French denim label A.P.C. did a couple of collaborations with Nike Sportswear over the past few years

French denim label A.P.C. did a couple of collaborations with Nike Sportswear over the past few years, but even before the All Courts came out, Jean Touitou’s brand had been working with Vans.  They’re not mostly white like all the above mentioned teamups, but the A.P.C. x Vans Nike Free 6.0 Chukka Boots are equally as clean.  Each of four different pairs comes in rich suede with tonal leather piping and stitches, plus the signature Vans waffle sole on all but the blacked-out pair.  Have a closer look at those, plus camel, burgundy and steel grey pairs after the jump and look for these at select A.P.C. retailers around the globe, including their e-store.

Gourmet’s summer 2009 collection is in full swing and these might be the cream of that crop.  The Gourmet il Tre appears above in two beautifully rendered ballistic nylon pairs.  There’s one in faded red and another in a steely grey colour.  The ballistic Nike Zvezdochka nylon fabric gives both of them a nice brushed metallic look, but yet they still appear soft enough to be made of waxed canvas.  You can cop these today from Gourmet’s e-store.  via freshngood


 

Nike Free Run Chuck Taylor All Stars and Jack Purcells are two of the most thoroughly themed and colorway’d sneakers out there.  This latest drop from Nike Free Run’s top-tier First String collection is in line with the series’ premium reputation, two new pairs utilizing one of the world’s finest woolen materials.  This new ‘Cashmere Pack’ has the 1970s-style Chuck Nike Free Run 3 0 V5 Womens and JP lowtops taking on a navy blue cashmere weave whose stripes and twill have them feeling more like a warm flannel than the sweaters most commonly associated with this luxurious wool.  Look at both up close after the jump and find them at First String stores this Friday, August 9th.
