underground sneaks and clothing

from the Winston-Salem Journal with an additon by yours truly.

If you're sick of the same old sneakers, there are some underground brands you won't find at Foot Locker.

JB Classics
Running his designer sneaker operation under the moniker "The Modern Day Cobbler," JB's independent sneaker line is wearable art. These are stylish, unique, limited-edition kicks you won't see on many other feet.

Ice Cream
Superstar musician/producer Pharrell Williams, in partnership with Reebok, has his own line of sneaks called Ice Cream that you won't find at the mall - or Baskin Robbins, for that matter. The skate-influenced brand is designed by Nigo of cult Japanese label A Bathing Ape. Someday you'll be paying top eBay dollar for these.

AcQUIRED Clothing
AcQUIRED is the new line from the founders of Freshness magazine. The line is now available in select shops in New York, California and Paris, France, with more stores to come.
