ALAKAZAM! - Mini Season 5.5

Japanese/British label, ALAKAZAM!, had just released a mini season, playfully named 5.5, after season 5 dropped a while back. This mini collection’s tees continue to be influenced by horror B movies, mythical references, surrealism and punk-pop culture. The founders’ styles thread the fine line of dark humor, but leans more towards the funny than the dreadful. For those who find ALAKAZAM’s styles familiar, founder Will Sweeney has a long standing relationship with Undercover’s Jun Takahashi, Silas, James Jarvis and Susumu Mukai. Mini Season 5.5 just dropped online at Haven, so check the collection out for some new graphic tees.

LACOSTE - Paris Pack - Imatra

To tide us through woes of changing weather, we are constantly searching for material that will cool us in heat and keep warm in the cold. While canvas is one of the key materials for summer shoes, Lacoste had found something better in their new Paris Pack. The summer Paris Pack from Lacoste features weaved straw uppers on their iconic Imatra shoes. The shoes come in two colorways of striped grey canvas with straw and striped red straw on straw. Both shoes feature the small crocodile logo on the side panel. The insoles are also lined in straw as well for maximum heat ventilation. These are now available online through FLAUGE. Just remember to wear something else in the rain.

The Nike Dunk High Nylon was originally released as a Quickstrike from Nike in the Fall of 2008 and now almost nearly a year later, the sneaker giant has released a similar colorway in th same Nylon treatment from the year before. The upper features the use of a soft nylon material in a off White/Silver, the Swoosh is Red, and the laces are Blue. You can pick these up now at select Nike Sportswear retailers including Standard.

Nike - Dunk-Hi - “Homer Simpson”

Since the world’s most popular towering blue-haired stunner, Marge Simpson, had played muse to Nike and produced the Nike “Marge Simpson” Dunk-Hi SB, it seems only natural that her husband join her on the sneaker side eventually. Nike just released the “Homer Simpson” Dunk-Hi in Simpson’s Voltage Yellow skin color paired with Midnight Blue accents. The leather and suede uppers are perforated for extra ventilation and pulled together with orange laces. These are now available online at Ltd. If you have a Marge, it’s time to get her a Homer.

Nike Terminator Low Blue/White-Maize Gradient

Three new colors of the Terminator Low have dropped and I don’t remember, but I feel like someone successfully predicted this happening in July. Anyway, while I’m not a huge Terminator fan, these have pretty clean looks, with a major focus being gradient fading on two of them, while the other sports a black and white upper with intense Magic Eye-like multi-colored dots on the side panel. The gradient pairs feature a white/red-silver upper on the first, with white-to-red gradient fading, while the second pair is a insignia blue/white-electrolime with blue-to-maize gradient fading
