Maintaining the sleek frame and minimalist design nanamica‘s cycling packs are known for, this off-white option is constructed of tear and scuff resistant Cordua 1000 nylon, which makes this bag tougher than it looks. The pack features one large main compartment that is sealed with a Velcro fastener, two side zip pockets, and adjustable padded shoulder straps. A mesh-lined front pocket is accessible with a leather zipper-pull and two side adjustable cinches keep your gear in place. The vegetable-tanned leather accents and brass buckles offer a subtle contrast to this durable and lightweight classic cycling workhorse. You can pick up this bag now at one of HAVEN’s shops in Edmonton or Vancouver or their online shop.

As we hope for the weather to warm up, White Mountaineering is preparing for better days with the release of this 6oz. Denim Hooded Coat from their Spring 2012 releases. This lightweight indigo denim coat is constructed in a similar manner as their tech jackets, however it features velour trim instead of water-resistant taping on the outer seams. Thick drawcords are fitted onto the hood and hem, balancing out the cream-colored trim. Cream-colored snap buttons are used on the front opening as well, with every second button hidden from view. This jacket is currently available at FIGURE SHIZUOKA in Japan and at White Mountaineering stockists across the globe.

Initially debuted in 1989, the Reebok Pump Fury has enjoyed a fruitful career as a revolutionary athletic sneaker, as well as a sought-after pair of kicks by sneaker aficionados.

Each season, COMME des GARÇONS designer Junya Watanabe teams up with Levi’s for a collaboration project, and this season is no exception. A vintage pair of jeans from 1966 was selected for their collaboration, heavily customized to visually translate the season’s work theme. Over-sized reinforcements on the thigh and knee areas create a totally unique aesthetic, coupled with large pockets on the upper thighs. Rear pockets have been moved slightly outwards, and in their place is hickory fabric, juxtaposed with the raw denim underneath. These jeans can be picked up at HAVEN retail store and online shop at the moment.

Aside from their own line of products and retail stores, Japanese fashion giant Beauty & Youth is known for instigating high-profile collaboration projects. Their latest partnership is with the Californian brand VANS, who have produced an exclusive pair of Leopard Slip Ons for the ladies. As animal prints have been making the rounds in recent seasons, here is the version from Beauty & Youth, utilizing a leopard-printed suede leather material. The smooth leather wraps around the whole sneaker, balanced by cream-colored soles and interior. Beige-colored VANS flag tag and dual brand logos on the footbed finish off the footwear nicely. Unfortunately, these have already sold out on the Beauty & Youth online shop, but they may still be available in their retail stores in Japan, so it might be best to reach out to your Japanese contacts.
