In an interesting collaboration French luxury leather brand Hoon got together with high end video game system makers Neo Legend to product a joystick.

“Manufactured in a specialised Parisian workshop, everything was entirely made by hand. The midnight blue and white arcade stick of lacquered oak wood and corners cased in ostrich leather bring a unique aesthetic to the videogame world.

HOON called upon NEO LEGEND, the arcade specialist in Europe, to design the technical parts. The arcade stick is composed of the best arcade technologies: a full panel by Sanwa, compatible with Playstation 3, XBOX 360, and PC.”

The arcade stick HOON ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM will be available from the boutique NEO LEGEND in Paris and at www.hoon.fr starting February 18, 2011.

Take a further look at the joystick after the jump.

Hoon’s first collaboration is staying true to its luxury street wear roots by working with The Perfect Unison, a young french brand of top-range audio item. You might have heard about the brand before, as their first collaboration was with Dutch artist Parra.

This association has created Hoon x The Perfect Unison headphones – a new generation headphones that bring luxury and technical expertise together. The headphones are made to measure using both the newest technical methods and traditional French techniques.

The frame is made from nine layers of birch wood and covered in python skin on the exterior side and goat skin on the side closest to the head. The earpieces are made entirely from polished carbon fibre which is then varnished by hand.

The Hoon x The Perfect Unison headphones use the best audio technology, making it a quality professional product. Look out for a release at Colette on June 23rd.

Many detailed images of both colorways of the Hoon x The Perfect Unison Headphones follow after the jump.

Paris based Hoon made a name for itself as a high end jewelry line to date. Today we present you their first venture into clothing. The Hoon Clothing Collection only consists of leather jackets, translating well their philosophy of jewelry into clothing. Only the finest leathers were used and nice metal details make a good finish. Most pieces were inspired in terms of look and fit of the classic baseball jacket, but with a more fitted silhouette.
Have a detailed look at the first Hoon collection after the jump.
