Via: HypebeastWell-known work-wear brand Carhartt releases new pieces from their USA Limited Collection. The pieces feature the classic Carhartt work-wear design that we all come to know. The difference with the new pieces is that they are more fitted for a more contemporary feel and not original boxed out design that is commonly seen on work-wear. The pieces will be available at the Carhartt stores, which are only found in Europe and Tokyo, and other selected dealers. DREW's Note: I know I won't be seeing it here. There is no Carhartt flagship store in the USA, just a bunch of licensed retailers like Work World. Damn-age!
Via: SneakerNewsThe North Face, mostly known for their durable outdoor apparel and accessories, has flipped the switch with a release of outdoor footwear. Known as the "Back To Berkeley" pack, it offers two boots, a low-top pair and a high-top pair, in vibrant colorways. The lows features a true blue/grey colorway with pink hiker laces. The highs feature a more earthy green/brown colorway with orange hiker laces. The shoes are definitely made for the outdoors-man but, just like their apparel, it isn't limited to that because their are very stylish. The shoes are available at Offspring, with a price tag of 100 Euros. More photos after the jump... DREW's Note: These boots are mad clean. Once again, The North Face puts out another dope product, one that is both functional and stylish. I remember back in high school how everyone wanted to get a North Face backpack because of the straps with the whistle. Ha!
Via: HighsnobietyJapanese designer, Yuki Matsuda, known for his classic Americana brand Yuketen, joins the king of high-end down-coats, Canada Goose, for another collaboration. Just like the first collaboration, Matsuda uses the same silhouettes: a vest, a snorkel bomber, and a thigh-length Expedition jacket. Matsuda uses a colorful and detailed approach to the collection with the bright red and green colorways on the vest and one of the bomber jackets and the exposed snaps and zippers on all the jackets. The collection is very limited and only available at selected Canada Goose retailers with the Canada Goose price tag (easily over $1000). More photos after the jump... DREW's Note: I did a project on Canada Goose and their market for my marketing class back at SFSU and one of my recommendations for keeping the brand loyalist was exactly this, to provide limited edition products. DOPE! Canada Goose is the best of the best when it comes to down jackets. They are an expensive brand but they also offer the highest quality in their products. A definite future purchase...far, far into the future! Ha!
Via: Prolly Is Not ProbablyCinelli links up with San Francisco's Mash, for a collaborative track bike project as part of Cinelli's 2011 collection. The frameset sports a very clean silhouette with a lightweight but sturdy frame and a bull-horn handlebar with a blue/silver/black colorway. Throughout the bike you will notice little accents of the Cinelli and Mash logos. For more details, check out your local Cinelli dealers. For more detailed photos, check after the jump... DREW's Note: Mash and their collaborations are always top notch and it shows in this project. Mash understands the urban bike culture and puts out products that represent that perfectly. I wouldn't mind having this bike, even though I know it will cost a grip! [disappointing sigh]

DREW's Note: 13th Witness is amazing at what he does. I love his humbling background as a kid who honed his technique with the help of Google and the internet. It just comes to show you how a classroom isn't the only place for you to learn to do the things you love.
DREW's Note: Finally! I was juiced when I heard the small sample of this track a while back when the album was known as "Good Ass Job" to everyone. Plus, CyHi Da Prynce is a beast. I was juiced when Ye signed to G.O.O.D. Music. Can't wait for all G.O.O.D. Music releases.
Via: HypebeastAs part of their 2010 Holiday releases, the Jordan Brand will be releasing the newest Winterized Spizike. The boot features a black bottom with a granite/light charcoal colorway upper and purple accents on the laceholes and thick hiking laces. This shoe, which is considered the best Jordan fusion model compared to the many others, will be released in the month of November at all Jordan retailers. DREW's Note: I love Spizikes because it takes the best pieces from the best Jordan to make a functional and stylish shoes. Easily, the best Jordan fusion models. I wanted to get the first brown Winterized Spizikes but the cashflow wasn't there. I would definitely hop on these.
