Just a few days ago we announced the re-launch of Fuct's website . As of today, the site now has a fully functional webstore where you can purchase the fall/winter line as well as some of the limited edition or Japan-only releases. The standout piece is the Deer Hunter pull over hoody (featured below). This hoody is constructed of actual Mossy Oak camo fleece and features the Fuct ape general embroidered on the chest, with ape woven label on sleeve and inside. Price: $85.00 US.

Reebok have teamed up with world famous graphic designer John Maeda to create the Limited Edition Reebok Timetanium. Designed through a computer process utilizing Maeda's mathematical algorithims, the graphic adorns the outside of the shoe, while the original handwritten code is hidden on the shoes' lining. Maeda is most known for his integration of computer programs and art to create unique designs and this shoe is a much welcomed change of pace from the number of collaborations we are exposed to on a daily basis. Check out the Reebok Custom website for more info.

Japanese label SiFury has released a new option of their popular Mean style in Harris Tweed. Set to begin shipping in time for Christmas, this shoe is available now for pre-order at Zicue. The vulcanized hi-top features a the Herringbone tweed on the side panel and toe cap. This style reminds me of the ubiquitous Vans Sk8 Hi, of which I have many many pairs.  It will retail for around $140 US.

Cockpit, a fashion lifestyle brand out of New York, is inspired by authentic U.S. Military designs and materials. Originally founded in 1977 by Jeff Clyman with the intention of reproducing vintage flight clothing, the brand was only recently relaunched in its current state in 2005. The designs are smart and the you couldn't ask for a better price-point considering the quality of the materials employed. We love the angular panneling on the front of the pea coats and creative use of buttons. See more of the collection and let us know what you think here...

Pegleg NYC updated their website today. Their Holiday 2007 styles are now available through the brand's own online store and should be hitting their retailers soon as well. Pegleg NYC is a brand that has stood out to me from day one and is a good example in how an emerging 'premium streetwear' brand should do things, aesthetically speaking. Pegleg has always had a pretty impressive cut-and-sew line-up and this season have stepped up their t-shirt game and enlisted the aid of New Era in producing a couple of fitted hats.

If you ever read the 'Dont Believe The Hypebeast' (DBTH) blog that was around last year (until its publishers were outed), you'll know in what vein its content was written. The site was pretty biting in its critique of streetwear as a global phenomenon and the social and community dynamics involved therein. Most of the time it was pretty dead-on, sometimes it was way off, but it was always cruel. When I stumbled upon this site, it reminded me of DBTH and I thought I should post it.
