After several early previews and much anticipation, the Forum x The Hundreds Snowboards and Special Blend x The Hundreds outerwear will be releasing this week.

After the recent The Hundreds x Medicom Toy collaboration and works with Gravis and eS, The Hundreds has completed yet another high profile project with two leading brands in their respective markets.

Together with Forum, The Hundreds worked on two snowboards. The uppers come in a rather subtle black, carrying the inconic The Hundreds all-over camo print. The bottoms are more colorful and feature repetitive patterns.

Together with Special Blend, The Hundreds created two sets of outerwear, one coming in a chocolate brown and the other one in a turquoise/yellow/pink combination. Bottom line there is something for everybody in the collaboration.

Both the Forum snowboards and the Special Blend outerwear, will be releasing at The Hundreds LA and SF this coming Thursday, December 4th.

Over the years we have seen many interesting projects from snowboard outerwear brand 686. For their Autumn/Winter 2008/09 season they once again present two collaborative projects, this time with Levi’s and Famous Stars And Straps.
Together with Famous Starts And Straps, 686 produced a full winter outerwear collection, consisting of beanies, New Era caps, hoodies, jackets and pants. The most prominent piece in the collection features a visual collage history of Famous.
The collaboration with Levi’s is more out thing, as it is more subtle and perfectly fuses the technological know-how of 686 and the heritage design of Levi’s, using breathable materials as well as Levi’s rivets and stitching details on all pieces. Also several pieces use actual Levi’s denim.
Have a detailed look after the jump at both the 686 x Famous Stars And Straps collection as well as the 686 x Levi’s collection.

Since a couple of months we have heard rumors about Stone Island working with the design team behind Acronym on an upcoming Fall/Winter ‘08 capsule collection. We could not imagine a better fit. Both brands are known for high quality outerwear with lots of technical features and material research involved. Now we finally came across some more information on “The Shadow Project” and can also show you a first piece of the line.
“Stone Island’s Shadow project began as a discourse between Sportswear Company owner Carlo Rivetti and the design team of Michaela Sachenbacher and Errolson Hugh, also known as Acronym. A platform for exploration, the Shadow project rapidly evolved into a system based program for a new generation of urban masculine apparel.
