The YOD character by Amos Toys will release in a new wooden version. We have seen wooden toys from Kaws over the last couple of years and once again we have to say that we really like the combination of a playful modern character toy with the more traditional looks of wood. Handmade, the toy will release July 2nd in the Amos Toy online store, limited to only 30 pieces.

In this edition of “Talking __ With …” we chat about Amos with illustrator James Jarvis, who recently joined forces with KK Outlet in London for an in-store Amos retrospective and pop-up shop. The KK Outlet Pop-Up Store will open its doors tomorrow in London. Have a peek inside the mind of a true creative individual in our latest Q & A.

How does your local community/environment influence your work?

I try to pick up any litter I see floating around our local park. I often fantasize about designing an anti-littering poster so mind-blowingly effective that no one drops their crap on the ground ever again, but so far I haven’t managed it.

For the month of May 2011, KK Outlet will be showcasing a series of Amos vinyl toys, art and more.

“For the first time in London Amos will showcase a retrospective collection of their plastic and vinyl classic toys alongside a pop-up store selling a few long sold out Amos collectables rarities and difficult-to-find products. There will also be an opportunity to have photos taken with a couple of exclusive, 5ft Caleb figures specially created for the workshop.

AMOS artist James Jarvis will exhibit recent drawings in KK Outlet’s side gallery. These drawings represent a catalogue of James Jarvis’ interests and obsessions of the past two years. Whilst featuring some familiar faces, they also reflect his concern in taking character design to new and different places. The gallery will offer a rare opportunity to buy original Jarvis artwork.”

The store will sell some great pieces from the Amos back catalogue, as well as introduce completely new toys and product from Amos. The exhibition and pop-up space runs from May 6th until May 31st.

We present to you six Collaborations spawned from Nike Sportswear’s desire to celebrate the beautiful game of football in a way that connects to the national team fans who dwell at the intersection of sports and culture. In 2006, Nike collaborated with a group of artists to curate and design environments and spaces that represented their countries, but there was no product connection to this partnerships. This year, Nike worked with established and emerging artists from six countries to create alternative National Team Kits that flip the script on the classic football kit.

Each collaboration includes N98 Track Jacket, AW 77 hoodie, kit tee, polo shirt and short for both men and women; then tee for men and tank for women.

Each kit includes a selection of Nike Sportswear footwear coordinated with the apparel. In addition to a team-color customized Nike LunarLite Rejuven8 Mid and Air Max BW Gen II, additional silhouettes such as Air Zoom Tiempo, Dunk High AC, Air Footscape Freemotion and Nike LunarLite Chukka Woven have been selected to provide plenty of options to express team pride.

While British graphic artist James Jarvis is best known for his playful illustrations and contributions to the designer toy phenomenon, he takes his sports seriously. At first glance, his interpretation of the England crest stays true to the national archetype, but up close the designs are all Jarvis: his heraldic lion flashing a trademark googly-eyed grin. Jarvis drew from medieval woodblock prints for inspiration, and the “10” on the chest is traditionally reserved for the most beautiful players of the game.

The Nike Sportswear x James Jarvis England Kit includes the Air Zoom Tiempo, Air Footscape Freemotion and the Air LunarLite Rejuven8 Mid. Furthermore the mascot designed by the artist appears on team polos and the AW77 hoodie.

Detailed images of the all product from the Nike Sportswear x James Jarvis Collaboration follow after the jump.
