Hellz shares their new Spring 2010 collection, ‘Obsessed With You’. The collection “reflects an obscure view of modern fashion and the obsession that it becomes. A minimal color story reflects the theme of obsession with the main focus on the unique and simplistic details of each silhouette. [...] Hellz continues to cross boundaries with well thought-out design and carefully crafted details as well as demonstrating that fashion may be work to some and it may be a hobby for others, but for popular culture it will forever be an obsession.”

Bodega and Converse have once again joined forces – this time to re-imagine the Poorman Weapon as a sophisticated beast yet unseen by the world. Transforming the original silhouette into a super high-top that can be worn rolled down, the focus of this project was to achieve harmony between the chosen materials. An extra high refined waxed canvas upper is paired with a supple deerskin lining to make this Poorman’s Weapon seem not quite so poor.

Part of Girl’s Spring collection is the deck seen above. Designed for Rick Howard, the clever graphic calls to attention the often overlooked aspect that although it can be used as a blank canvas, a deck is first and foremost meant to be skated on, while the graphic comes second. We can tend to forget that nowadays with the current abundance of artist series, collaborations, and such. Thanks, Girl.

While the Jordan II is often regarded as the red-headed stepchild of Js, there’s no denying the lux appeal of this latest retro. SNS agrees. “I wish the feeling of the leather could come across better in pictures. These extra buttery Air Jordan 2 are made in the smoothest Italian leather you can find, and just because they can – Brand Jordan also give you shoetrees and the kind of shoe bag you would get if you paid top dollar for your new suit shoes.” Jordan shoe trees?
