Info: Founding fathers of the hardcore punk movement, Bad Brains teamed up with street wear brand Supreme on a collection of apparel and sneakers. The diverse nature of Bad Brains created an eclectic sound that included a mix of punk, metal, jazz and reggae. The Rastafarian combo have broken up and reformed over the years, now manned by the classic and current lineup of singer H.R., guitarist Dr. Know, bassist Darryl Jennifer, and drummer Earl Hudson.

Info: Following on from the initial ‘Great White’ colorway released in April 2008, we can now reveal the stunning second version of the Sneaker Freaker X PUMA ‘Jirozame’ project. This new colorway of the PUMA Blaze of Glory flips the shoe to inky black, with a slash of vivid color that sets it off in all the right places. Highlights include sensual nubuck with turqoise sateen, silky laces, red chunks and poppin’ pink bits, all hooked up with the legendary smoke-tinted Trinomic cell unit in the sole of the shoe.

There’s also a choice of several beautifully designed insoles and multiple laces to complement the highly distinctive sneaker. “This thing looks evil!” says the editor and founder of Sneaker Freaker, Simon “Woody” Wood. “ And I love evil! It’s seriously the most comfortable shoe PUMA has ever made. Once you put this thing on you’ll never want to take it off. The Trinomic system was so far ahead of its time, you won’t believe your feet!” Be wary of its apparently docile nature, this one is lethal. And very, very black. [info via SNKR FRKR]

Info: The highlight of this shoe is in the outsole. It has a see-through outer sole with a map of Chicago on the inside! The public transport system of Chicago was the inspiration behind this kick. The train lines of red, yellow, blue, green, brown, orange, purple, and pink are all there to be found. There are so many materials used – crackle leather, perforated suede, ostrich,metallic silver, 3M and premium leather. It is very rare that one gets the chance to wear so many varieties of leather all at once! If i was you, I’d be be doing anything, including reverse jamming to get these into your collection!

Info: The Claw Money x Nike Vandal Hi Pack consists of overall 3 styles. The Vandal Hi rarely gets special treatments, which makes this pack stand out even more. Claw was found saying about the project, “The vandal is my favorite high top of all time! It used to be super rare and finding in a small size (which means girl’s sizes to all you collectors out there!) was almost impossible! Now Nike and I am bringing this gem to the ladies, so they can step out in the best!”. It’s very rare for a Nike Tier 0 product to be made for women.
