About a month ago, Supertouch blogged about Dr. Romanelli's 1Hund[RED] Artists shoe launch with Converse out in LA. Romanelli’s #1 fan Lupe Fiasco was there to provide the entertainment, and there was a quick internet blip mentioning his shoes: patent leather Chucks built under the Product [RED] platform. We got our hands on a pair, and although they're not scheduled to release, enough buzz could bring 'em into the marketplace. Get those comments going, and get these shits made! More photos after the jump.
The Jumpman logo soars to new heights in some cool leather jackets by Dr. Romanelli. This seam-ster's latest mashup is a nod to Jordan's OG colorway'red and black pieced together in Romanelli's signature patchwork style of premium leathers. The running of the (Chicago) bulls continues. Click here for more on Dr. Romanelli from our June/July issue.
When creative minds butt heads to make something cool, the result is even cooler, more expensive shit (even if it’s made from crap, uh we mean scraps). Known for turning decayed surfaces into a canvas and piecing together throwaway fabrics into premium apparel, the mosaic styles of the two-man team June 13th (NY artist Jose Parla and LA designer Dr. Romanelli) unveiled its series of collabs last week at LA gallery 181 N. Martel for a six-week exhibition. We know sick gear when we see it, and Parla’s hypnotic graphics qualifies as seriously ill, especially when he hooks up with Japanese sneaker and apparel heavyweight Visvim, denim brand Anachronorm, and sunglasses company Dita. Get ready to have your mind and your pockets blown. These exclusives are now available only at the gallery space. The next stops on the June 13th tour are at Tokyo’s CELUX (Louis Vuitton members club) on July 27 and at Hong Kong’s JOYCE on July 29. Don’t forget to recycle.
