just got the new catalogs for S/S 06..

it's basically very heavy in the "metal/rock" designs..

lots of faux band shirts and dark metal looking designs.

kinda cool, but i'm not sure why they're going so heavy into it.

i checked a couple months back with New Era and found out that the minimum order for a wholesale order is 10,000 dollars a year. and there's no way we could meet that.

but most of you are right, it's not a collab. they send you the artwork specs, you send them the art, they make your hats. it's no different than going to your local silkscreen/embroidery shop and saying "make me 24 new era caps with this artwork"

they're not the easiest company to deal with as far as communication goes either.

good luck..

dude, new balance rocks.

oh wow.

that was definitely a fucking treat.

haha..

that was a bit of a strange image to be going for in the 70s, no?

unless it was like way early 70s like pre 73...

Casio Data Bank 150. nothing else.

do it.

i own over 110 watches, and this is still my favorite.

whow.. those are mad strange.

they almost look like prototypes from a company as opposed to finished products.

i kinda like them, and i kinda don't.

notsa!

you gotta learn how to compress them pictures.

i too would be interested in hearing from the females on this board.

but, that's assuming that there ARE any females on this board.

which i think the ratio is like 200 guys to 1 girl.

-k

oh jesus.

thems some ugly watches.

looks like Swatch rejected designs.

which isn't saying much.

most New Balance are made in China, but at factories that support living wages and such.

BUT, their Tier One line is all made in either England or Boston (usa)..

their tier one line is basically, in my opinion, the highest quality sneaker/trainer money can buy.

they range in cost from 140 to 170, but they're worth every penny, and the colorways are mindblowing.

-k

i too love the cut of those jeans.

i got a pair and by the photos alone i didn't know how much i'd like them until i put them on.

the cut is very japanese.

-k

fuck variety, i want to see innovation.

you want variety go buy your shit at the gap.

k

i don't get this.

what the hell is so cool about the same damn shoe in different fabrics??

-k

that seems pretty high as the jeans should be around here or LESS with no discount..

-k

dunks will definitely always be around just because they're such a classic sneaker..

they'll go down in history like Chucks or Vans slip-ons..

as far as Air Max goes, i think the entire line is over-priced and most models are ugly as sin.

-k

honestly..

New Balance's entire Tier One line is made either in England or Boston.

the quality is so high, that no other sneaker company can touch it.

everything from the quality of the materials to how comfortable they are is tops.

new balance is gonna blow up in 06.

-k

oh my god..

this is getting really good.

keep the pics coming.

i wanna see Jewel rockin' some bapestas and a supreme cap.

-k

the font in which the size is written on the Nike box looks like the same font used in fakes..

anyway we can get a close up shot of the inner shoe tag?

thanks,

k

honestly..

i've been going to vegas about three times a year for the past eight years..

the place to stay is Bally's. why?

because it's somewhat affordable, it's the most central hotel in vegas, time from room to strip is less than 2 minutes (bellagio is more like 10, haha...), and it was renovated fairly recently so you're gonna get a clean modern room..

that's my advice.

yeah, if you end up getting a decent amount of rain on your dry denim that hasn't been washed yet you'll notice that when it dries it's going to be much stiffer than before.

you might also notice some wavey soft wrinkles too, but nothing that won't go away after a couple of non-rainy day wears.

those are wild..

you think those crease marks are totally natural?

they don't look like it.

-k

nope, loomstate doesn't make any selvedge models.

and as far as i've seen, i've only seen a couple of very rare rogan styles that were selvedge.

-k

just picked up a pair of these size 30/30 at the stussy store on Haight in sf..

amazing jeans, great construction, totally worth the 250 price tag.
