Concepts and Asics Collaborate – We Like
Concepts and Asics have come together for a truly unique sneaker collaboration. Dubbed the “Mix & Match” pack, four different colorways of the GEL-Lyte V are presented, each of which can easily be paired with the other color iterations and various laces. Each set is sold separately, although customers are encouraged to purchase multiple editions in order to be able to mix and match. Thus, each sneaker comes equipped with four sets of laces that match all colorways.
The shoes have been done up in premium leather, neoprene, nubuck and mesh, featuring Concepts branding via a woven flag label, as well as custom Concept-branded insoles. Each pair comes packaged in a Concepts exclusive box.
The Concepts x ASICS GEL-Lyte Vs will be releasing in-store at Concepts’ Cambridge and NYC locations as well as online.

Paul Smith for Caran d’Ache
Paul Smith who has been a regular user of the 849 for many years wished to pay a distinctive tribute to Caran d’Ache to celebrate the 100th anniversary.
Thirty shades that featured in Paul Smith’s recent fashion collections have been added to 70 of Caran d’Ache’s colour chart selected by him. The Caran d’Ache craftsmen have then produced the designer’s special assortment of 100 pieces, where each 849 pen carries his signature. This harmonious, stunning composition of colours calls for a special presentation box worthy of its contents. Caran d’Ache and Paul Smith have created a stylish metal box in immaculate white that dramatically highlights the colours inside. A narrow window in the top of the box subtly reveals the band of stripes that is his famous motif.
This creative collaboration has also produced a limited edition of 849 that has become a fashion icon, in 10 exclusive pastel shades selected by Paul Smith.

Stio – Cool Brand For The Winter
Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Stio was founded to inspire connection with the outdoors through beautiful, functional products. This sounds like advertising lingo – and yes, it is. However Stio is really cool. The textiles are sourced in the US, Italy and Switzerland and the production is largely still in the US. Sit has really great functional clothes. But we are not that technical driven and really like the winter beanies. What do you think?
