Even with the passing of Hurricane Irene, Mother Nature seems not to let up. With more storms and hurricanes in the forecast for the time being, perhaps its time to invest in a pair of rain-boots, though you no longer need settle with the traditional clunky and clumsy designs. Introducing the Jimmy Duck Boots from Native Shoes, classic duck boots silhouette with several improvements, including a hearty rip-stop nylon upper and funky, vibrant colour ways. Most importantly, the boots are less than $90 each. Available in a variety of colors at your local Urban Outfitters retail locations and online store.
The mark of genius Graffiti, Futura 2000 Clarks Originasl working with for the next Fall / Winter. We know that will not please fans of classic British firm, but will certainly have its adherents. The Wallabees are nylon and the famous crepe sole. Grab them at Hanon Shop.
Japanese designer Alexander Lee Chang is not new to collaborating with Vans. After having worked already on the Sk8 Hi and the Era in previous collaborations, he now presents his design on the Chukka. The patent leather upper features the classic checker black/white patter and some smaller design accents on the tongue and mid-sole.
Keds continues its alliance with designer Mark McNairy about the two linking up on another footwear project, this time revolving around the Booster model. Carrying an overall timeless look, the Booster’s initial offering will come in three canvas colorways, each outfitted with gum and black outsoles with silver eyelets and white laces. Look for them soon through finer Keds retailers.
After the ‘Paris’ Skytop, we present today the new Supra ‘New York’ Vaider, which celebrates yet another Supra flagship store opening. The NYC Vaider features a grey satin TUF upper, “NYC” embroidered in black on the collar, a black vulcanized toe bumper, a checkered sock liner, a yellow and black sole, and comes with a custom skyscraper hang tag.
Limited to 100 pairs, the sneaker celebrates the opening of the new New York City store and will release on the opening day, July 16th, 2011.

Supra has just released the pack “Black & Yellow” made by Tom Penny and Terry Kennedy Bandit. Made of black suede and leather mustard, all I can add is that it is a color combination that never fails.
