Coming to a Galaxy Near You in 2010…

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

OM-freaking-G! Earlier in the week, one of my favorite brands, Adidas Originals — a house imprint that revives classic designs — announced that it has partnered with Lucasfilm to produce a line of Star Wars-inspired track jackets and sneakers featuring classic characters and moments.

The exact deets are still hazy at this point, but the image embedded below provides a tasty hint of what’s to come. I think it’s safe to say that there will be a mix of limited edition items and mass-produced designs. Click on the pic for the official press release.

File under: two great tastes that taste great together.

Assorted Threads (Link Roundup, 6/24/2009)

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Lots of tee-bits to report on this week.

First up, after a long gestation period, Found Item Clothing (.com) has unveiled a series of original designs. We proudly present the Gamecock sketch shirt. Inspired by a deep-seated appreciation of Americana (and the joy of simple doodling), this beauty is printed on the back of American Apparel 50/50 Unisex Crew Neck shirts in two rich color tones, heather plum (pictured) and heather blue. Snap one up for yourself — or a friend — today!
