UNDRCRWN is releasing their latest collaborative project with Mos Def. The “Cut & Sew” collection blends a collegiate athletic aesthetic with Mos’ person style. Consisting of jackets and fitted caps, the release features monochromatic materials with pops of colorful details and bold prints, all mixed with hand drawing by Mos Def himself.

“I’m loving what [UNDRCRWN] is doing. Loving how they show creativity, wit and style with their line and I’m really inspired by how they put their garments together. [I’m] Loving how they got a very unique perspective on athletic style. They make some very strong overtures to Brooklyn and Bed-Stuy and that’s me, so I responded to that almost immediately! What they’re doing is very distinct.” -Mos Def

Nike x DJ Clark Kent - Air Force 1 - East Edition - East vs. West Rivals Pack

 Another release from the East vs. West Rivals Pack, which has already produced some interesting models, this Air Force 1 was crafted by DJ Clark Kent in response to Eddie Cruz’ AF1. Cruz’ AF1 was a far more aggressive take–utilizing an embossed snakeskin pattern in shiny purple that is contrasted with bright gold in patent leather. This model is nowhere near as loud, and it takes on some earth tones and different materials. Featuring a a mix of browns and tan in what looks to be smooth leather, ostrich, and nubuck, there is also a .44 sticky rubber sole, a material embossed on the heel by name and number. Clark Kent already made a pretty huge contribution to the East West pack with the Gucci-inspired dunk high, and this model is certainly exciting as well. The coastal war concept continues to bring in some fresh models. Available now at schuch-you.
