Aloha Rag & Converse JP Zip


Hawaiian-based boutique Aloha Rag has collaborated with Converse to produce these limited edition JP Zips. Having opened there three years ago, Aloha chose New York as the inspiration for shoe. Matching the cosmopolitan nature of the Big Apple with an array of materials, the model features a crinkled, patent leather mid, a patterned buffalo leather outer and is lined with a soft leather interior. The model is detailed with an off white sole, an embroidered skull/hearts logo, a brass zipper and heel spike; making the shoes make-up as busy and as versatile as NYC itself. The collaborative model is now available from Aloha Rag’s online store and is limited to just 150 pairs.

Futura Laboratories is the latest brand to create a protective case for the iPhone 4. Normally returning to a familiar set of graphics, Futura has this time opted to decorate its latest product with a grid of pop-images and icons entitled “Iconography.” Whilst many will remember seeing similar works on the bicycle created for cycling legend Lance Armstrong, the more casual of fans will be less familiar with the print. Available in either all-black or black and white, the case is more technologically advanced than many of its rivals since it features a fine touch screen cover complete with anti-glare. Both versions are now available from Futura Laboratories
