Image
This week's look is a smarter take on streetwear with in-store favourites from ASICS , Carhartt WIP , Edwin , Filson and Happy Socks . Let's start this week's look by talking about those kicks from ASICS ; the freshly dropped Gel-Respector from their "Japanese Garden" pack. The venerated silhouette is outfitted with plush suede and a colourway we loved so much we based an entire outfit around it. Running with the pink we have added the Terry Tee from Edwin which is made from a great thick terry cloth, perfect for spring. For bottoms we have gone for Carhartt WIP 's Skill Pant which is 5 pocket style with a regular fit for a more contemporary look, shown here in complimentary grey. We have gone for a streetwear classic and added a coach jacket to the look. The coach jacket selected is from Edwin   and is understated with only subtle branding to the chest keeping the look fresh and modern. As we're going for a more dressed take on streetw...

2017... the year of the Air Force 1?

Image
Is the Air Force 1 this years classic? There is a reason why some silhouettes stand the test of time while others fade into obscurity. Some models become such classics that they transcend fads and fashion to form a class of their own. Models like Converse's Chuck Taylor All-Star and Adidas's Stan Smith have forgone their roots in basketball and tennis respectively to become the go to trainers for sneakerheads and the fashionable alike. But we think it's about time another shoe was added to the list of go-to classics, that model being one of the greatest basketball sneakers of the '80s and lifestyle sneakers of the '00s, the Air Force 1. Already massively popular thanks to it being spotted on a myriad of athletes and celebrities and being the focus of collabs with some of the industry big hitters like Supreme, COMME des GARÇONS , VLONE and ACRONYM , it can already lay claim to a high status. Originally released back in 1982 we have one man to thank for it...

Going Out - Cooking With Palms Trax Pt.1 (All Night Long)

Image
Tonight La Cheetah present Cooking With Palms Trax Pt. 1 (All Night Long). Over the last 4 years there have been few DJs or producers out there who've impressed us as much as Palms Trax. With that in mind, you'll understand how excited we are to be able to announce that he'll be taking up residency in La Cheetah this year! He'll be curating 4 shows in the club and he's invited some of his favourite acts and good friends to join him throughout 2017. It's been a good while since he last played Glasgow so Part 1 is a 4 hour solo mission which will set the tone perfectly! 80 tickets will be available on the door so get down fast.

Adidas 350 - Mesa

Image
Adidas have just dropped the latest 350 from their SPEZIAL series in this great Mesa colourway. We love this silhouette as it's neither too narrow nor to oversized with a slightly flatter tread for a more classic footwear shape. The colourway may be Autumnal but these look great for the Spring months with premium mesa brown suede the full length of the upper accentuated with cargo brown leather heel tab. Further features include perforated detailing around the toe box, tonal mesa suede signature three stripe and gold trefoil detailing at the tongue, heel and side panel. Finishing the look is a crisp white midsole which extends through the outsole. If you like these as much as we do they can be purchased in-store and online at Fat Buddha Store while stocks last or alternatively check out the pictures below:

Outfit of the Week - Carhartt WIP, Edwin, Clarks, Timex

Image
This week's outfit grid is full of recognisably classic streetwear silhouettes with military inspired details in a colour palette of earthy greens, browns and blacks. Basing the look is an absolute classic shape, the bomber jacket, with this one coming from Carhartt WIP . Almost everybody looks good in a bomber jacket and at least one should constitute part of your wardrobe. This one, called the Adams Jacket , is a familiar bomber shape but is mixed up with some military inspired detailing like the labels on the sleeve and near the bottom band, zips and rib-knit collar, hem and cuffs. What really sets this apart is the colour, Dollar Green, a new colour from Carhartt that has proved the most popular of their Spring/Summer 2017 collection. We feel that green is an underrated gem of a colour it's more exciting than black and navy while not as overpowering as other colours. Plus it goes with almost everything! We have paired the jacket with another piece from Carhar...

Saucony Grid 8000 - Salmon/Charcoal

Image
We're loving this new colourway from Saucony fresh for Spring 2017. Utilising their durable Grid 8000 silhouette and outfitting with premium materials and a dual tone Salmon/Charcoal colourway they have created a firm favourite for the forthcoming milder months. Constructed with a plush nubuck leather upper it features the aforementioned salmon colour around the toe box, mud guard and heel with the charcoal shade found at the upper, tongue and complimentary laces. Final flourishes include perforated detailing to the toe box, a crisp white midsole and always popular gum outsole. Shop in store and online now at Fat Buddha Store.

Carhartt WIP - Alone at last

Image
To showcase the Carhartt WIP SS17 collection, photographer Colin Sussingham and creative director Hayden Taatjes jaunted to Joshua Tree, CA, known for its oddities and beauty. In contrasting the colours and textures of the garments with those of the natural landscape came a certain uniformity. Inspired by Carhartt's earlier decades, the timeless character of the collection's pieces added to the dated style of the shoot. Produced by LAND-SEE (@land_see), photographed by Colin Sussingham (@colinsuss), styled by Hayden Taatjes (@shady_bagel) and modeled by Justine Pierre (@frankie_bleeker) and Tucker Matthews.
