After releasing a massively successful collaboration last year, Kith NYC’s Ronnie Fieg and Caminando decided to come together once more for S/S ‘12 to give us the Nolita (pictured), a low-top shoe with pigskin lining that is designed to be worn without socks. Summer perfection!
Rapper Theophilus London’s notable style has led to several fashion ventures, including a jewelry and hat line. Now, he’s collaborated with Del Toro on a pair of luxe, velvet loafers!
Joining Mr. London in the exclusive club of successful hip-hop footwear collaborators, Stones Throw artist Aloe Blacc drew inspiration from Olympic gold medalist Abebe Bikila for his sneaker addition to the Adidas Consortium collection.
By now, Stussy has mastered the art of a thoughtful collaboration, and this season the iconic streetwear brand teamed up with Converse for a sneaker collection featuring of-the-moment camo print and sleek leather finishes.
Perennial collaborators Mark McNairy and Union Los Angeles have released plenty of classic yet approachable designs together. Most recently they’re graciously giving us the Saddle Waxed Country Brogue Version 3, a classic country shoe counteracted with a bright, colorful commando sole.
It’s almost summer, and most of us here at POOL are scrambling to stock our wardrobes with graphic tees, snapbacks, and outlandish prints from this summer’s streetwear pieces! Check out some of our favorite streetwear brands’ answers to all of our summer style needs:
After the crazy success of their Aya Cloud hat (pictured), In4mation has decided to release it to the masses for an encore! Produced in limited numbers, so cop yours A.S.A.P.
The streetwear veterans over at Stussy epitomized California summer steeze in their summer 2012 collection, rife with tropical prints and some collaborative pieces from Herschel Supply Co.
We love bi-coastal collaborations, and this summer we can look forward to an NY/SF love affair with the Mighty Healthy x Benny Gold capsule collection!
True to character, Mishka enlisted a number of colorful characters (Main Attraktionz, anyone?) to do justice to their lively summer pieces in their 2012 lookbook, shot in the bay area!
Besides your iPhone and car keys, sunglasses are the one summer item that you CANNOT leave home without. Luckily, streetwear legends FUCT have crafted a pair of timeless sunnies for summer that are sure to complement anything you decide to throw on this season.
