The recurring paisley motif appears on a logo pocket tee in white and navy colorways, as well as the requisite accessories program made up of snapback cap, tote bag and bandana.

American heritage brand Filson is apparently looking to up their pedigree with the younger crowd, recruiting Richard Chai as a creative designer for a partnership that will span several seasons.

Chai’s first influences on the label will manifest next week at his runway show on February 9th at 11:00am at Lincoln Center here in NYC. Beyond that, stick with Freshness as the year unfolds to get looks at the latest Filson gear produced under the reign of Richard Chai.

Reebok’s trip around the world to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Workout design continues with a Starcow x Reebok collaboration. In this edition, we get some Parisian influence to the classic Reebok silhouette, which results in a waterproof soft grey suede upper, orange lining, and a sand-colored gum outsole. A pair of Thinsulate inserts were added to boost its comfort score along with a touch of red and black on the top laces, giving this skate-inspired sneaker a a few more hits of color. These Starcow-designed Workout’s will be available at Reebok retailer along with the other global designs on February 15th. via: HS

Founded in 1958, ELKA is a rainwear specialist from Denmark, known for outerwear that can withstand extreme conditions. In celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Parisian creative studio La MJC, they have teamed up with Norse Projects to produce this exclusive jacket commemorating the anniversary. The most noticeable feature of the jacket is the tricolor break up of the panels, representing the French national colors.

Have you ever wanted to take a quick spin to your friend’s house or go out to the park on your bicycle but didn’t want to carry a backpack or a messenger bag? Well, the Brooklyn based SSCY have come up with a product that might be able to solve your problem. The Bandolier Bag is larger than a waist bag or your pockets, yet more compact than backpacks or messenger bags. In essence, these are two small pouches joined by a single shoulder strap. It is big enough to fit some electronic gadgets, wallets, tools and some snacks.

Also there are two straps fitted to the exterior of the pouches, which can hold a newspaper, skateboard, tripod or anything a little bulky to fit inside. To top it off, the pouches are made from water resistant poly duck material with vinyl backing for safeguarding the contents from rain. This Navy version is exclusively made for Chari & Co. in New York and these can be purchased at their retail store and online shop.

If there was an ideal term for a general description, it would be rambunctious celebration. Again with a stroke of ostentation and bombast, Jeremy Scott continues his partnership with adidas Originals for Spring/Summer 2012. Unlike some of his past collections, there is actually a cohesiveness to the design theme for this upcoming collection. Cue in on the growing interest on Americana, Scott elaborated on American cultural icons with his signature abandonment of popular perceptions. Who said a cowboy can’t wear a pair of sneakers if he wants to? How about a sequin football jersey for Super Bowl weekend? Or a strait jacket in the colors of Stars and Strips? Rules of political correctness need not apply, outrageous mixed with a dosage of fun dictate each items, from the JS MEGA Softcell Cowboy Boots, the Fringed Track Jacket, to the nearly infamous American Flag Strait Jacket. Nothing is off limits. Then again, isn’t that the reason why fashion is fun?

The adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott Collection for Spring/Summer 2012 is available now with more additions to come in the following weeks.

The next shop selected by Reebok to take part in their Workout 25th Anniversary collection series is Sneakers76, which is based in the city of Taranto in southern Italy, where “time passes slowly.” Sneakers76′s attention to detail resulted in a choice white pieno fiore leather for the upper, organic cotton for the laces, and the best natural rubber they could find for the off-white sole. Keeping with their pursuit for timeless style, these Italian sneakerheads chose a wood textured heel panel and touches of gold for the inner lining. This collaboration between Sneakers76 and Reebok will release along with the other retail collaborations in the lineup, which is set for February 15th, 2012. via: HS
