Casio x Subcrew “We Shock The World”

June 26, 2009

In association with the upcoming Casio G-SHOCK “We Shock The World” campaigns, Hong Kong brand Subcrew and their well-known hat offerings have teamed up to provide the official cap of choice for the campaign. The hats are based on past G-SHOCK colorways done by Subcrew and Casio as part of the Unity collection.

CASIO G-SHOCK x SUBCREW “WE SHOCK THE WORLD” Snapback Hats

I will admit that I am not too impressed with Subcrew’s work with these snapbacks. Honestly, I would not offer to pay over $15 for one of this simply because they look as if they could be bought at a bodega shop on the corner. However, I will say that I do like the simplicity of the hat, and of course, I appreciate that they sport the snapback feature. If I had to choose from one of the hats above, I’d choose the yellow/blue cap of the red/white cap.

Those are my thoughts, what are yours?


New Era 506 NECJ Bike Cap

May 21, 2009

Based on New Era’s own 506 empire style short-brim cap comes a re-interpretative cycling-inspired version. The 506 NECJ does away with the traditional longer brim with a small multi-colored stripe design seen underneath. The snap-back style in cotton twill comes in a few different colorways such as black, red, blue, purple and yellow.New Era 506 NECJ Bike CapAs I said yesterday, I absolutely love the snap-back style. To me, fitted hats are beginning to become played and snap-backs are beginning to make a re-entrance into fashion and streetwear. The New Era’s mixed with the bold colors mixed with the multi-colored stripe on the underside makes for a deadly combination. This cap is dope. What do you think?

To me, having Malcolm Mclaren and Supreme tag-team an apparel collection is just bonkers. The lineup, seen after the jump, is pretty sid vicious in terms that I loved each item.

The Hundreds Summer 2009 New Era Caps

Here I take a glance at the upcoming New Era caps. The LA brand brings back previous designs, such as the Adam Bomb Outline cap, but also introduces new styles. Overall they keep it classic and do not go too wild on the hats, something I can definitely appreciate. Colorways are well chosen, giving you some fresh looks during the hotter months of the year.

Futura Laboratories Denim Mesh Cap

May 7, 2009

Here is a new hat brought to us by Futura Laboratories. I must say that I do love this cap, like a lot. I am not too sure why because it is not the most stylish or impressive cap that I have posted on or seen, but yet, it draws me to it. It might by the simplicity mixed with the denim mixed with the bold FL on the front, but I am not too sure. Anyway, I like it, especially the purple one, as you know, so I wanted to share them with you all.
