Evisu 2010 Spring/Summer Collection
Born out of Japan over a serious fascination with product, Evisu reached the international masses with strong global brand recognition. As a result of this success, the brand unsuccessfully juggled its roots with its new found glory, implementing the Kamome (seagull) at every opportunity – for better or worse. Thankfully, the Spring-Summer 2010 collection turns a new page in the Evisu story with the recent appointment of Scott Morrison as creative director and CEO. Scott not only brings to the table an exceptional eye for high quality product and washing techniques but also a small team of loyal staff that helped build his two previous brands. One of them is Miguel Hurtado, who is playing a vital role in the re-branding of Evisu. Taking the brand back to its product focused roots was the mandate, so with the first shoot of Morrison’s newly washed jeans, Hurtado literally washed some of the branding along with it. You get a real back to basics feel when viewing the shoot. All of photos are in black and white and were shot under the Williamsburg Bridge in NYC giving the shoot have a classic feel. The first drop of the new look Evisu teams products start to arrive around the middle of Jan in stores. Be sure to check them out

Air Jordan - 2010 Edition | Detailed Look & Video
We’ve seen images of what was thought to be the new Jordan 2010 model, but now that we have these detailed shots and this high-definition YouTube video to get a look at every gleaming centimeter of the shoe, we can easily tell that this sneaker is much more than what we thought it was initially. This final product turns out to be marvel, as it has some amazing aesthetic and technical/performance features. The most striking is the window on both the inside and outside of the sneaker, which is a large circle with a plastic-type of material with small perforations that allow you to see inside the sneaker. The leather on the midfoot also includes breathable, tiny perforations. The toe is a softer leather that adds strength and protection. The midsole is patterned with what looks like script writing throughout on the red portion.The inner lining is tight against the foot, as the goal was to get the sneaker as snug as possible. Check the youtube video to see the legendary Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith, the creative director of Jordan Brandbreak down all the ins and outs of the sneaker.
