TEES: Diamond Supply Co. x Young & Reckless Limited Edition Tee

Streetwear brands Diamond Supply Co. and Young & Reckless have teamed up for a limited edition collaboration tee. The concept behind the tee is to represent Diamond Supply Co.'s Nick Diamond's hometown of San Francisco and Young & Reckless's founder, Drama's hometown of Akron, OH, who now both reside in Los Angeles. The biker gang logo theme of the shirt represents that no matter where you are from, if you skate you are part of a international union with other skaters. Throw your flags in the air and wear them proud. Skate 2 Death.

Just in time for Mardi Gras and to celebrate the New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl win, New Balance introduces the Mardi Gras collection which features the 525 for men and 460 for women. Remaining true to the comfort and light-weight design specific to New Balance, the 525 and 460 silhouettes offer detailed design and accents especially for Mardi Gras. With a fleur de lis symbol on the tongue label and heel tab and a festive gender-specific mask image on the shoe insert, the sneakers radiate the excitement of Mardi Gras.

Both silhouettes celebrate the party in the theme colors of green, purple and gold on a black or white sneaker. Each pair showcases three beads on the shoelaces to represent the tradition of Mardi Gras throws.
