Nike SB “Triple Black” Zoom Stefan Janoski

Image
Probably the worlds most recognisable and popular skate shoe the Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski returns in this all black colourway. More or less a skatable boat shoe, Stefan Janoski's Nike SB remains stubbornly popular on and off the skateboard thanks to a evidently wearable shape. We have already seen insanely popular triple black editions over the previous few years from Nike's Huarache to Nike SB 's Trainerendor but Nike SB are sure to delight fans by dropping this Janoski incarnation. Triple black sneakers popularity probably comes from the fact that the colourway is both fashionable and evidently wearable. This Janoski is constructed from a black canvas upper with matching swoosh branding, piping, line and outsole. These are available in store and online now at Fat Buddha Store.

Outfit of the Week - Carhartt WIP, Converse, Patagonia, Wood Wood

Image
This week's look is layered for winter with a great colour palette of complimentary blues and greys. Classic linear silhouettes, mixed textures and block colouring give this a smart yet contemporary everyday look. First up we have used the classic button-up oxford style Raymond Shirt from Carhartt WIP in light blue. This classic style shirt has been given a modern twist with camo sleeve insert, this small bit of detailing adds an extra dimension to the otherwise paired back look. We have layered this look with one of our favourite pieces for Autumn/Winter 2015 the Tony Shirt also from Carhartt WIP . While in essence this piece is a shirt or overshirt we think it looks great worn as a jacket and the thick cotton is perfect for the cold at this time of year. The mix of textures continues through to the bottoms in which we have used the dark navy Western Cords from Carhartt WIP . We love the colour on these because the darker navy breaks up yet compliments the lighter blues o...

ASICS - "Workwear" Pack

Image
Yesterday seen the drop of ASICS's "Workwear Pack" from which we will be stocking the Gel Lyte III and Gel Lyte V . Inspired, as the name would suggest, by hardwearing workwear the range of popular silhouettes utilise a range of earthy tones which bring to mind the heritage colours of workwear brands like Carhartt and Timberland . In keeping with the aesthetic the models feature D-ring lace loops, tough hiking laces and a hammer and axe graphic screened on the footbed. The theme carries through to the construction which sees a blend of rough and raw materials such as perforated suede, embossed pebbled leather and nylon. White accents, GEL-cushioned sole units and gum rubber outsoles complete the look. Shop this pack in store and online at Fat Buddha Store now and make sure to check out our pictures below:

Store Look - Autumn/Winter 2015

Image
With the colder months around the corner we present a heavily layered textural store look with key pieces from our Autumn/Winter 2015 range. We have created three distinct looks which blend our brand’s mix of fashion, streetwear and athleticwear aesthetics. The perfect seasonal colour pallet of sleek greys and contemporary blues imbues each look. Our first look takes reference from 80’s street and sportswear imagery, reworking collegiate and preppy styling for a modern and wearable look. This look features a colour palette of muted greys, whites and blacks with lean fitting trousers mixed up with top heavy silhouettes for a contemporary layered look. For this look we have used an oversized quilted jacket from Lacoste Live  layered over the woollen Kevin Jumper and a long sleeved Carhartt base t-shirt . This blend of materials and textures keeps the look modern. The slim fitting trousers also come from Lacoste's Autumn/Winter 2015 collection and are the perfect mix of cas...
