Nicky Diamonds hit us up with a full look into his Fall 2009 collection. The extensive new season features many classic logo tees, as well as collaborative efforts with fan favorites The Hundreds and Fly Society. Other items to look out for are Un-Polo cardigans, Mined denim, belts, wallets, and a wide array of headwear. We particularly like the Diamond shaped snap detail on the snap back caps. Available this Fall at Diamond Supply Co. retailers worldwide.

A couple of new Nike SB Quickstrike releases hit the shelves this week. First up is a Dunk Low Premium in perforated Varsity Blue leather with complementary colored Pink Ice swoosh and sole. Secondly, is the “Swoosh Life” blazer in white with Hot Red highlights. Two solid picks if you’re looking into a new pair of Nike skate shoes for summer. Now in available at Dave’s Quality Meat

The Hundreds is proud to present, a special collaboration with two of Amsterdam’s heaviest of hitters, Ben G and Freshcotton.
Ben G is a skateboard boutique in Amsterdam that Benny Komala opened in June, 2005. Because Benny grew up in the skate scene, he was able to recognize the niche market of older skaters that wasn’t being addressed. With the majority of skate shops filling their racks with brands focusing on younger skaters, Ben G has broken the mold by carrying lines geared toward those skateboarders with a more mature, discerning taste. Ben G was the first store to carry The Hundreds and has remained a steadfast supporter since then.
Freshcotton is the number one street/skate online retailer in the Netherlands. In the beginning they only offered their customers hard-to-find tees, but now, eight years later, they sell both men and women’s clothing, music, books, shoes and accessories to fit every need.
The collaboration comes in the form of a hat and a t-shirt. The icon on the front of the cap is derived from Amsterdam’s coat-of-arms. With black and red being traditional the traditional Amsterdam colorway, this was the obvious choice for the hat. The green underside of the bill is a both a play on Amsterdam’s “greens,” offerings (Heineken and marijuana) and it is the classic snapback color. The three Xs on the side are taken directly from the three Saint Andrew’s Crosses from Amsterdam’s coat of arms, but they’re also interpreted by many as the other XXX for which Amsterdam is known.
The tee plays upon the XXX as well. Those who’ve visited Amsterdam recall the red-brown bollards that separate from street. Those bollards, or posts, are emblazoned with the three Saint Andrew’s Crosses as well and are known as, “Amsterdammertje.” Amsterdammertje translates literally to, “little one from Amsterdam.”

Uffie from Ed Banger Records worked with So_Me and Japanese brand Revolver on a backpack. The backpack comes in two colorways and features a crazy all-over design by So_Me, just like we are used to see from the artist and the Parisian crew. The backpack is now available at colette.

For Fall 2009 Benny Gold is introducing new 5-panel camp caps into his collection. The caps come in black and red custom printed fabric with gold eyelet details and tags. A few matching accessories will also be released, but more on that later.

The Nike Air Toki Mid has been well received so far. The casual sneaker comes here in a new black suede upper with lime green accents, making for an overall good balance. We can definitely see this silhouette becoming a strong one in the Nike collection. This particular colorway will be released in the near future, but release dates have not been announced yet. For now you can get one pair only from Osneaker.
