Upper Playground and Chrome chose to feature the work of Sam Flores and Jeremy Fish, both San Francisco based artists whose art speaks to the bicycle subculture. Flores and Fish have created compelling designs that are embroidered on the front flap of the Chrome Bag. Jeremy Fish’s “Fowl Mood” design features an elaborate owl “wall paper” pattern, while Sam Flores’ “Angel of Death” art features one of his signature characters riding a bicycle amongst the clouds. This project has enabled both brands to fuse contemporary art with durable design. The Upper Playground & Chrome artist series messenger bags are available in limited quantities and will be sold exclusively at select lifestyle boutiques and through Upper Playground and Chrome retail stores.

Iconic messenger bag label Chrome makes their footwear debut this Fall. Committed to using the best materials, hardware and design, a number of bike specific features were worked into the sneakers, including: a Propulsion Plate stiffener to support the midsole with a slam pad; Cordura laces with steel aglets; reflective heel patch; and a small lip at the toe to assist flipping into pedals. There’s not a lot of nonsense in Chrome’s gear, just materials and construction that serve a purpose and are built to last. The footwear collection consists of low, mid and hi-cut sneakers with an earthy, red accented color palette. Available early September at Open Bicycle.
