Crooks.
Only a few seasons into their footwear line, Crooks & Castles has just released a new collection to mark the 2010 holiday season. While the original models were simplistic sneakers, this time around Crooks & Castles has begun to diversify its offerings into more sophisticated profiles. The collection is available now at Karmaloop.

Officially on my Christmas list.
From an overall perspective, Vans has really pushed its footwear agenda OTW to new heights in recent times. The Pritchard is definitely a departure from the most iconic representations of Vans with a much more refined outlook. With a dark upper and wood-like midsole, the Pritchard is undoubtedly the beginnings of big things for Vans and the OTW series.

GPPR.
Ladies and gentleman, after months and months of hard work at the GPPR Headquarters in Downtown Los Angles, I'm proud to announce that GPPR's introduction collection "Rudie Can't Wait" for Holiday 2010 is now in select stores nationwide.
Everyone starts somewhere, and while this concise yet straight-forward collection serves as an introduction for GPPR,it is definitely a season that will not disappoint. Entitled 'Rudie Can't Fail,' the Holiday line is dedicated to the British 2-Tone movement of the late 1970's and the working-class beliefs of the youth at the time. The black and white graphic language illustrates the GPPR ideology and ethos, echoing the 2-Tone messages of positive action and unity. Stemming from a constant immersion in Rude Boy subculture, ska & soul music and 2-Tone fashion, we decided it was an apt theme and message to the current cultural climate. The collection features a contrasting black and white color story as a juxtaposition to the aggressive graphics of the tees. Traditionally, black and white is used as a means of division; between classes, politics and races. However, as with the 2-Tone movement, the monochromatic color scheme was used as a means of unity between medium and message, preacher and choir. In a time when the world has given us just about every reason to turn against one another, as cliche as it seems, what we need now is unity. ‘Rudie Can’t Fail,’ seeks to lay the foundation for future GPPR seasons with a bold exclamation of our principles and beliefs. ‘Nous sommes le pouvoir,’ We are the power.
Holiday 2010 is our Message To You, Rudie, and as far as we can see, ‘Rudie Can’t Fail.’

Gotta have em!
Originally entering the Clarks family in 1977, the Weaver boot has played a prominent role in the Clarks roster over the last few seasons. Sneaker retailer atmos put their own respective touches on this co-branded version of the boot which combines black suede with Harris Tweed materials. Of course the Clarks crepe outsole is once again seen with a release slated for later this month via both atmos and EPROZE.
