Creative Recreation Dicoco (Timberland Colorway)

creative-rec-dic.jpg
Supra’s not the only sneaker brand jockin’ jock-in’ jock-in’ Timberland this fall, Creative Rec joins the all wheat and nubuck clan with this scheme on the Dicoco.

The 6-inch premium take-off is part of CRec’s “Choice” division—one of nine sections the brand will offer this season. Check for these mid-to-late September at select retailers.

Creative Recreation Cesario Throwbacks

creative_rec1.jpg
Before Creative Rec had crazy mass appeal, and apologetic tools like Terrance from 106 & Park were rocking them—the Cesario’s in this tri-blue colorway put the brand on the map.

Sure Kanye wearing a similar scheme in an old NY Times article helped hook the jock-slobbers, but sneakerheads who thought outside the box knew from the jump these were bangers. This fall, C-Rec will retro the classic colorway for the first time and put out the hi and low models we all copped years ago. Class always lasts, check the low make-up after the jump.

Creative Recreation Milano Hi

milano-hi.jpg
Building on the euro-friendly black and white colorups, Creative Rec will drop another Barney’s exclusive for fall in this olive green scheme.

The semi-perforated upper is tricked out in premium leather, just how swanky Barney’s browsers like their kicks. Hopefully by the time these military boots for the AK-toting fashionista drop (late August/early September), we’ll be out of Iraq. Wishful thinking never hurt anyone.

Creative Recreation Cesario

The Cesario is the perfect summer shoe to fake that you’re actually a classy sneaker head to your new WASP-y girlfriend’s family. We’ve seen patents and metallics applied to Creative Rec’s, but this make-up goes back to its roots of subtle heat. Check for these to hit retailers in the next few week.

Creative Recreation Kaplan

We’re banking on these white-on-white Creative Recreation Kaplans’ to lead us to the 4th of July ass-getting promise land this weekend. Sure they’re basic, but simple is still “in”. Spit some G and chill poolside with your new dime. Drinks are on the house.

Creative Recreation Dechico

creative-rec-de-chico.jpg
It’s the perfect time for red, white and blue. Hillary is officially about to take the L, the Cubs (who cares) have the best record in the MLB for the first time since 1908, and the summer Olympics are coming up. This familiar in-line model gets the U.S pride treatment for Creative Rec’s Summer 08 line, that starts shipping to retailers in the next few weeks. F a lapel, lace these up Barack.

Creative Recreation Kaplan

creative-rec-kaplan.jpg
It’s no secret that sandals and sneaker heads don’t mix, but consider this Kaplan by Creative Recreation a happy medium. With the majority of the uppers done-up in full-breathable mesh, you’ll feel like you’re not wearing any shoes — without having to stoop down to Reef-wearing hippie status. Check for these to hit C.Rec retailers in the next few weeks.

Daily Swagger: Creative Recreation Kaplan

creative_rec.jpg
Although it’s cold as shit out, it’s never too early to re-up on warm-weather kicks. These Kaplan’s from the sneaker-shoe staple brand Creative Rec are the early favorite for impressing your snobby girlfriend’s mom during brunch at the country club this Spring. There’s also a cleaned-up leather brown colorway if you want to look proper in places that require casual attire. Take ‘em to church.
