Vans x Supreme Chukkas and Half Cabs

Vans and Supreme are back at it this spring pumping out a set of collaborative Half Cabs and Chukkas. The street fashion go-getters over at Houyhnhnm leaked flicks of the single-toned kicks this morning. For now it seems as though a pack will represent all the colors of the gang rainbow (finally the Latin Kings get some love). No word on a release date yet, but stay tuned for more information.

Terry Richardson Molesting Kermit the Frog Video

Now that you’ve seen the Kermit vs Supreme ad campaign, we’re sure many of you are just dying to see some of the behind the scenes footage from the photo shoot that made it all possible. Here’s the clip of Terry Richardson shooting and then embracing the green-skinned Muppet like it was just another one of his submissive muses. If alive, we’re pretty sure Jim Henson would be so proud to see his prized kid-loving creation cavorting with the likes of Terry—especially after peeping this (A3).

Quality Time

Here at Complex the lines between work and play often become blurry. Even during our 4th of July vacation last week in LA, it was almost impossible to pull us away from our laptops and Blackberries so that we could catch a quick glimpse of hot, exotic World Cup groupies and the Zinedine Zidane head butt heard ‘round the world. Instead, our attention was on the sweet eye-candy we found outside of our native NYC in some of the West Coast’s finest boutique shops like Proper, Seams, Supreme, Conveyor at Fred Segal, and Turntable Lab. Maybe next time we can fit into our schedule more than one type of “beech,” if you know what we mean.

Fred Segal has two locations, both across the street from each other. But only one houses Conveyor, their dope boutique streetwear line. They also carry Orchard Street, MHI (Maharishi), BBC and Ice Cream.

For us sneakerheads who get wood for Proper’s wide selection of Nike, adidas, and Vans we must say the store’s wood-grain motif is also a nice touch. Pause.

Seams is a cool store in Long Beach next door to Proper. Most of the clientele are skaters so most of the sneaker choices are Nike SB’s core skate shoes like the P-Rod, and Team Edition. Other hot items in the store: Nike SB apparel, Nike White Label, T-shirts from The Hundreds, Shalom x Diamond, and Lrg.

The tiny New York flagship has more room to breathe out in LA. The DJ/producer/sound technician headquarters carries the imports as well as the latest 12″ releases (yes, vinyl still exists), DJ equipment, accessories, T-shirts, hoodies, CD’s, and DVD’s.

Have a seat and taste some of their delicious vinyl.

Seeing a live DJ in a store once wowed us. But we’ve finally seen it all, Supreme LA’s in-door skate bowl - amazing.
