If you want to match your new Original Fake Stormtrooper Companion toy, then we found the right piece for you. Marc Ecko continues their Star Wars collection this fall and the “Real Trooper Hoodie” stood out. It had to be done at some point, we are actually surprised it took so long. Zip-front hoodie features “Storm Trooper” body and the hood looks like a mask.

The hoodie is available now in the Marc Ecko online store

Recently we have seen the Nike Blazer Hi “Tiger Woods”. Here we present you now the latest Blazer Hi Premium, coming also with a lot of wood details. The mid-sole got an authentic wooden look, as well as the toe box and the back heel. Otherwise the Blazer is kept rather simple, with a black leather upper and silver swoosh.

Mita will be releasing it on October 4th.

Here’s something for the ladies! Nike has released two new colors of the Nike Vandals for the Fall season. With the bright colored stitching and shiny leather, these Vandals remind us of Dr Marten boots without the chunkiness of the boot’s silhouette. These are now available atProper.

he much anticipated Storm Trooper KAWS Companion from OriginalFake was released at the OriginalFake store in Tokyo. As expected, fans, collectors and resellers lined up on a Saturday morning to get their hands on one of these figures. Only 1000 pieces were produced, many of them popping up on Japanese auctions sites right after the release. Those that were unable to purchase one will most likely have to get it the hard way (eBay, Yahoo Auctions japan) in order to complete their Star Wars Companion collection (with the Darth Vader Companion).

The latest venture from Yoji Yamamoto is Coming Soon. A more youthful line than his flagship, Coming Soon has led things off with the release of a simple set of sneakers. Canvas uppers with rubber soles may not be ground breaking, but Yamamoto manages to tease some new life into the concept and not rehash old looks too directly. They come in both white and black.
