Supra NS Strapped

Half of Hollywood’s hipster-set is rocking Supra’s nowadays, but only Steve Aoki landed his own unofficial silhouette. Last year the “Strapped” was the DJ’s go-to when he was spinning out of control, and for fall, the brand churned out this blood-red make-up. In your face Samantha Ronson! Look for these to release with the red-patent pack in a few weeks.

C’N'C Costume National

If you’re looking to stay up on all the dope sneaker-shoe brands, get familiar with Costume National. Started in 1993 by Ennio Capasa, a former employee of Yohji Yamamoto, the brand has Italian roots and is pumping out sick high-tops like this C’N’C suede model. Look for the company to get improved distribution in the U.S this year, but in the meantime you’ll be able to grab these models at online-sneaker-slinger Zappos in a few weeks.

If you strong-armed your way into the Nike Sportswear store at the grand opening last Thursday night, you would’ve saw these patent-leather Blazers being shelved.

The Blazer has slowly been making a comeback this year, and with more highs and lows on the way, don’t expect the flat-soled sneakers to play the cut for a while. Check for these at the new flagship store in New York, or at select SW retailers.

PF Flyers Albin

Bob Cousy held PF Flyers down last winter, but for spring/summer it’s been all about the Albin.

The red carpet/swanky club-friendly shoe first got some buzz when celebrities richer than Lil Wayne (David Beckham) were rocking them in paparazzi shots. This cooler gray colorup serves as the go-to for the brand this fall, and we fucks with it. New money!
