New York’s Aaron Bondaroff aka ‘A-Ron the Downtown Don’ worked with Gap and (PRODUCT) RED™ on an Africa-themed tee. Hey, at least it’s for a good cause. Half the profits from Gap (PRODUCT) RED™ styles go to the global fund to fight AIDS. Your thoughts, faithful readers?

Dell Computers teams with three artists for their Product Red Studio 15 and 17 laptops. Proceeds from Product Red go to eliminating aids in Africa. The three people chosen to work on the project all have a unique connection to the issue and the continent. Joseph Amedokpo is an artist living and working in West Africa. Siohban Gunning lives in South Africa, and her art is inspired and informed by a wealth of travel throughout the region. Finally, Bruce Mau is a graphic designer and founder of the Center for Massive Change, located in Toronto. All approach the cause with the same vigor, and their own unique artistic outlook.

The Dell Product Red laptops are available now.

The product line-up for the Colette x Gap pop-up store gets more and more impressive. On top of the artist series t-shirts and customized Gap product, as well as grey fleece collection, there will also be a Converse Product Red Chuck Taylor High coming in mid September. 
The sneaker is limited to 200 pairs, which are split between New York and Paris. Hopefully we can show you soon some real images.
On a side note, the Onitsuka Tiger x Colette sneaker that we presented yesterday, will be released at Colette Paris this coming Saturday, September 6th, limited to 100 pairs.

A while back we reported about a special Sotheby’s auction that was put together by Damien Hirst and all proceeds were donated to the RED (Global Fund) foundation. Works by himself, Murakami, Koons and many other high profile artists went on sale in February on the auction.
To coincide with the auction (well, in the end a little bit later), Damien Hirst also created a series of t-shirts, featuring artworks from the auction. The t-shirts come in mens and womens sizes and feature an image of the artwork on the front and the signature by the artist who contributed the work on the back, below the (Product) RED logo. Our personal favorite is the Jeff Koons t-shirt that you see here above, but many other strong ones are in the offering. Of course all proceeds from the t-shirts also go to the Global Fund.
The t-shirts are now available for 30 Pounds each on Other Criteria, Damien Hirst’s website. Check out all t-shirts in the series after the jump.

Now the first skateboard company also joined the (Product) Red initiative.
Girl Skateboard Company will contribute the majority of its profits from their first (RED) Edition product to the global fight against AIDS. The skateboard deck designed by Andy Jenkins and endorsed by Eric Koston is a part of their current catalog for the spring/summer of 2008 and is available in skate shops worldwide.

The much anticipated Converse Chuck Taylor Lo in collaboration with Fragment Design has now been released in its red colorway. Just like the black one that released last year, this new version comes in red with matching red toe cap and white mid sole, featuring the Fragment logo embroidered on the side panel.
SlamJam has them in stock now. Have a look at detailed images after the jump.

In October, Converse will be releasing a PRODUCT RED sneaker in conjunction with the estate of graff-legend, Mr Dondi White (one of the founding fathers of graffiti as we know it).
The estate of the artist send over some old sketchbooks, out of which the Converse designers chose designs for the sneakers. There will be a more commercial white edition and a very limited black edition of the sneaker. Find out all the details of the project in the mini interview that Sneaker Freaker held with the Converse head designer on this project here.
Check out pictures of both colorways with all the incredible details after the jump.
