news of the Stages project has been plentiful. This weekend will see the latest development, as Cool Cats and Nike open a pop up shop to celebrate both the launch of Busy P’s Livestrong Air Force 1 and the arrival of Le Tour de France in Paris.

In addition to the much anticipated Busy P Air Force 1, Cool Cats are launching their second season at the Yellow Shop. Several new So Me designed t-shirts are presented, limited to 100-200 pieces each. Special products such Livestrong colored posters, serigraphs and stickers will also be on hand — and of course members of the Cool Cats and Ed Banger family will be present, serving up ice cream and cupcakes all weekend.

The Busy P Livestrong Air Force 1 will see two separate releases, on both Saturday, July 25th and Sunday, July 26th at 11am at Cool Cats Yellow Shop. Be there or be there!

The Panasonic Lumix range has been interesting since its inception, bringing high quality Leica lenses into the mass market and thus making a quality camera more affordable. Their latest model to release is the DMC G-1, which is the first larger size camera to come from them, bringing the functionality of a big reflex camera, the G-1 gives you the choice between the two at all times. Also it is very light and still compact.

Now, what does this have to do with Busy “P”? Well, we were asking ourselves the same question. The DJ and producer took the G-1 to the Justice tour and the 200 pictures that he took are preloaded on each camera! It is now available for 850 Euros at colette.

Nike Sportswear introduces the Busy P x Air Force 1 to the US, created in partnership with global innovator Pedro Winter aka Busy P as part of the 1WORLD series. Busy P is an electro house DJ, producer, label manager, and entertainer extraordinaire.

To design the Air Force 1 of his dreams, Pedro enrolled the services of So-Me, house art director of Ed Banger Records. Pedro likes his sneakers to be as bright and extravagant as possible, while So-Me has a very sober and classic taste in footwear. The two argued so much about what should be on the shoe that they decided to tell that story…on the shoe itself! “We thought it’d be a cool idea to let the shoe be a testimony of our friendly yet passionate dispute…battling it out on each foot.”

From the colors and materials to the stitching, every detail was the object of child-like squabbles between Busy P and So-Me. In the end, both are happy: the inside of the shoe is as slick and elegant as So-Me wanted the design, while the outside is as over-the-top as Busy P envisioned it. Pedro says, “I want my shoe to be a symbol for people who don’t take themselves too seriously.”

The Busy P x Air Force 1 will be available exclusively at the following retailers:

Nike Sportswear at 21 Mercer

Arkitip released their second Chronicle. This time they did a video interview with Pedro “Busy P” Winter, the head of Ed Banger Records. Definitely a good watch, so check it out here.

Even though the 25th anniversary is over, Nike continues to role out interesting collaborations. Later this year the Nike Air Force 1 x Busy P “Pedro In Paris” is supposed to be released, according to KATC.
“Busy P is an electro house DJ, Producer, manager (Daft Punk) and owner of Ed Banger records. In creating the “Pedro in Paris” Nike Air Force 1, Busy P used the classic silhouette as a literal canvas to capture his thoughts while designing the sneaker, doodling cartoons and phrases throughout the Premium Black Leather upper, including a small paragraph detailing his struggle to keep the design simple. After “saving” the upper by “keeping it black”, Busy P admits to not being able to “save” the midsole which features a Rainbow gradient. The Pedro in Paris Nike Air Force 1 is topped with a Blue Patent Swoosh and a Pink lining.”
After the jump some more detailed images of the sneaker.
