NIKE SB X LEVI'S 511

The latest hype on the street is about the upcoming collaboration between Nike SB and Levi's. The collaboration pack will include two Nike SB versions of Levi's most popular Jean, the 511. The two versions include the Made in the USA 511 Skateboarding Team Edition and the 511 Skateboarding Jeans. Both jeans feature a double branded leather patch at the rear with a more durable denim sourced from the renowned Cone Mills finished with Levi's WaterLess process. Both versions come in an array of colours and washes, and below is a sneak peak at a pair of the 511 Skateboarding Jean in black denim with Nike's famous Tiffany coloured in-seams.

Supporting the collection will be two pairs of shoes and a trucker jacket. The shoes include the Levi's x Nike Omar Salazar LR Signature shoe and a version of the Nike Dunk Pro SB.

The collab is set to drop next month, for now here are some previews and the Omar Salazar promo clip.

NVMBR SS12 DROP #1


Bristol streetwear brand NVMBR have just released their first Spring/Summer drop of 2012.

This year they have worked really hard to produce some very high quality pieces. The drop may be very small but the attention to detail in the products is second to none, and its a good indication of what this brand can have to offer in future. They are yet another small UK brand really stepping up the game in quality premium streetwear and certainly ones to watch out for.

Their first of two SS12 drops includes a very nice cut & sew pocket t-shirt hand made in Bristol. It features a blue shell type patterned fabric for the pocket with a woven label to add that final bit of quality. The second item is a burgundy chino 5-Panel cap. This cap has a very fresh and clean feel with its solid burgundy colour finished with a black leather embossed front patch. It doesn't jump out at you like a lot of the crazy caps coming out at the moment but the subtlety creates a sense of quality and class to the cap.

Both items are available from nvmbrstreetwear.com but be quick as both items are produced in limited numbers.

ENCLAVE SAME AS ALWAYS SS12

Enclave are one of my favourite UK brands and this summer they have dropped one hell of a collection.

The quality of the products in this latest range is impeccable and is something you would normally expect from a big wealthy brand however Enclave have come through and set the bar for small UK brands.

The 'Same as Always' spring/summer collection includes a set of very impressive and well designed shorts featuring contrast pattern roll ups, available in 3 colour ways, Olive/Flecktarn, Sand/Beo-Gam and my favourite Navy/Paisley.

Other products include two tone button down shirts and an array of t-shirts with the Enclave style designs of photographic images, text and shapes.

The new collection is available from  enclave-apparel.com but be quick as I can;t image the stock will be around for long.
