ON & BEYOND

The Special Force Boot (SFB) Chukka from NSW takes some inspiration from the US Army Jungle boots of the 1970′s. While the nylon and suede exterior resemble the influencors, Nike have replaced the RO-SEARCH sole from the 70′s with their own NIKE FREE soles giving it that sportswear factor. I wanna thank Claire from NSW for getting these out to me as they will come quite useful when braving the harsh canadian weather.

They should be available at your local Quickstrike Accounts in a Dark Obsidian or Tan colorway.

US ARMY JUNGLE BOOTS – 1970s

One of my favorite shops when I was in Tokyo, was hoping I would find some scraps of the Gyakusou collection…but it was long sold out. I did however find some great cottonduck workpants by Head Porter Plus which will later be photographed and showcased on an upcoming edition of I WISH THEY MADE THIS FOR GIRLS.

The release of the AW77 Tech Hoodie is the main reason behind my latest adventures with the Nike Sportswear troop. Being the main attraction to Nike’s latest “More than a Hoodie” campaign, the AW77 Tech Hood sports the classic AW77 silhouette, shares the same up-to-the-chin zippers to block out the elements and offers exceptional warmth with it’s select French looped cotton. Along with it’s taped seams and premium materials, is its ability to preserve its same prime shape. Oh and… it’s fully water-repellent!

I came home with a couple of gifts, thanks NSW.

Avid readers of this website will notice my unhealthy obsession with shit that’s waterproof, weatherproof, tear-proof, shatterproof or anything else that is immoderately technical… the ACG line has much improved in the last year, from the introduction of the Lunar Wood with Danish brand Wood Wood, ACG is proving to be on the same page as NSW and Pinnacle. This newly released Lunar Wood+ features the same technical assets as the W.W. project; meaning polymer coated tip and mudguard, ripstop nylon upper, and the same Lunarlon outsole with Dynamic support. These things will keep you dry and running in the worst conditions.

Available here and other NSW accounts.

I’m working closely with NSW on a project (this isn’t it), but I took photos of the new FW10 collection that just arrived at OTH. The actual photo project I’m curating will be featured at the NSW Mavericks event taking place this Thursday at 1021a Ste-Catherine St; official NSW embroidery machines will be in place, customizing Nike’s famous AW77 Hoodies for the swoosh fanatics. It starts at 5pm and ends at 10pm, if you are in town make sure to be there.
