To round off a successful year, Onitsuka Tiger is focusing on the cat – the animal that, according to Japanese folklore, came last in a race organised by the Jade Emperor. In preparation for this, they asked two creative partners, StudioAnti and Washio Tomoyuki, to create trainer designs inspired by this creature. The result is two streetwise styles: one influenced by the rough-and-ready ally cat and the other based on a make-believe world where cats are bigger than humans. Both creatives worked on the Onitsuka Tiger X-Caliber model and the outcome could not be any different. While the Studio Anti sneaker is very clean, Washio Tomoyuki added a bold all-over graphic to the sneakers. Both colorways are being released at Onitsuka Tiger dealers this month.

A little while ago we reported about a new German culture site – Artschoolvets. Beginning of the month they have now also launched a Designer/Artist T-Shirt Series. Mostly local, but also some international designers and artists created t-shirts for the portal. The outcome is a line-up of overall 23 t-shirts. The designs are very diverse, so everybody should find a good match.
Participating artists included Marok (above), Jody Barton (above), Skism, Paze, Daniel Josefsohn, Mirko Borsche, Studio Anti and many others – all in all a very strong line-up.
All t-shirts are now available in limited quantities in the Artschoolvets Online Store. Make sure to have a look!

The new Fiberops Spring 2008 collection has started dropping at a few stores. Here some of the t-shirts that are available now at In4mation. As usual Fiberops presents strong graphics, different in style from most other brands out there.
