G-Shock Limited Releases | Redman, Mr. Cartoon, Todd Jordan

Today we can finally give you a more detailed look at the collaborative watches by G-Shock with Mr. Cartoon, Todd Jordan and Redman.

“To create the three new models, Casio has collaborated with a graphic artist, a photographer, and a hip-hop artist. The results are the Mr. Cartoon model (DW-6900MRC), the Todd Jordan model (DW-5600TOD), and the Redman model (AW-591RED).”

We especially like the Todd Jordan watch, which comes in a nice black/silver colorway with matching black screen and signature.

Nike Sportswear Livestrong Custom Bike Saddles | Mr. Cartoon

06 July 2009, 23.45 | Posted in Accessories, Sneakers | No comments »

Nike Sportswear Livestrong x Brooks Saddles x Mr. Cartoon
The Nike x Livestrong project just keeps getting better and better. As the latest extension to the campaign, Nike has created custom bike seats that match up with each shoe in the Stages collection. As many of you know, Mr Cartoons’ Livestrong AF1 was released, and subsequently sold out, across the country this past weekend. As such, the first saddle to be revealed is laser engraved with Mister Cartoon’s “LA” icon and some of his signature swirls. Although Brooks Saddles were used for the visual presentation, the saddle itself is not part of the Livestrong collection and is not a collaboration with Brooks. Unfortunately these saddles won’t be produced. Stay tuned for a look at more saddles by the likes of Futura and Busy P.
