It should go without saying that by now, in late 2009…after a few solid years of kicks and clothes draped in all-over prints and crazy colors, a move towards simpler and more refined styles and colorways would make a push. Not to say all that is now “simple” or “clean”, is good. The market still has it’s fair share of wild/loud products that gets things just right (ex. Cassette Playa, Jeremy Scott Adidas and most “O by O” releases, and of course anything Mishka). This newer direction has been here for a while, taking looks to a more sophisticated place, but also maintaining it’s edge by choosing to stick to innovative designs, fresh twists on a classic, and of course proper attention to quality.

In streetwear we’ve seen brands like 10 Deep and Mishka put their cut & sew design aesthetics in the forefront. 3Sixteen is actually a golden example, as they’ve made a complete transition into a well-rounded menswear brand, absolutely perfecting street fashions that easily convert into versatile styles that can be dressed up as well.

With unwashed raw, selvage denim as a staple wardrobe piece, it’s only fitting that more mature and polished sneaker styles have become both the staple and highly sought after in one’s collection. We’ve been proud to rock with Vans, who have perfected this look over quite some time, and being now well into the Fall season we’re excited to offer 2 new styles that are sure to add some smoothness to your ensemble.

The first style debuts from the “California” collection - the Switchback, comes in a coated black canvas upper, dark gum bottom, and bi-color boot laces.

The now 4th color of Zapato Del Barco’s we’ve received, has become an easy favorite of ours. This “almond” colorway with brass eyelets is just perfection.
