For Holiday 2007, DC Artist Projects™ is proud to work with New York Artist SSUR, for the second time. The latest limited edition collection is comprised of a shoe, hat, fleece and jeans – the largest collection for the DC Artist Projects™ to date.
 
The design for the project was inspired by SSUR’s Russian heritage with a New York twist. Drawing colors and detailing from traditional Russian porcelain pieces, SSUR’s Artist Projects™ shoe features floral patterns and nude women around the shoes’ heel panels. The custom designed clear soles feature Coney Island’s famous Ferris wheel on one shoe and SSUR’s pirate ship imagery on the other. The SSUR denim shares the design of the shoes’ soles with the imagery embroidered on the pants back pockets and an embroidered ankle patch. A full zip sweatshirt and New Era cap with embroidered artwork
round out the collection.
 
The Russian born Ruslan Karablin, better known in the art/design world as SSUR, has been a constant in the NYC downtown art scene for almost 15 years. Growing up in Coney Island NY, SSUR entered the New York scene as an outside artist with no formal training. Three main subjects—sex, politics, and protest—have heavily influenced the SSUR aesthetic.
 
DC Artist Projects™ first collaborated with SSUR in 2005 with the creation of the SSUR high top shoe offered at three distinct levels. The most limited version, the black/silver shoe, featured actual stingray on the upper panels and has proved to be one of the most sought after shoes from the Artist Projects™ series.
Make sure to check out the accompanying video here below and all the product of the project after the jump.

10.Deep in conjunction with Supertouchblog.com, DR. Romanelli, LTD Magazine and Thunderdog Studios bring you “The Beast Within”, an art show featuring monster inspired art by 65 artists spanning the realms of street and fine art. We reported about the event already, when we presented the 10.Deep x Pushead t-shirt that is made especially for the occasion (see again here).

The Oct 30th event will be an invite only affair at The Showroom NYC, hosted by Mr. Kick Push Himself Lupe Fiasco. The Event will double as a pre release party for his upcoming album “The Cool”.

For the event 10.Deep will be giving away a special 10 Deep x New Era “Frankenstein” Fitted Pillbox cap. With only 100 on hand, you better make your way out there early!

Over the past couple of weeks we have played several video trailers introducing a much anticipated project between DC Shoes and JB Classics – the first sneaker-to-sneaker collaboration – Imminent. We see new collaborations every day and the word collaboration is many times being stretched. In this case two befriended brands that appreciate each other got together to create something special.
Both DC Shoes and JB Classics are known for their strong artist collaborations as well as excellent footwear. The two brands coming together and joining forces to create a sneaker had to be something interesting and to look out for. We digged a little deeper and had a talk with Jason from JB Classics, as well Damon, co-founder of DC Shoes, in order to find out how the project came together, what the outcome is and what the process was.
Read the Interview and see for the first time the sneaker, as well as the New Era cap and crewneck sweater that came out of the DC Shoes x JB Classics collaboration.

As the Fall season comes to an end, The Hundreds gets ready to release their next New Era cap, under the Elements theme. The cap features the trademark Jags pattern that one can find on many The Hundreds designs and tags, but here it comes for the first time on a New Era cap.
It looks like they will also release some t-shirt along with the cap, featuring a leaves print. Expect these goodies to hit the Hundreds store this coming Friday, October 25th.
