While much of the 2008 fall/winter collection’s October releases from Mad Foot! include some rather gaudy designs with Nike Zvezdochka-esque Mad Daaam 1s and liberally decorated snakeskin Mad Witness Los, there is a light at the end of the tunnel as the releases are offset by three versions of the Mad Lander. The hiking boot derivative features solid leather uppers with the matching of tonal snakeskin materials which should be almost entirely covered up by your pants anyways. Look for these to release at select retailers next month.

lupe album certified Gold
Posted in Music Drops with tags Lupe Fiasco/Gold/Music on September 15, 2008 by gumsoleIn the latest digital age, nobody needs to tell you that music sales are dwindling which makes Lupe Fiasco’s sophomore album “Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool” and its official certification for gold in the United States all the more impressive. We were more then surprised when this display landed on our door-step as an homage to Fiasco’s feat of selling over 500,000 copies. The impressive piece features a detailed image of the Chicago-native alongside both a golden LP and the monumental CD. A descriptive panel outlines the achievement and the special RIAA designation. A big congratulations and thanks to Lupe Fiasco and his team.

New to the lineup are a set of caps featuring gun motifs, topped off by their own take on a patterned M-65 field jacket. Certainly some strong items from Crooks & Castles.
