Veja SPMA Collection
High-tops never get boring. Veja presents their Spring/Summer 2009 CMA Collection. SPMA Stands for São Paulo, Mon Amour. The high top Veja SPMA collection has been thought as an ode to São Paulo. The collection, made of ecological leather has been inspired by the electrical and improvised artistic creation of the Brazilian metropolis. Veja’s overall mission is built on 3 main principles:
1. Using ecological inputs,
2. Using fair trade cotton and latex
3. Respecting workers’ dignity
Veja has created a global chain that emphasizes solidarity and environment from the small producers in Brazil to the public. The Veja SPMA collection is a limited edition available in 13 stores in Europe, and in exclusivity in the UK at Poste London and OKI-NI.

Nike "Coraline" Dunk High
Nike Dunk High created in association with the upcoming sophomore motion-picture from LAIKA, Coraline. LAIKA is headed by none other then Phil Knight, Nike’s well-known chairman. In a project set-up by the next generation of creative talents, W+K12 (sponsored by creative agency Wieden + Kennedy), Nike’s iconic Dunk was re-produced in a DIY aesthetic relating to the animated movie Coraline. The shoe’s upper includes a number of interesting additions and props as well as special packaging. Directed by Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas) and based on a story by Neil Gaiman, the movie’s premise involves a young girl who inadvertently stumbles into an alternate albeit it better universe with a number of twists. Given the track record of all the parties involved, this latest film should not disappoint. As mentioned, Coraline hits theaters February 6th with a chance to win 1 of a 1000 pairs following the credits.
