Supreme x Budweiser Collection
Supreme’s next collaborative capsule collection is done with American beer brand Budweiser. The collection consists of shirts. t-shirts, caps, tote bags, hats and more, all plastered with with Supreme x Budweiser graphics. The clothing with the all over print is definitely too heavy for our eyes, but the t-shirts and accessories work from an aesthetic stand-point.
Rocksmith x Black Star
Today Rocksmith will release two t-shirts to commemorate the highly anticipated on-stage return of Black Star, the legendary duo of Mos Def and Talib Kweli. The two designs will be available during the Black Star show at Nokia Theater in NYC. A limited quantity will also be available on Karmaloop.com.

Teamworks Summer 2009 Collection
For Summer 2009, Teamworks presents a minimalist collection inspired by the lean and unsteady times being experienced the world over. The “Peace Leaf” represents the personal tranquility that can be achieved by herbal introspection; something the world needs much more of, while the “Air Liberty” is a cheeky commentary on the commodification of American societal ideals. Both were created by Alexander Dawson, who also did the Teamworks “T” from Fall 2008. “The Rose” by Damon Johnson is a simple yet iconic symbol of both the beauty and the struggle of life, the blooming flower representing the goal while the stem represents the path and the blood shed along the way.

Nike Zoom Fun Police - Los Angeles Lakers

The shoes sport a suede construction, along with the Fun Police logo on the back ankle tab. No word yet as to a release or if they are actual PE’s but we’ll keep you guys informed.
