Ronnie Fieg Discusses Kith’s East Coast Project
Hypebeast Interview –
Ronnie Fieg is a native New Yorker, but calls Miami Beach his ‘second home’. As the creative force and founder behind Kith NYC, Fieg sought to combine his passion of sports, streetwear, and ultimately, two cities. Cue the “East Coast Project,” the latest endeavor from Kith that collaborates with select brands — Play Cloths, Herschel, Just Don, and Tina Catherine, to name a few — to celebrate the heritage of both Miami and New York. Hypebeast sat down with Fieg to elaborate on his thought process behind the project, which admittedly, reveals much to admire. From favorite sports teams to the scheduling of the release, no influence for the East Coast Project goes untouched. Enjoy the video above. Check the collection now over at Kith NYC.

A History of Daft Punk’s Visual Identity
Highsnobiety –
With the release of Daft Punk’s new album Random Access Memories just around the corner. Highsnobiety thought it’s time for a quick visual history showcasing the development of the duo’s iconic identity. Starting in 2001, with their second studio album Discovery, Daft Punk transitioned from wearing novelty Halloween masks to the iconic robot helmets we all know today. From that point on, the duo have gone through as many visual changes as they have albums. Though Guy-Manuel and Thomas’s overall vibe has stayed constant, the helmets are tweaked and costumes grow more stylish with each passing release. Case in point: today they are decked out in custom Saint Laurent Paris clothing designed by Hedi Slimane.

The Brooklyn Circus: Spring Summer Cap Series
“Star Spangled Banner: Spring Summer cap series: With the opening of The POP SHOP being such a success, this spring leading into the summer we decided to have fun in certain areas that we previously could not explore with the BKc. As we expand and explore the sportier side of things and separate The Brooklyn Circus from the BKc, our timing in design exploration couldn’t have been better. The response to the POP SHOP based on our relationship with sneaker company PF FLYERS to expanding our sportswear offering and now our new series of Spring Summer caps has been TREMENDOUS! With such great response we released our first series of Sportswear, fashion inspired caps. The Star Spangled Banner cap is part of the greatness to come.”

Over the weekend of May 3rd – 5th, thousands of skaters, rock fans and spectators flocked to the small town of Varazze on the Ligurian coast for a taste of the Californian lifestyle, as the Vans Off The Wall Spring Classic celebrated its 5th year anniversary.

With the cities of Milan, Genoa and Nice all nearby, skaters, press and visitors flew in from all over the Europe to be greeted by the Fiat Freestyle Team cars, who brought them right to the beach in time for a warm up on the ramp before the accolade of ‘Best Miniramp Trick’ was dealt out. With some great riding going down already, it was a hotly contested event. One of the first arrivals, Denmark’s Dannie Carlsen took to the ramp quickly, and it paid off as his half cab blunt 360 kickflip out saw him walk away with a 250EUR cheque. As newly crowned Dutch Champ, Daan Vanderlinden’s frontside nosegrind down the spine feature was another winner, as was Chris Gregson’s frontside flip disaster backside revert and a frontside noseblunt backside revert from Mason Merlino saw all four win cash prizes.
