Standing in the Shadow

Yeah Yeah, I know how everybody be raving over the classic designs, comfort, and durability Saucony is known for. Sike! (Psyche) But nevermind that, the Shadow design(which was featured here a lil while back) is flavor on it's own, then when put together with Alife, the style is hyped up to new notches.


The Shadow 6G's (6000) are being released exclusively at the ARC, this saturday, the 28th, with an accompanying tee. Only in the 3 colorways shown, they're gonna run a buck 10 a pair, and 40 bills 4 the shirt.

Staple Splash

Yo! WTF is this forreal, are they serious? Indeed they are, and effortlessly embracing the OriginalFresh mantra in the process. Holding the general pedigree for a poncho intact, yet stripping those so "uncool" things about the typical, Staple Design got real brolic with the design of this Spring Poncho.
I'll def rock this, and not on some rainy day tip either.

As basic, and simple looking as it possibly could be to the norm, of what you would define as a poncho. But the thought and design put into this piece, sets it apart from that thing you throw over ya clothes, when your about to get on a water ride, at Great Adventures or something. 1st of all the material used is def easy on the eye (in a way), nowhere near a bright-ass yellow. Neutral in content as far as having camo design aesthetics, and being easily wearable, and adaptable in accordance to your wardrobe. Without the loud color, it's easy to look on the bright side in reference to this.

Snatched straight from the Staple Design spring lookbook, the sketches, with all the details, and lil arrows were a great touch. And included at the bottom of the sketches are slick comments, coupled with design breakdowns, and a slight glimpse into the mind of the designer. Below is what was said for the Boyce Rain Poncho. But do, peep the rest of the lookbook, and know what is.

Spring Wave from Denmark

Your looking at the newest latest from Wood Wood, (don't mind the name) the Spring/Summer line presents a collection that screams youth maturity. Through expressive, fits and colors an aggressive chic nature is too evident. With special emphasis on design aesthetics, smooth calm tones, fall back, yet compliment the way each article amplifies it's own unique style.

The womens end of the line is not too form fitting, making for a real creative touch. Slightly oversized, with the length coming in in just the right way, allowing for a funky fit, a simple step away from the norm. Neutral colors and prominent reds, show cool innovation, in the warmer seasons. Link the site to see the full line, as well as the online shop.

The Main Course

Get a glimpse of the main course, a savory display of threads done in a manner effectively executes a full Gourmet meal. Get It?
If your one of those who know, then you probably seen Gourmet, here and there with the main emphasis on the footwear, a breath of fresh air indeed, but allow OF to pump fake, and direct your attention to their spring 08 lineup.

Incendious, yet laidback athletic wear, with a clever street runway persona, depicts an image, that I don't try, it just happens(that's copywritten by the way). Design and material, substitute for a commanding audience, instead of loud colors, (not knocking anyone) or brash statements, that other's might use to shed light on oneself. Calm subtle tones, leave the statement "it's not what you wear, but how you wear it" as the prominent impression followed by the Not For Nothing mantra.

Gourmet is def in ya face, on an OriginalFresh track, this unstoppable train is something to stay alert for in the future. Peep the SITE and blog, Du Jour, for more, and in depth info.

From Paris with Fresh

Sooner or later all this goddamn snow will melt and the temperatures will rise to a comfortable height. And when it does look out and stand clear of Leroy Jenkins Spring + Summer Collection for the current year of 2008.

This time around Leroy Jenkins came with some different flavor. Original across the board from the denims seen above, featuring slanted back pockets, varying from one another, creative hysteria indeed. Paris France is real live and direct on the tee's, coordinating well with the prominent theme.

This collection definitely stands tall, and holds it's own like megaphone close to the mouth of an activist. Screaming creative, new elements, demanding OriginalFreshness on a wave all it's own. Fuck with the real, Leroy Jenkins Spring, Summer 08' collection is it.

Skater Cool

A new cool just branched from the big skateboarding tree, in the form of some serious flamboyant eyewear. With skateboarding in common, these four madd cool fellows created something excellent, simultaneously forming a brigada of their own.

Looking half Bentley, half BBC the logo has a smooth and classic appeal, holding it's value in association with unique placement. Packaged in a hard case, and a slick-ass Brigada logo covered cloth wipe. You just mad cause, Brigada's stylin' on you.

Named after the most official of official mob bosses, organized crime affiliates, these shades are hella gangster, "how they get so tuff"?
Featuring spring-fit hinges, handmade acetate frames, the UV protection's all there, laser engravement's(that is a word by the way, I think) all rubbed down with a spiffy polished finish. The futuristic, cool, that is Brigada Eyewear is hitting select skateshops tomorrow, March 1st, in this current year of 2008. See whats good with them.

The Homies behind Brigada:
Andrew Reynolds, Erik Ellington, Jim Greco, and Terry Kenedy
