Just like every season, footwear brands Creative Recreation offers next to their regular in-line product a couple of styles, which are exclusive to Barneys New York.
This Fall 2008 season they present two Cesarios, one Cesario Lo and one Dicoco. We have to admit that this seasons Barneys Exclusives are a little less exciting than usual. We do not see any material of design upgrades compared to the in-line product, unlike in previous seasons.
Nevertheless a solid line-up of sneakers. More images after the jump.
A while back we reported about the upcoming collaboration of pro-skater Paul Rodriguez and bag makers Incase. Today we can give you a first look at the Skate Bag coming out of this collaborative project.
The skate bag has space for all your skateboarding equipement, including the board, sneakers, as well as many other little pouches and spaces for anything else that you could need on the road.
Let's face it, to date skate bags have always been looking a little strange. Incase brings the first good looking bag in this area. The Paul Rodriguez x Incase Skate Bag will be released on the 2nd of September.

Studs have been quite the success in recent sneaker creations. We have seen it in the John Varvatos For Converse collection, recently in the Nike Rock Pack, and soon Supra will offer their popular Skytop in a studded version as well.
The Supra Skytop Black Stud comes with a patent leather upper and feature studs over the side of the sneaker and next to the laces. Via Sneaker Freaker.
The Supra Skytop Black Stud will be released very soon.
We take a look at some t-shirts coming from one of our favorite UK labels, Call Of The Wild. The line-up that we present you here is out of their Spring 2009 collection,which means that it will still take a while before they get into stores.
Call Of The Wild presents a nice set of graphics t-shirts for Spring 2009, where we have seen mostly paneled t-shirts in previous seasons. It will make for a nice balance in the coming season.
More images of the t-shirts follow after the jump.
It is that time of the year again, Supreme is presenting their new Fall/Winter 2008 collection.
The new Supreme collection works with a lot of plaid, we see it on jackets, shirts, 5 panel caps as well as New Era Caps this season. In general workwear is once again a big inspiration, especially when looking at the jacket line-up of the season. Branding is in most cases subtle. The heavy-weight hoodies come with little embroidery this season and are more basic - there is a series of polka dot hoodies and a series of striped hoodies. The leather offering is quiet large, consisting of short stadium jackets, as well as heavy parkas and leather down jackets.
The accessories department this season offers Everlast Boxing gloves, ashtrays, 5 panel caps, New Era caps, backpacks, scarves and a couple of other nice pieces.
The Supreme Fall/Winter 2008 collection is very solid. There are not many stand-out pieces this season, at the same time each piece in the line is looking pretty good. Supreme is certainly becoming a brand that one can wear wear every day and many styles of. As usual we are very pleased.
Take a detailed look at the Supreme Fall/Winter 2008 collection after the jump.
The messenger bag came back really strong in recent years, also due to the continued excitement about biking and especially fixed gear biking. We have seen messenger bags and bag collaborations from a number of brands over the last couple of seasons and there were many nice ones in the mix, nevertheless we have to say, this new Undercover bag is something else.
The bag comes featuring a fully embroidered upper, also featuring metal coin applications, hinting at an overall native design. It is not the bag that everybody will be into, but there will be many out there that love it. And you can be pretty sure, that nobody around you has anything like it.
The new Undercover messenger bag is now available at SlamJam.

It is always great seeing a brand grow from season to season. Vanguard out of Italy we have watched since they produced their very first t-shirts a couple of years ago. Today we give you a look at their Fall/Winter 2008 collection and things changed.
The brand offers a lot of cut & sew this season, consisting of both technical jackets and knitwear. On the jackets they used rainbow colored taping and zippers, which makes an interesting and as you might have guessed loud look. At the same time they bring their own interpretations of classics, such as a shiny version of the classic quilted Barbour jacket. They also offer some jewelry this season.
Definitely a collection that you should be looking out to. We are impressed for sure. Expect it to hit stores some time in September.
Many more images of the Vanguard Fall/Winter 2008 collection after the jump.
We also took a look at the Rocksmith Spring 2009 collection, a brand inspired by both Tokyo and New York City. The new collection consists of a nice line-up of New Era caps, windrunner jackets and also sneakers. As usual the brand utilizes strong colors, especially the ones that one does not see too often from other brands.
Head on after the jump to get an idea...
From Helsinki, Finland, CTRL builds on bold prints and vintage skate flavor for its Spring 2009 collection. Denim shorts, graphic tees and a knee length camo coat are among the garments. There are also some skate decks and limited edition wheels coming.

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.
As we've come to expect, Upper Playground continues to promote the 59fifty cap as an infinitely explorable canvas. Fall 2008 sees some excellent examples of this charge. Among them, the pink number is perhaps the most eye catching.
Basketball takes center stage in Upper Playground's most intriguing garments for Fall 2008. Dunking a skull, on a tee. Dunking a ball, on a zip hoody. Some strong text driven logo fleeces are also on the cards.

RMK focuses on traditional American styling. These pieces speak to that intent.

Sailing the seven seas provides inspiration for King Stampede's spring 2009 line. Whether drawing on heavy weight slickers for head wear, or looking critically at vintage navy uniforms for shirting options, the maritime flare of the collection is easily expressed. The shirt is a highlight, with paneled construction for durability.
More images of the King Stampede Spring 2009 Preview follow after the jump.
