Edwin 55 Chino Sage

Made from 10.25 premium cotton twill, the Edwin 55 Chino features a chain stitched finish on the outside edge seam and iconic selvedge detail on the right back pocket. Not too skinny like the 77′s were, these are regular in the thigh with a slight taper below the knee. Available in worn sage, making them a well recommended staple for the forthcoming colder months.

Available from FUSShop

Nike Air Mag from 2015 #BTTF

Not much of a fan of hype trainers but this is on another level! The Nike Air Mag’s feature auto-lacing and are from 2015. Sound familiar? Yes you guessed it! They’re the shoes Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future II!

Here’s the story, Nike filed a patent for auto-lacing shoes a while back, just to own the concept perhaps? The teaser video (above) has been knocking around, it shows inside Marty McFly’s closet, packed full of Air Mags. Just a few hours ago NiceKicks were lead to a hotel room containing a black box, in it a special invite – “IT’S ABOUT TIME…an unveiling that could change the course of time”, metal glasses Doc Brown famously wore in BTTF II as well as other related throwback and nostalgic goodies.

Really it can only mean one thing! We’ll go as far as to say that if this isn’t about a Nike Air Mags release we’ll be donating 100 hard earnt British pounds to the charity of your choice!

Pointer x Anderson Belts

For the second time around, Pointer have teamed up with the Italian belt manufacturer Anderson to produce a limited run of woven belts. Pointer specialise in simple and well designed footwear but also collaborate with those who hold a similar ethos. Other collabs have included CDG and Porter, quite good going since Pointer was only established in 2004. Quality being a huge selling point here, Anderson produce their belts exclusively in Parma, each being hand finished and polished by expert craftsmen.

FUSShop has two new colourways on offer – Grey / Navy / Burgundy (above) & Myrtle / Gold / Olive.

Passion of the Craft trailer

Copenhagen based BANDIT, a strategic ideas agency work with businesses that don’t necessarily understand the link between the lives of their consumers and their own brand.

Over four hectic days in New York BANDIT filmed 10 open conversations with leaders in fashion, branding, media, photography, marketing and design. Including Rob Cristofaro [Alife], Brendon Babenzien [Supreme], Va$htie, Noah Callahan-Bever [Complex Media Network] gathering their unique views on reaching a generation constantly searching for that next-big-thing.

Looking forward to the full-length feature which is “coming soon”. Reminded me of the Influencers documentary from last year.

Penfield Gibson Jacket

Penfield’s Gibson Jacket is made from lightweight Hudson Wax Cloth, a blend of 60% nylon and 40% cotton with a wax impregnation. Due to the nature of the wax cloth, the surface of the fabric will mark with wear; adding character with age.
