We brought you news of the dope Original Fake Bearbrick a scant few days ago, and they’ve followed it up with this excellent tee of the figure. Part of their new spring collection, they’ve also included an excellent pin-striped jacket and a few leather belt offerings, as well. Check out some images of their collection here, or get the ordering info right here.
F-Troupe’s been in the headlines a lot recently, and for good reason. As part of their strong spring collection, they’ve released their own updated version of the boat shoe, in the JT137. If eye-catching is your M.O., then these shoes might be for you – they’ve cluttered up the traditional boat shoe quite a bit, and then gave ‘em the Crayola treatment. They kind of look like a boat shoe that your 5-year old niece might design – but hey, that’s not a bad thing. Keep checking F-Troupe’s site for more info.
What can be said about French designers APC that hasn’t already been said? They’ve carved their own niche in the casual wear department, and their spring collection is as strong as they’ve ever been. Featuring simple, classy interpretations of vests, overcoats, cardigans, and of course, their signature denim, their focus is on creating well-tailored, fitted classics. Check their site for their men’s and women’s collections, and keep your eye on local retailers.
Supreme just keeps on dropping the hits. With their newest spring line and campaign turning heads, they’ve also announced the release of this splatter-tastic collaboration with Vans. Featuring eras and half cabs in four colour ways – black, white, red and green – these shoes are simple enough to wear with just about anything but flashy enough to turn some heads. Keep on checking your local Supreme boutique, and stay tuned for more info.

Though Dunks, Jordans, and Blazers get tons of love, we’ve always had a soft spot for the stripped-down Cortez. Based on this spring preview, our love is being returned: the new colour ways for the 2009 Cortez are looking great. Though they’re traditionally solid-coloured sneakers, Nike have trimmed the Cortez with multiple colours – and as a result, they almost look like a whole new shoe. Keep your ear to the ground for more info.
The Photographic Dictionary is about to turn four months old.

We’re huge fan of the designs of both Frank Kozik and Muttpop – and when they combine, they’re pretty much unstoppable. They’ve combined on the Lucha Libre Mini Gobi figure, and released some excellent colour ways for each figure – but now, they’re all available together as a collection. The set features the Demonio Rojo, Fallout, Red Tide, Anarchy, and the Murder figures – so if you’d like to have them all, jump on the opportunity and get them right here. At $50, it’s looking like a damn good deal.
We’re all aware that Hiroshi Fujiwara was a huge luminary when it comes to streetwear and designer toys. So, it only makes sense that he’d be memorialized in one of his very mediums, thanks to the good people at Adfunture. Like Johnny Cash, the Japanese visionary is dressed in all black and stand at 6”. Don’t miss out on a tribute to one of the greats; with 250 of these made, head over to Adfunture to get one.
It’s a shame for us in North America that Japan gets a huge bulk of dope releases. One such release is the new line of New Era Series 81 tees. Made from an unlikely, heavyweight cotton, these shirts come in black, white, and purple, and bear a laid-on-thick screen of their shiny gold emblem. If you find yourself making your way across the Pacific, don’t miss out on these!
Talk about a throwback. Asics are looking way, way back to Indo-European days with their newest Zodiac-themed Onitsuka Tiger collection, set to drop this spring. With each shoe emblazoned with an animal representing the Zodiac calendar, there are some beautiful designs in this collection, whether or not you’re into astrology. Look out for these at your local retailers, and check out a promotional video for the collection here (or more images here).
