APPLEBUM’s latest fitted ballcap, Kickz Box All Stars, doesn’t need any explaining.  Paying respect to the all the well known brands of footwear, this fitted ball cap is outfitted with a wide array of sneaker boxes screen print.  Embroidery in the form of an Olde English “AB” and spelled out logo can be seen on the front and back respectively.  Currently, Amazingstore has this fitted in limited sizes for those that are interested.

Timberland recently released their Summer 08 footwear line. The summer line consists of 3 pairs of shoes: the Rippler Chukka, Switchfoot Slip-on and Cruisemaster II boat shoe.  Of all three, I’m definitely feeling the canvas slip ons and Nike Consider-esque chukkas.  The nubuck material on the boat shoes kinda take away from the summer feel.  But regardless, all three pairs are a good look coming from Timberland.  More photos on the back.

The Cruisemaster II brings classic Timberland into a boat shoe. It features a premium full-grain leather upper for comfort, durability and abrasion resistance. A rubber outsole provides supreme traction and durability.

The Switchfoot Slip-on combines full-grain leather with organic cotton canvas; the moisture wicking fabric lining is made from recycled PET. The outsole is made from 30% recycled rubber and is not a full cupsole, making the shoe much more flexible.

The Rippler Chukka has a cool eco-story because it was made in an earth-conscious way; using 30% recycled rubber in the outsole and 100% organic canvas. The canvas is water-repellent with a non-toxic waxed finish. This deconstructed style is extremely lightweight, and the outsoles are incredibly flexible. They are shipped with two laces – tonal leather and colorful cotton – allowing versatility for the wearer.
