The good folks at SuperTouch weren’t too far off when they mentioned the lack of dynamism over at ArtNews. It is, for lack of better phrasing, the old guard of contemporary art. However, and perhaps for the best (worst?), they’ve come around to the Street Art Movement. “Street Art Gets Hot!” reads November’s cover. Yes, we already knew that. Yes, the proclimation from this publication is like a nail in the coffin of hip and cool.

Negativity aside, the keynote article by Caroline Miranda, A Two Way Street, properly and succenctly presents the core issues surrounding Street Art and its progression within the mainstream art world. For those interested in the constant debates over definition and the arguments over mass market presentation of artists like Swoon, Miranda’s essay is a worthy read. And, surely, like us you’ll see some merit in a piece that is not without fault. (And, there are no excuses to miss it, it’s free online).

Kaws once again worked on a magazine cover, something we have seen more often from the artist recently. After working on an entire iD issue and on a couple of pages of Complex magazine, he has now worked on Japanese magazine Eyescream. The cover features Chaki Kuriyama dressed in Original Fake and decorated with Kaws art. Image via Bare.

Aside from that, the magazine also covers Madsaki, Hiroshi Fujiwara and others. A larger image of the cover follows after the jump.

French sneaker magazine Shoes-Up has collaborated with Lacoste on the Missouri. Paying homage to the classic hat that is worn in France and Basque Lands, where René Lacoste is from, the sneaker comes entirely covered in wool. Matching the wool look, the Lacoste crocodile logo also comes in black rubber. The inner sole features the Shoes-Up crest logo. The outcome is one of the best Lacoste sneakers that we have seen this year, perfect for the fall season.

The Shoes-Up x Lacoste Missouri will be coming in a hat box, along with a 148 page book, featuring photographs by Charles Levy. The sneakers are limited to 160 pairs worldwide and will be released at Colette, Dover Street Market, Limited Edition and five more stores around France.
