DQM 5th year Anniversary make over






With the economy in shambles and street wear hitting it’s pinnacle, few shops have been able to stay afloat not to mention sustain a quality fan base. Daves Quality Meat has broken that barrier becoming a mainstay in the New York City culture since their opening five years ago. Celebrating a very successful half decade of memories, DQM has already dropped a sneaker in celebration this year as well as threw a hell of an anniversary party so it was only fitting to give their shop a new look. Take a look at DQM’s make over after the jump.

Nike SB Lance Mountain Clollection



The collaboration Nike Blazer between legendary figures Lance Mountain and Craig Stecyk was only a preview of things to come as we now see a full fledged collection from the ageless skate pro, Lance Mountain. Joining the Nike SB team, Mountain now takes his own spin on the SB Blazer model with a clean black and red silhouette. Combing different leather, the upper takes a tonal approach alongside quilted red lining and a crisp white midsole. Accompanying the kicks, is a small collection of gear incorporating Lance’s artwork. The lineup consists of a matching M-65 style denim jacket, t-shirt and fitted cap. This release can definitely be classified as a return to Nike SB’s original roots.

Nike Blazer Premium QK Pack








Although Nike doesn’t hold the NBA licensing rights, it doesn’t stop the brand from dropping these clever team colorway Blazers. Amongst the featured teams are the Golden State Warriors, Portland Trail Blazers, Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers and the almighty Los Angeles Lakers. The shoes feature an all-suede tonal upper alongside solid colored midsoles. The pack is scheduled to release in October 2008 at select quickstrike accounts worldwide including Mita Sneakers.

THE MAYBACH FOR TRAILER TRASH!!!

Modern Trailer by Paganini.

The flush F.AC.E window system that runs from the three-dimensionally overarched front of the caravan through to the rear, is unique to the Paganini.

A Silverline package features side walls in wood-free sandwich design, where an insulating core of XPS rigid foam plastic provides more static properties, strength, and stability at a relatively low weight.

One of the most important new constructions is the Tabbert premium roof. With a thickness of 6 cm this roof provides optimal thermal insulation and excellent noise protection when it rains.

Indirect lighting in the circumferential ceiling panels, inset LED spots, and reading lamps in the seat group and in the bedroom provide lighting not usually found in recreational vehicles.

It’s no secret Hiroshi Fujiwara and fragment design’s participation alongside Nike on the Tennis Classic this year. The former Tennis Classic has seen no less then two collaborations in a short period of time including this upcoming four-pack of sneakers. In a design ethos which has come to symbolize fragment design, simplicity is at the root as we see solid-colorways marked by a perforated Swoosh, rich suede and a fragment design logo along the heel. The insole also features Zoom Air in an update to this 34 year old classic. These are set for an October 11th release at Nort Berlin however a full release to Tier 0 Nike retailers is expected.
