Undercover has already released a previous version of the Jack Purcell model around last year. The new version now will be different with polka dot designs on the kicks. It’s pretty much the same style shoe, except for the dots. The kicks come in either black or white and will release this Saturday April 14 at the HK Undercover shop.

Bape will be releasing beginning of February some interesting products. They got together once again with Medicom on some Bearbricks. This time they used the Babay Milo camo print in a few of their signature colors: green, blue and pink. The Beabricks will be dropping February 3rd.
Also they will release the traditional Bape Valentines Day tee on the first of February. This year it’s the Bape logo head with hearts instead of eyes

Visvim continues its collaboration with Mastermind Japan on the Kiefer-Hi. This time they present some new camo colorways – desert camo, woodland camo and olive/rain camo. All three of them feature the zipper in the back.
Up close you do notice that this sneaker is far more than a Converse Chuck Taylor inspired sneaker. The details are great and the quality standards on all Visvim unbeatable. Look out for these to drop soon outside of Japan as well

It was only a matter of time until we saw a Visvim x Kaws collab coming. And it came already sooner than expected. Kaws and the japanese brand got together on a pair of slip-ons. They come in black and feature the signature cross eyes of the artist on them. Simple and to the point. Just beautiful!
