KR3W 2010 Footwear Preview - Grant

Highsnobiety has been previewing the new KR3W 2010 Footwear Collection and the third model to be revealed is the Grant. This clean, mid-cut sneaker is my favourite from the collection so far, and will be dropping in black suede, brown leather and grey canvas.







Now for anyone interested in checking of the first two models, here they are: the hi-top Franklin and the low-cut Jackson.

Raf Simons Astronaut Sneakers: UNBELIEVABLE

Classic Raf Simons Astronaut Hi-Tops in British classic racing green leather.

Produced every season in a new colour and new materials, these bad boys feature paneled leather with an ankle strap, double tongue and a zip up pocket on the heel.

Sadly, these sell for an absolutely devastating $833.39 on oki-ni (that's ¥75, 368.19 for anyone who's asking).

New goal: To be able to purchase these comfortably by 25.





You can get them right here, if your bank account can withstand.

Invincible x OriginalFake Tees & Hoodies

Taiwanese retailer Invincible teams up with OriginalFake for an upcoming collaboration on an ultra-sweet tee and hoodie combo. Featuring some familiar OriginalFake branding such as the 'X X' and Chomper print, both are available in a black/purple and red/black colourway along with others that have not been named yet.

Unfortunately, these will only be available online or in Japan, so I guess I'm out of luck.

Release date is February 6th.







You can get a better look at these right here.

visvim Abarth Moc Denim-Folk

Just thought I'd post this new visvim release on the ol' blogski, even though I know about 95% of the world's population can't afford these shoes.

But yeah, these are one of the better drops from visvim that I've seen lately.









This low top shoe features a raw denim upper with canvas/metal detailing and visvim's signature sneaker-like outsole.

Update!

Hey everyone,

So yesterday was my last shift at Chapters, since I was a seasonal employee. Unfortunately I wasn't kept on the "Chapters Team" as a permanent hire but oh well.

I'm going to try and make another V-log in the next week or so. Things are pretty hectic with exams and all that but I'll do my best.

Annnnnd it's 8:30 in the morning. I should probably go to school.

Peace out!

V-log #2 For Wednesday

Soo...

I couldn't get my webcam to work properly, but I will get the V-log done and up on YouTube and this here blog by Wednesday!

To anyone who would like to know, my channel is TheJoshBall. I know it's very barren right now with only one video, I didn't really think anyone would like to see more aha.

So I will start posting V-logs more often, hoping for maybe one a week, or something along those lines.

Thank you to all of the subscribers and viewers so far!

My. Webcam. Is. GARBAGE.

AHHHHHHHH!!!

So everyone, I went shopping in Toronto today with my good buddy Nic and I picked up some of the nicest stuff I've ever bought. Ohh man, what a good start to 2010. Two legitimately mind-blowing days in a row. Luck was just on my side today, everything I wanted to buy was there and available for me.

I really wanted to V-log this and showcase all of the stuff I got, and still plan to do just that, just my webcam does not seem to want to cooperate at this moment and can't keep a clear picture after the first minute of video.

I won't give anything away, except for the fact I just picked up the new Nike Blazer Mid 3GX that dropped THIS MORNING.

SOO SICK.








Soo yeah, as you all gather yourselves after that picture (ruin a few towels, i don't know) I'll be tooling away at my webcam to find the source of these problems, and hopefully get a video up tomorrow.

Until then, stay sweet.
