Swims Wing Tip Shoes & Moccasins
Previously known for their rain covers for shoemakers such as John Lobb, Swims continues to present interesting alternatives, made especially for the rainy days out there. Going beyond the cover with their new offering, Swims presents a wing tip shoe and a moccasin for Spring/Summer 2011.
The shoes all feature 3M Scotch Guard high density nylon uppers and a hydro guard lining. The result is unique looking shoes with a very high resistance against water, something unseen before in the market. We love the idea!

Stussy x JJ Villard T-Shirts
For Summer 2011, Stussy worked on a series of t-shirts with animator JJ Villard.
A graduate of CalArts, JJ has worked on huge Hollywood films such as Shrek the Third, Shrek Forever After and Monsters vs. Aliens before landing his current gig at Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. JJ’s personal work is drastically different from the high profile projects he typically works on. Inspired by 80′s pop culture, horror films and things of a darker nature, JJ used the idea of a sketchbook to inspire his tees.Using pens, pencils and markers, JJ created a series of t-shirts capturing the rawness of a sketchbook. See him speak in the video below.

Romain Jerome Space Invaders Watches
After having signed a licensing agreement with TAITO Corporation on the Space Invaders franchise, Swiss watch maker Romain Jerome presents the first watches, featuring the iconic characters of the video game. The brand presents two limited edition watches, each coming in a series of 78 pieces, paying tribute to the 1978 birth year of the Space Invaders game. One of the watches features a colorful Space Invaders dial, while the other one comes with a more subtle glow-in-the-dark version of the characters.
The two watches are without a doubt our favorite to come from the Swiss brand to date.
