Levi’s x Cone Mills – Limited Edition 505 Denim

Levi’s and Cone Mills have collaborated on a limited edition run of the Levi’s 505 style jeans. The 505 model from Levi’s was originally released in 1967 and is cut slimmer than the San Francisco-based brand’s signature 501 style. The collaboration with Cone Mills is a great merger of two American brands who both have rich histories. The Cone Mills story actually dates all the way back to 1845 when it’s founder, Herman Kahn, moved with his sister’s family from Germany to the United States in search for a new beginning. Upon arriving in America the family began to grow and over time began to acquire various cotton and denim mills, some of which produce the high quality denim that Cone Mills is known for today. The Levi’s x Cone Mills Limited Edition 505 Denim will be available at the Levi’s San Francisco flagship space as well as the new Levi’s Concept Store in New York City’s Meatpacking district and will retail at a price of $178 USD. via HB

Nike SB Dunk High Premium – Iron Man/Un Lobster

Nike SB Dunk High Premium “Iron Man” (or “Un Lobster” as you wish) is now freshly served on shoe racks. These Nike boots are made with a red suede upper with yellow and black accents built to look like Iron Man’s indestructible suit, are right here as expected in the new release. Since the suede upper doesn’t give the sneaker a high gloss effect Iron Man’s suit has, the other moniker for the premium release has been “Un Lobster”. Whether you are looking for something indestructible or savory, the shoes are available now at select retailers such as Premier.

Derrick Rose’s Signature Shoe: adidas adiZero Rose

While Derrick Rose has been with adidas since he entered the League, this year he finally gets his own signature shoe. Introducing the adidas adiZero Rose. Weighing in at 12.8 ounces, it’s the lightest signature basketball shoe adidas has ever created, and features a mix of textiles and synthetics that help reduce weight and increase stability during cutting movements. Also one cool thing to note is that adidas’ iconic three stripes are on the back of the shoe instead of the side, that way defenders can see them after he’s speeding by them on the court.
“The adiZero Rose is light – the lightest basketball shoe I’ve ever worn and it’s very flexible and reliable on the court to help me run faster and cut quicker,” says Rose. “I never thought growing up on the South Side of Chicago that I would have my own signature shoe, so I’m really proud and I know my family and the city are going to be really proud too. It’s a clean cut fashion shoe so you put some jeans over it and you can look good off the court.”
The adiZero Rose will launch in a black/red/white colorway on Friday, October 22, and will roll out in five different colorways through February. It will be sold exclusively at Foot Locker and Eastbay for $100.
