Video

—01. Produced by Ben Cohen.

Words

Directed by Grant Curatola and Louis Levy, written by the latter, and styled by Anthony Unwin, the latest short film to accompany the Louis W. for A.P.C. collection takes inspiration from Jean-Pierre Léaud's audition for Truffaut’s The 400 Blows. Succinct yet highly impactful, the film introduces Bruno Di Corcia, while showcasing the Fall-Winter '14 offering.

The V-Lite, produced for Commune by the LA-based firm Atelier de Troupe, is the perfect blend of modern design and mid-century vintage styling. Made with powder coated metal legs and a perforated brass or white shade, the materials are utilitarian and durable, while the option to use it as a table lamp or sconce adds versatility to a unique light that is suitable for almost any area of your home.

Filson PH Boot by Russell Moccasin

—01. Padded collar.

Words

I’m not used to seeing a Russell Moccasin collaboration with such a well-established American company. I normally have to spend my time digging around online in Japanese select shops to find what unique creations are being commissioned. Filson have created two versions of the versatile PH Boot with water-repellent twill sides in green and tan. They have all the hallmarks of Russell’s handmade moccasin construction and are sure to sell out fast, reaching such a wide audience.

—01. Small.
—02. Large.

Words

These Rebuild by Needles pieces bear a strong resemblance to something we might see from Comme, but that doesn't take away from the great look and interesting re-imagining of the two garments put together. While there are also some jacket styles available, these layered long coats are especially beautiful, mixing different patterns, tones and textures for a very successful outcome.

Totokaelo continues to excel online, and having produced two previous editorials this season, the third and latest is my favourite. Focusing on their fall footwear offering for women, Full Blast takes a look at some of the best shoes from Dries Van Noten, Comme des Garçons, Yohji Yamamoto and Marni.

Review: Nike Zoom Pegasus 31

—01. White/Volt/Black.

Words

I've been running exclusively in the Nike Flyknit Racer for the past year and a half. When it comes to road running, I've never found a better shoe and I still don't really expect to. However, they are extremely minimal and sometimes I feel like a more stable, cushioned ride would be nice, so I decided to try out the latest edition of the Zoom Pegasus. I thought it was one of the best versions of the shoe recently and I was pleasantly surprised. Even with the added bulk, they felt lightweight, and not overly 'soft' – something the Lunar 1 and 2 have grown to feel after running on the Racer. The silhouette looks and feels well-balanced on foot, and I felt quite quick in my stride. While I'm still a big fan of the Lunar sole, I think that the Zoom is a better option for anything over 10km.
