For this Holiday 2011 season, Generic Surplus has offered up their take on the Duck Boot. These probably are not ideal for inclement weather due to the fact they feature a canvas upper (the grey is actually a canvas/nubuck), but as far as styling goes, these are a good option. Check out Vendor if you’re interested in picking these up.

Take another look after the jump.

Japanese retailer Beauty & Youth gets together with Generic Surplus on two collaborative versions of their low top Borstal sneakers. A warm wool upper and leather heel make the sneaker more appropriate for the colder weather. Hiking boot laces act as nice contrasting accents. Look out for a release of the sneakers soon.

For Spring 2012, Generic Surplus teams with L.A.-based artist and designer Steven Harrington on a special edition pair of Desert Boots. For the project, Harrington embellished the ankle collar of the boot with various glyphs that circle around the heel, while the tongue features a large “&” symbol.

The shape and materials are good on these and there’s a poster that goes along with the release too. Agenda sighting.

For Spring 2011 Generic Surplus has not only teamed up with Wood Wood and Comme des Garcons SHIRT, but also with Obey on a pair of sneakers. The two brands decided to mesh up two styles from the Generic Surplus collection, creating a mix of a boat shoe and a dock shoe, featuring metal eyelets and work-wear laces. The plimsol sneaker features minimal branding on the tongue and the footbed, resulting in an overall very clean looking sneaker. The Mesh Borstal sneaker comes in three colorways, priced at 65 USD and will release Summer 2011.

The launch of the sneaker will be celebrated with an event on March 25th, at Space 15 Twenty in LA.

Many detailed images of the sneaker follow after the jump.

Generic Surplus and Danish label Wood Wood have come together to launch a bike shoe for spring.

Combining the spirit of modern day L.A. with chic Scandinavian minimalism, the laid-back, refined designs that characterize the Generic Surplus brand is paired with Wood Wood’s practical sophistication, resulting in a stylish yet functional mid-top shoe that is as ideal for a bike ride through Copenhagen as it is cycling down the Santa Monica Boardwalk.

The sneaker is based on the Generic Surplus Olney, and is upgraded in weather resistant treated canvas with an overlay toe cap, extra seams and a non-skid rubber for better grip.

Selectism has a great quote on the new line from Generic Surplus. “The… collection maintains the momentum that it has built up over the past 7 seasons and further refines and defines it’s ethos of simplicity and wearability. The color story and materials are inspired from vintage hunting and fishing catalogs from the 1950’s. Wool has been added in heather, olives and greys, to add to the richness of suedes, canvas, and textured leathers.”
