Simple blocks of colour utilised nicely to create a clean, fresh collection that will definitely enhance any wardrobe.
These are my two favourites from the four-piece collection, and can be fetched over at the Opening Ceremony website.

Another set that I’m liking for the mix of materials used. Only available in two colourways, but they’re both fairly clean designs with a nice hint of originality.
Available right now at some Japanese store (who seem to get all the best stuff!). Hope you can read the language as I’ve never been able to find an English option on the site!

The newest range from Supra launches soon. They boast a slimmer soul than the usual range, though they retain the style features of the Skytops. You’ll find them in the grey you see here, a red patent colourway and a couple of others.
I’m a fan of this waxed fleece material, and the minimalist look definitely makes them a versatile pair. Coming to good online retailers soon.

Lupe Fiasco’s side-project Japanese Cartoon have hooked up with False to develop a collaborative line of t-shirts and sweatshirts. They come with black/white/grey contrasts sketchy, that make them very versatile pieces, and similarly come with fairly simple, sketchy motifs that enhance that adaptability.
A surprisingly likeable and affordable range, click here to view images of the entire 5-piece range, as well as make your purchases!

These lovely sneakers make up Trussardi’s Autumn (Fall)/Winter 2010 collection and boast a pretty interesting patchwork style, which is made up of a mix of materials (wool, denim etc.).
Available now at the internet’s best boutique shop, Colette. They’re not exactly cheap though, so don’t click unless you’ve got a few hundred pounds/euros floating around.

MINDstyle have released an image of their latest limited edition “#1 Pound for Pound champion” Manny Pacquiao and Bloc28 Mad Mickey art toy collectibles. Full of character and life despite their monotone shades, these are pretty cool collectables and I’d imagine most people could appreciate having a set of these on display!
They’re set to be released in conjunction with his November 13th fight, and I’ll bring you more info as and when it’s given on their release.

This 5-sneaker set only has 2 pairs of each style made, 1 of which will be given to Jay-Z and obviously, they’re completely blacked out. Each style in the collection also pays homage to a different country (USA, France, China, Puerto Rico and Brazil), with the outsole filled with the respective country’s colours. The pairs not given to Hov can be fetched in a charity auction on eBay right now. Hit the click for a few detailed images.

In line with Ajay’s promise to bring you something a little bit different over the upcoming months, here is my contribution to the effort.
Posted this a few weeks ago on my Twitter (where you can cop a better look) and yesterday I got my hands on this awesome tee which pays homage to the late, great Guru of Gang Starr.
Stickupkids (here in the UK) have put together two Guru tribute tees (the other perhaps less subtle) and I recommend you go over there and grab one to help hip-hop live on.

When creating OTU, my intention was always to try and pack all of my interests into my posts, but the massive success of us as music reviewers didn’t really leave time for that. Predominantly, I wanted to incorporate some fashion-related posts, as well as the odd ‘artsy’ post like this right here. Lack of time and consquentially ‘falling out of the loop’ has contributed to never actually getting around to it, but as of today I’m going to slowly infuse OTU with a little something new.
Brooklyn artist Julia Chang has created a set of 50 glazed porcelain apples. ‘Chiang chose the apple because it is a symbol of desire and an icon of the city of New York. According to Chiang, “Most of what I do reveals the unevenness and imperfection of my hand.” “I am interested more in what are viewed as flaws rather than perfection, and in finding objects and materials that hold a story and history’. There’s really something I like about these: they are pretty pop-arty, but they’ve got a unique combination charm in their almost-paradoxical jet black glossiness along with Chiang’s desire to accentuate flaws. And they’re the sort of thing that would look great next to my PS3. I doubt you have $200 to buy, but if so…
