Stacks is back and we presented you their first product offering a while back. Today we get a look at some interesting new skateboard decks that the brand has in the pipeline. Eric Elms designed a deck and also released a matching booklet with it. Stacks presents its own dot board series and Reese Forbes created the Beetles Boards. For sure a nice line-up that you can look forward to.

Carhartt worked with two of our favorite designers for Spring/Summer 2010 on a series of t-shirts. Both Eric Elms and Benny Gold designed a series of tees, mixing Carhartt graphics and heritage with their own respective styles. Look out for these tees in stores soon.

Almost two years after opening their doors, the Stussy DC Chapter is set to begin a monthly release of exclusive tees. This new program will feature artwork from different artists and designers such as Eric Elms, Omar Quiambao, Jason Rodman and more.

The month of December ‘09 marks the first month of the program. The first tee refers to a nickname given to Washington D.C. by the legendary funk band Parliament in 1975. P-Funk enjoyed the love the city showed to the now legendary band and immortalized D.C. in their album “Chocolate City”.

The second tee features the artwork of Eric Elms, who was commissioned by the DC Chapter in 2008 to create two art-installation pieces for the shop. The “My Way All Day” tee is a two dimensional representation of his sculpture that adorns the shop.

The “Chocolate City” and “My Way All Day” tees will be released this Saturday at Stussy DC.

Legendary workwear label Carhartt unveils their Fall/Winter 2009 Streetwear line. Established in 1889 by Hamilton Carhartt, the brand offered rugged construction, innovative design and exceptional standards of quality, durability and comfort for skilled trade workers. In 1997, the first selection of European specific pieces were added to the regular collection marking a more street-focused look. Today, Carhartt is known for its work with recognised artists and strong presence in many different subcultures, while sticking to the core ideas established over 120 years ago. An impressive selection of accessories and outerwear highlight the release. A series of t-shirts designed by Eric Elms are also of particular interest. Visit Carhartt-Streetwear.com for more info.

Having remained somewhat behind-the-scenes working with brands such as Supreme, Undefeated and Silly Thing, Eric “Adorn” Elms vaults himself into the spotlight with a signature pair of Vans. Marking an entirely new Vans style, the Elms come in tonal green, black or maroon with a mix of suede and canvas uppers. The lowered foxing stripe is a nice touch, setting it apart from your standard Vans vulc sole. Now available at Bows & Arrows.

With the release of the Asics x Patta Gel Lyte Speed Pack only days away, we present you the complete package today. There are not only three sneakers with matching jackets, but also matching backpacks. The participating artists Eric Elms, Parra and Delta put their designs onto the sneaker insoles and the linings of the jackets. We are not sure if there is also some design on the backbacks, for now it does not look like it.

The sneakers are limited to 100 pairs per design, each coming with a backpack. The jacket is limited to 30 pieces per design and is sold separately. The release takes place at Patta on January 31rst.

Now check out some more detailed images of the complete packs after the jump.

A couple of years ago Amsterdam based store Patta put Asics back onto the sneaker map with their collaboration. Today we present you their upcoming collaboration project with Asics and three of the most respected artists in this culture – Eric Elms, Delta and Parra.

They worked on the Gel Lytespeed with Asics in three colorways on the exterior. The influence and work of the respective artists only becomes apparent when looking at the interior of the sneakers. The Delta sneaker comes in black, the Elms sneaker in purple and the Parra sneaker in red.

They once again managed to create a fantastic line-up of sneakers. Nothing too heady on the exterior, but strong color combinations with all the details on the interior. The white mid sole gives the sneakers a clean finish. You can be sure that these will be gone fast.

Additional goodies coming along with the pack, as well as other retailers that will be getting it, will be announced soon. The pack will be released at Patta on January 31rst.
