Puma "Tommie Smith" Clyde

Puma's relationship with track star Tommie Smith dates back to the 1960’s. He was a sponsored PUMA athlete & took home the gold medal in the 200M in the 1968 Mexico City Olympics with the world record time of 19.83 seconds. As they received their medals, Tommie Smith and his teammate John Carlos (who finished third in the 200m sprint) raised a black-gloved fist, representing the change in civil rights in the US and throughout the world.

 After setting 7 individual world records in track & field, Tommie played professional football for the Cincinnati Bengals for one season and was elected into the National Track & Field Hall of Fame in 1978. A tribute to this brave athlete and his favorite pair of PUMA sneakers, the Clyde in navy suede, the Tommie Smith Clyde collection features 2 exclusive Clyde offerings.

Blue Suede Clydes:
These are the shoes that Tommie wore on the podium in the 1968 Olympic games. They have been lined with a metallic gold leather lining, a reference to his gold medal win. Other details include an embossed gold medal FOT, Mexico City reference on the sockliner & lateral and the tongue labels display his record breaking time of 19.83 s in the 200M race.

Gold Clydes:
An upper made out of metallic gold leather, with an embossed 1968 Mexico City Olympic gold medal all over pattern. Other details include an embossed gold medal FOT, Mexico City reference on the sockliner & lateral and the tongue labels display his record breaking time of 19.83 seconds in the 200M race.

Engineered Garments pop up store - New York

"Den, the small space next to Odin's East Village store has become a second home for emerging designers or popular indie labels without a boutique to call their own. Previous residences by Tim Hamilton, Robert Geller, and others have given Den the designer bona fides of a much larger operation while offering shoppers a carousel of aesthetics and choices (the space is slightly renovated for each occupant.) But perhaps no visitor has arrived at Den with more luggage than its newest temporary boarder, the GQ/CFDA-award-winning brand, Engineered Garments. Fittingly for a brand that bases its aesthetic on the workwear of turn-of-the-century miners and laborers (albeit with a smart, urbane twist), Engineered Garments and its head designer, Daiki Suzuki, have collaborated with Den's staff to transform the space into a tribute to the traditional American General store." 

Thanks to the Refinery29 for the photos and info.

JR - PARIS

JR is known for pasting large scale photographs of people in public space. He started pasting his works in paris around 3 or 4 years and only recently he has started to receive the recognition he deserves. 'The street provides me with the support, the wall, the atmosphere, but especially the people. Depending on where I put the photo, the whole thing changes,' he says.  His recent work in the favelas in Rio de Janeiro is quite simply mind blowing.
