The ongoing collaboration between Nike Sportswear and Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment design continues this month with these two new Air Zoom All Court’s. These two All Court’s feature a canvas tonal colored upper in your choice of Obsidian or Varsity Red. The fragment design logo is hidden on the insole of the shoe along with a Nike Zoom Air unit underneath of it to give the shoe some added comfort. The clean aesthetic of this Air Zoom All Court makes it a great style to have for the upcoming Spring and Summer months. Pick these up at select Nike Sportswear retailers today including Proper, 21 Mercer, and more.

There’s nothing cleaner than a fresh pair of Air Force 1s. While the white-on-white rightfully gets re-released constantly, this Birch/White model clearly envokes memories of the “Linen” Air Force 1, which has yet to see re-release. This model with a birch upper in leather and mesh on the middle portion and toebox features lacks the pink that was so prominent on the first release, but it still comes off in an slick, versatile model. These won’t last long, so head to size? in the UK to get your pair.
Style: 315122-200
Color: Birch/White
Debuted at the end of last year and keeping sneakerheads everywhere extremely intrigued and anxious, the Skittle-colored Nike Lunar Chukka Woven+ had made quite a splash in the sneaker world since it was first previewed at the end of 2009. While we had previously reported on the Nike Lunar Chukka Woven+ QS “Rainbow” which is set to drop at Bow & Arrows this Saturday, its navy counterpart will be available exclusively at SOPH. SHOP and Isetan Shinjuku this Saturday as well.

Whether one condones marijuana, uses it, hates it or is simply supportive because of its lucrativeness, 420 has come and gone and many labels and companies had geared up with related releases. The biggest drop of all is the Nike SB Dunk Hi Premium “Skunk”, which inspired Maven to dress its windows up as a nursery for the lush green marijuana plants to match the shoes. Then, following the 420 hoopla, Gizmodo outed Apple Software Engineer, Gray Powell, and released images of the iPhone 4G prototype Powell lost at a German Beer Garden. In the span of a week, Powell’s life has probably changed drastically, going from day to night, but people have been supportive (not to mention we all enjoyed the leak) and Lufthansa has offered Powell a business class round-ticket to Munich to enjoy some local brews.
420 and iPhone saga aside, this week spots some great releases, previews and events around the city. Keep reading to find out the biggest news that you should not miss, so you can end the week on the right, and well-informed note. Enjoy!

Kicked off Spring in a grand fashion, ALIFE hosted it first ALIFE Courtyard Sessions for 2010 last Thursday, April 15th. Celebrating the “stoner culture”, ALIFE dubbed the event GO GREEN.

In a world where everyone not only can have a blog, but will and do have a blog, blogs are born and most are weeded out on a daily basis. To not only survive but also stand out in the surge of blogs and online magazines, it takes both good taste and fortitude to make it. And amongst the select few who have made it and has interesting things to offer, A Continuous Lean continues to scour the earth for best quality products, and not only brings them to his readers in the form of information, but actual, tangible products as well. After having collaborated with some of the most celebrated names in the industry such as Steven Alan and GANT, ACL has brought in Mark McNairy of J. Press and his eponymous label, to create a collection of cargo and painter pants for the summer.

Yes, that’s right, it’s a vagina you see, and it is not only a symbol for sexuality and life, but also a reminder why we love The Selby so much and looking at the spaces creative types hold intimate and dear. As a part of Element Skateboard’s “Make It Count, The Element Story” film, photographer Amber B. Dianda visited Element team professional skateboarder-cum-TV personality Bam Margera’s home. Margera’s home is not just a space for rest, but it also has a video editing suite and a radio studio. Check out his collection of art, mural, decks, studio, a suit of armor and well, a tarp of a vagina looming from the ceiling. via: Street Level

Add a little extra dandy touch to your summer chinos and step out in plaid with the new ALIFE Public Naval Plaid low-top sneaker.
