Artistic brothers-in-arms WK INTERACT & SHEPARD FAIREY joined forces in a full-frontal Franco-American assault on Japan last week titled “THE EAST/WEST PROPAGANDA PROJECT“ when they took over the Tokyo Wonder Site with a little help from legendary clothier AGNES B. After running wild in the streets for several days launching a full-scale bombing campaign on the walls of the city, the pair got down to business, creating an epic collaborative installation at TWS in Shibuya, as well as a smaller exhibit at the Agnes B shop where the pair were on hand to meet and greet their fans and sign just about anything the crowd put in front of them. The show remains on display in Tokyo through April 22nd, after which it will travel to the Galerie Du Jour Agnes B in Paris for an opening on May 16th.

The ‘Tartan’ Team Edition and the Harbor are a Canada Strange Brew pack. Some details thanks to Matt George (Goodfoot):
UNITED FRONT for NIKE SB.
“STRANGE BREWâ€Â
Dylan , Jesar , and myself worked on this project over two years ago for SB and its great to finally see it coming to fruition. I’ll add some sneak peaks this week , for now read the background.
When SCTV was confronted by the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for elegedly not having enough Canadian content on their show, comedians Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas simultaneously met the challenge and thumbed their noses at the government agency by creating two characters that would embody all that the world assumed to be true about Canada and Canadians. The McKenzie Brothers were an instant hit and have since come to represent Canadians’ ability to see their place in the world with a sense of humor and a grain of salt … or at least a jelly donut eh?
SCTV’s influence has been huge, as has Canada’s contribution to humor in both Television and film throughout North American culture, but Bob and Doug would be way pissed off if we failed to mention Canada’s other contributions to the world in the form of donuts, beer, hockey, winter, and – uh – more beer.
The project takes all these influences to heart while trying to translate and integrate something of Canada into the world of Nike SB. Winter gear and traditional outdoor fabrics merge with our simplicity and functionality, all the while having a good laugh at the fact that we are still often misunderstood and – not to mention – underestimated.
Beauty!

We have seen the pictures and heard all the rumours. Not content on the chinese whispers floating around, we asked Patta a little about the upcoming Asics Gel Lyte III collabo and were lucky enuff to get a couple of responses. Masta Lee gave us a run down of how the shoe came about and Gee…who is part owner of the business did the interview. Here is what they had to say.
