 Mastermind JAPAN x Nike Dunk Premium Hi MMJ

mastermind JAPAN designer, Masaaki Honma, is undoubtedly pulling all of the strings before he closes the curtain on his successful brand next year. With only few months to go until the completion of the Japanese label, Honma welcomes Nike into the mix. Most likely, this will be the last time these iconic companies will work together, making these sneakers highly collectible. Honma chose the classic Dunk Hi silhouette, converting the basketball shoes into premium footwear. Both styles are constructed from top grade leather, but in particular, the all black version uses polished panache leather. mastermind JAPAN logo is visible on the heel and outsole of the shoes. Limited quantities will be on sale at Dover Street Market Ginza, Isetan Men’s Shinjuku, and Hankyu Men’s Osaka from this Saturday, December 8.\

 So authentic are these HEAD PORTER PLUS Pea Coats, it is easy to why they can be mistaken for the military issued ones. Kept to Melton Wool construct, designers at the Japanese label re-worked the classic outerwear with many essential details. Some are direct replicas from the original, like is anchor embellished buttons. Others, like the screen printed interior lining and corduroy lined hand-warming pockets, are not. Cut to a more fitted silhouette, each, like the original, also features a mil-spec name tag on the inside. Comes in Navy or Black, now available at select retailers such as HAVEN of Canada.

Gap has been going strong with men's khakis and five-pocket pants in every color under the sun and the brand is sticking with the wide array of trouser offerings come next spring. Whether garment dyed or in saturated hues, the bottoms continue the recent trend we've been seeing that makes us question wearing denim down below. The brand tops things off with classic American sportswear, like striped polos and buttondowns, in dusty hues shown with some standout lightweight outerwear, particularly two garment washed trucker jackets that are a nice twist on the classic piece.
