This week Louis Vuitton will be celebrating the launch of the Stephen Sprouse collection in their Soho flagship store. For the occasion the store will be entirely wrapped in Stephen Sprouse graffiti and among the special items to release is also the above skateboard.

“For instance, the company is wrapping the store in vinyl and spray painting neon graffiti all over the facade. The window display will feature a 6-foot neon light installation in Sprouse’s Rose motif. The store’s interior, enhanced with black brick wall facing, will also be sprayed with the neon graffiti.

The collection will launch in its entirety at the SoHo boutique on Thursday. The complete worldwide launch will follow on Feb. 2, though the Rose pieces will be available at Louis Vuitton stores worldwide starting Friday.

For the launch, the luxury goods company is also creating two limited edition pieces, which will only be available at the SoHo location: a Stephen Sprouse graffiti skateboard replete with a hard case monogram skateboard trunk, and a Stephen Sprouse “Roses” T-shirt. The company hopes to sell three graffiti skateboards with trunks for $8,250 each, and 70 T-shirts for $250 each. “I don’t expect them to last very long,” Lalonde said. “By Friday, there probably won’t be any more left.” “Via WWD.

The price tag of the skateboard is definitely pretty high, but it is a great collectors item.

First pieces of the new BBC/Ice Cream Fall 2008 collection are getting into stores today. The first thing that jumps into the eye is their new Mid cut sneaker. In this first delivery it comes in a red/white and a black/white colorway. They also released their deck sneaker in two canvas colorways – red and black. All footwear comes with a "Diamond & Dollars" all-over print on the upper.
Matching the new sneaker line-up, BBC/Ice Cream offers a range of luggage, including duffle bags and backpacks, in red, black as well as military green.
In our modest opinion, the silhouettes of the footwear are good, just give them a more subtle design and you are good to go.
Leaders has the entire range in stock now.
Detailed views of all sneakers and the bags follow after the jump.

Born in Belgrade Serbia, street photographer Boogie possesses a rare talent for documenting the human condition. His black and white photographs capture the character and the inhabitants of some of the most tumultuous cities in the world.
Traditionally photojournalism focuses more on content–recording a moment or an event–and less upon formal concerns. However, Boogie gracefully integrates both a documentarian’s eye with a finely honed artistic sensibility. Many of his images are at once deeply poignant, and totally unsettling.
Boogie’s work has taken him from Serbia, to Cuba and throughout South America. In his new book, Sao Paulo, he features his remarkable impressions from one of Brazil’s poorest and most troubled urban metropolises. Boogie has also produced a new skate deck featuring his photography.
Both the deck and the book are now available here.
More images of both the deck and the book after the jump.
