100 Styles and Running | The Abbott

Founded in 2006 by two brothers, 100 Styles And Running is a new contemporary mens sportswear shoe brand. They define their designs as a meaningful re-interpretation of the past, which means that while being innovative, all-time classics still remain one of their major inspirations.

We present you the Abbott model here, which is part of their Summer ‘08 collection. The Abbott is a retro high top sneaker, slightly more sophisticated than your usual shoe that you come across. Premium materials and color ways are the standard in the collection.

There is a lot more to come from the brand. We would compare them to Clae for example, another shoe brand that has come back strong in the recent year.

Check out some more images of the Abbott after the jump.

Seeing Sounds Album Cover

Okay maybe I`m a bit too excited about the N.E.R.D return even though I officially started listening to them like 2 months ago.  (The moment I found out that I could go to Glow In The Dark, even though I can`t go now…)  When I first saw this cover it looked really good.  Like really good!  Good look to N.E.R.D.

Goodfoot Round 2

The whole United Front is really making a lot of noise this season.  Round two of Goodfoot`s reign of terror in Canada includes tees made by Josh Pong of Brknhome for the Vancouver Goodfoot which addresses the Heroin problem in Van-City.  There will also be a series of Rock and Roll Tennis tees which go perfectly with the splatter New Era fitteds.  A must cop for the summer.
