The seventh installment of Curated by Arkitip pays homage to the early days of modern skate and surf culture with original artistry by C.R. Steyck III. As a multimedia artist acknowledged as a major influence within the genres of graffiti and street art, Stecyk’s early work on boards he painted for members of the legendary Z-Boys helped to establish the iconic graphic styles of both surfing and skateboarding.

The 15” C.R. Steyck III Sleeve and iPhone 3GS Snap Cases for Curated by Arkitip will be available on August 17.

Stussy Deluxe has partnered with Palladium for a special A/W 2010 footwear collaboration. The Pampa Mid, a version of Palladium’s popular Pampa boot, has been revised and reduced by an inch in height to create a casual mid-boot. The Pampa-Mid mixes the classic 60 year heritage of Palladium with the legendary laid-back aesthetic of California-based Stussy. While Stussy Deluxe and Palladium hail from opposite shores, both brands share a strong foundation in classic sportswear, military inspiration and are deeply respected for their core competencies and heritage. “With collaborations you’re really looking for expertise and a point of view that’s different from yours, in order to create something new,” says Barney Waters, VP of Marketing for Palladium. “Palladium has been making the Pampa boot for over 60 years, and we knew that Stussy would do something that we wouldn’t have thought of ourselves.” Stussy’s version of the Pampa includes waxed canvas on the upper and premium grade suede to the eyelet stay, counter and the tongue. Palladium’s circle logo is on the medial side in embossed suede. Other new features include a new heel loop, two sets of laces, leather covered PU sock liner and full leather lining. Available in three color ways: Black, Silver Mink, and Chili Pepper, the Stussy Deluxe X Palladium Pampa Mid retails for $110 and will be available September 18, 2010 at Stussy Chapter stores, specialty retailers and online at www.stussy.com.
