UPDATE: A buddy of mine ‘Vagrant Sneaker’ has just informed me that he’s just received an email from Selfridges explaining that the shoes won’t be dropping tomorrow, but that they will be on display. Smoke screen/Delay/Truth?….I suppose we’ll find out tomorrow.

UPDATE II:  Hearing rumbles from London that they did, in fact, drop, but the numbers were rediculously low (10 pairs of black and 15 of the olive).  I have a feeling that there may to more to drop later……checking sources now.

- T, incredible video work

There was a period in time where myself and Big T would only buy Pumas, in particular those in the Suede/Clyde/States family. Over time though we both realised that although an amazing looking shoe, they really were never that comfortable. Never fear for the second instalment of UNDFTD’s Puma Clyde program brings a more comfortable shoe through upgraded heel, insole, tongue and toebox modifications in an attempt to bring this classic silhouette into the 21s century.

Releasing June 10th exclusively in QLD at Laced, these are real nice (especially the Hemp/Brown colour).

Just finished up the artwork for this one. Last year’s competition was a major hit, this time there’s 2 categories to choose from. Get in store and pick up a character and entry form. It’s also the release night of Dunny 2011. For full details hit up the Laced blog.

- t, I’ll try and actually do one this time… Maybe…

Recently I worked with Sneaker Freaker Magazine and New Balance to help them put out their book titled “Craftsmanship & Imagination”. Basically this 60-odd page zine documents some of the company’s history as well as stories from NB heads around the world (including yours truly). These puppies aren’t for sale so you’ll have to drop by a participating store and ask extra nicely if you want a copy. If you’re in Brisbane you can grab a copy from Laced right now.

Bit late on posting this, but last week the lovely folks at Puma decided to gift me this pair of sample Suedes. Apparently there’s only a handful of this sample in the world which makes this a bit of a bloody privilege indeed.

Among other interesting tidbits, it seems that the Puma by Hussein Chalayan collection will be hitting our shores in a little while, including his batman-esque shoe which caught my eye when it first surfaced early this year. Puma is also planning some interesting stuff with their After Hours Athlete program in Australia, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for future info…

- t, cheers again Puma!

Think Kenny’s Gymkhana but in a Freightliner in classic Gulf Livery and totally nutcase Pikes Peak Hill Climb vet Mark Ryan behind the wheel of this beast. It looks flipping insane when it blurts out a giant burst of exhaust everytime he punches it.

- T, holy crap is a term that comes to mind, *EXPLOSION*

Got nothing to do in Melbourne this Friday? How about you head over to Up There where you can check out the new season from Norse Projects and a brand new to our shores; France’s own Bleu De Paname. There’s sure to be plenty of free booze as well, so really you have no excuse not to be there.
