illegitnyc — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 13:21:25 +0000

The varsity jacket has been making its rounds in the collections of many streetwear companies lately but this version done by ARC in collaboration with Mitchell & Ness is one of the best I have seen in awhile. Only a few sneek peek pics have surfaced so far but it looks like they really did a great job with their take on the classic varsity jacket. The pics and info below are courtesy of Highsnobiety.com

Classic American brand Mitchell & Ness has gotten together with A.R.C. to produce a couple of varsity jackets. Coming in black/purple and black/red, both jackets feature classic white leather sleeves and a series of custom patches and embroideries. Soon we will be able to tell you more about the release.

Until then, check out detailed images of the Mitchell & Ness for A.R.C. varsity jackets

this is the only picture that has been leaked of the Air Force 1 that is releasing the day after thanksgiving this year. Rumor has it the shoe is black all over and uses a few different materials (3m, pony hair…) but no pictures have shown exactly what.

Releasing on Black Friday (November 28th), this special Air Force 1 sneaker will be first available at Nike Sportswear at 21 Mercer in New York (on sale from 4am), followed by releases at Concepts (Boston) and Shoe Gallery (Miami) later that day. DJ Clark Kent will be present at each location on 11.28.

according to Kanye this is not the finished version and I have read some negative comments towards this new track off his upcoming album but I think its pretty good. This is the most upbeat track leaked so far and yet it still fits the theme of his upcoming album.

by far one of the best cop movies…

REEBOK PUMP NYC POP UP SHOP

illegitnyc — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 08:41:15 +0000

I am a big fan of the PUMP so its nice to see they are doing a pop up shop here in nyc, with a new pair releasing each week we should get to see some interesting colorways. The info below is courtesy of freshnessmag.com

The Reebok Pump is arguably one of the best known sneakers to date, and one of the best known sneakers to come out from the Reebok brand. Despite the shoe’s long tenure in the sneaker world, the Reebok Court Victory Pump has continued to be remixed and revamped by the brand, keeping the shoe fresh and relevant.

Starting on November 15th, Reebok will open up a pop-up store, named FLASH in New York City that will be open for one month only. Each week, Reebok will release an exclusive pair of their classic sneakers that will be available for purchase for a very limited time of one week only. For the jump off, Reebok will be releasing a newly styled Court Victory Pump that will be available for purchase during the Reebok’s FLASH shop’s opening week. The Pump will feature a mostly yellow upper with turquoise accents on the pump and the top lace hole. The other accents on the upper of this Pump will be a red mid-panel, along with a textured, loop of red on the upper part of the heel with “NYC” embroidered below in turquoise bordered by some decorative dots. The sole features a clean white colorway with some yellow and turquoise accents. Along with the part of the shoe that is visible to a passer-by, the in-sole features an “ATM” logo surrounded by beer bottles, truly a steadfast image of NYC.
