While at the Bread&Butter trade show last week, we had the chance to catch up with Fraser Avey and Matt George from Ransom, alongside Ben Pruess from adidas to get some more insight on the successful Ransom by adidas collection. If you’re wondering, the above sight to behold is another angle of the forthcoming Fall 2010 “Crest” Boot.

The three collectively answered a few questions on the Ransom by adidas program. Take the leap and read up!

After Stussy Toronto, the next city in Canada that Matt George is opening up in is Vancouver. On the 21rst of June they are first opening a concept store that will carry the much anticipated Stussy x Neighborhood Boneyards collection. The concept store will be open for 3 months and then Vancouver will see a full blown Chapter store shortly after. 
Here we give you already a preview of the upcoming concept store. More images after the jump.

In terms of retail outlets Stussy has always been very prominent in Japan, with overall 48 flagship stores. Always impressive to hear that number. But in 2007 and continuing in 2008 the brand his also increasing their presence on their home market again. Just recently we reported about the Stussy Hawaii flagship store, opened with Jules Gayton of Leilow.
2008 will see another few interesting openings by the brand. The next one to follow is Washington and who else could they have teamed up with, but with Commonwealth owner Omar Quiambao. Not only will they open a Stussy Chapter Store soon, they will also open For The Greater Good, a more mature store for customers that have gotten too old for the Commonwealth brand range. More information once we get closer to the opening.
Also in the next couple of months, we will see the opening of the first Stussy flagship store in Canada. It’s actually surprising that it took so long. The Toronto store will be opened and managed by Matt George, owner of the Goodfoot chain, Nomad and Ransom. Yet another perfect candidate and for sure we will see interesting collaborations from this new partnership.
We hope that Stussy will also start making some more moves in Europe, but for now its the North American turn! Via DNR.

We have reported about the Colnago trackbike frames designed by Futura and Stash for the “Look Ma, No Brakes” event that went down in Canada this past weekend. We also presented you previous products for the event (check again here).
The event, organized by Canada’s United Front has some more specials waiting for you, as now presented by Matt George. Accessories include bike socks, bike caps and logo t-shirts with the exhibition name printed on the front. The caps and socks are designed matching the trackbikes the two artists have designed.
Overall a very round project, soon more on it. After the jump you can check out the latest t-shirts.
