One of the more interesting collaborations of 2012 comes in the form of a cheeseburger-inspired sneaker design from celebrated photographer, Mark “The Cobra Snake” Hunter, Parisian boutique colette and Vans Vault. Utilizing the iconic Era, the LA-native curated a theme all too familiar with American culture, fast food. Clearly mocking a well-known burger outlet, the entire theme of the shoe is produced with a playful approach, something that doesn’t come as too much of a surprise. An official launch is set for March 1, 2012, exclusively through colette. Stay tuned for further details in the coming days.

Here at Hypebeast we pride ourselves on the extended family we’ve built spanning across a multitude of intriguing industries. However, when we feature an individual or brand in an Hypebeast series, its not because of our intertwined connection, but because we absolutely respect their work and believe you may too. Case in point, Lloyd Lo, the Senior Sales Representative of TAKE5 Jeans. A vintage enthusiast and connoisseur of denim, Lo was featured one year ago this month in our Streetsnaps series sporting an impressive Buzz Rickson jacket. Spilling the contents of his pockets for Hypebeast Essentials, we find a Toys McCoy wallet he had with him last year, a pair of Katoke Cyobei T301 glasses, A.P.C. denim pouch, Casio watch and Revue 700 EL. A modest collection indeed, this will probably not be the last time you see Lloyd Lo grace our pages.

Amidst the events at the recent 2012 AGENDA Long Beach trade show, HBTV was able to catch up with a range of designers, artists and brand builders that were in attendance. Taking a decidedly different interview approach, we focused in on broad range of topics firing off open-ended subjects to each interviewee and seeing what first came to mind.

Recently featured completing his first ever German exhibition and a number of collaborative murals around the world, California-bred graffiti artist, Jason Revok, has been on a creative high as of late with mentions of being one of the today’s best in the revered art. HBTV had the chance to chop it up with the artist and shoot across a few subjects at him to get some insight. Topics range from spray paint, Twitter and He-Man, effectively grabbing the artist’s often audacious attitude on camera.

Nike has always been at the forefront of cutting edge philosophies in the world of design, execution and marketing. One of the most innovative in recent memory was the establishing of Nike Digital Sport in 2010, whose aim was to develop devices and technologies that allowed users to track their personal statistics in any sport in which they participated. But Digital Sport is not just about creating must-have sports gadgets. Getting so close to its consumers’ data holds exceptional promise for one of the world’s greatest marketers: It means it can follow them, build an online community for them and forge a tighter relationship with them than ever before. “Gone is the reliance on top-down campaigns celebrating a single hit — whether a star like Tiger Woods, a signature shoe like the Air Force 1, or send-ups like Bo Jackson’s ‘Bo Knows’ commercials from the late ’80s that sold the entire brand in one fell Swoosh. In their place is a whole new repertoire of interactive elements that let Nike communicate directly with its consumers.” For those interested in Nike’s marketing philosophies, head over to Fortune to read the fascinating article in its entirety.

Hypebeast Eats… Açaí Bowls By Tiffany Tanaka of
Fresh Cafe

Brazil has exported some amazing things over the last several decades. The army-less nation will soon be shipping tankers of oil around the globe by the time it hosts the 2016 Olympic Games. But for most of us, the best stuff has been a bit less official, like glitter-covered shaking butts, Giselle, the slow-mo fight scene in Only the Strong, and that psychotic child drug dealer from City of God.

Açaí bowls, essentially smoothies made from fruit of the South American açaí palm with attractive layers of fruit, are here to stay. This is the lunch of choice for folks looking for an excuse to eat something ice-cream-ish for breakfast or lunch. The best place to enjoy this healthy yet delectable delight is Fresh Cafe in Honolulu, Hawaii. Run by the always chippy Tiffany Tanaka, Fresh Cafe is a champion for local business and an gathering place for creatives in music, art, and cuisine. The cafe is integrally connected to Loft in Space, which is located in the back warehouse and has exhibited the likes of KRINK, Patrick Martinez and is also home to the upcoming POW WOW Hawai’i 2012 which takes place with live paintings between February 14 – 17 and culminates with an opening night on February 18.
