We present you the new Supreme Fall/Winter 2009 Collection. The New York brand once again does not disappoint. The collection is very complete and offers a wide range of t-shirts, shirts, outerwear, hoodies, sweaters, 5-panel caps, New Era caps and accessories. The outerwear is looking really good this season, with the Barbour inspired waxed cotton jacket, the peacoat and the technical layer jacket being our favorites. The beanie and New Era cap offering is also very strong, yet the accessories stand out more. They present a knife, playing cards and other interesting items. Also they offer again their own footwear style this season, this time a mid suede sneaker. Supreme has collaboratied with Disney on a couple of Mickey pieces this season and with Hanes on some basic white t-shirts. The skatedecks this season come in a leopard look. The luggage collection also looks very nice, and consists of backpacks, messenger bags, waist bags and little carabiner pouches, all featuring a grid pattern on the upper.
The new Supreme Fall/Winter 2009 Collection will be available in US stores from September 3rd and in Japan from September 5th.

Huf recruited five professional skateboard legends, who are also talented artists, to create a summer skateboard series. Lance Mountain, Nata Kaupas, Tommy Guerrero, Steve Olson and Mark Gonzales were each given carte blanche (the only parameters given were that the artwork be in black and white) to create their own Huf deck, right down to the shape. Decks were produced in limited runs of 100 to 150, with each board being hand-screened, laser numbered and laser signed. A matching t-shirt featuring all five signatures was also released. Available now in-store at Huf.

Element has collaborated with Imaginary Foundation on a series of skatedecks.
“The Imaginary Foundation is a think tank from Switzerland that does experimental research on new ways of thinking and the power of the imagination. They hold dear a belief in human potential and seek progress in all directions. The small clandestine team is headed up by the mysterious “Director,” a 70 something uber intellectual who’s father founded the Dadist movement. Avoiding direct publicity the team has sought streetwear as an unlikely vehicle for bringing their ideas beyond the academic realm and into popular culture.”
Visually the graphics by Imaginary Foundation have always been directly identifiable, which is also the case with the skatedecks. Look out for a release in the coming weeks.
