The new collection for Spring/Summer from New York brand Only NY has just dropped at Urban Industry and includes a tasty selection of T-shirts, sweatshirts, 5 panel caps and snap backs.

Urban Industry is one of the only places in the UK where you'll find this relatively small US brand and we have an extensive selection of Only NY product to keep you covered for the summer ahead.

Only NY came together in 2006, using their experience as graffiti writers to build a clean-cut, straight to the point collection with a focus on graphic prints. The brand pride themselves on a classic, understated look that stands the test of time, and design their product with a simple mix of various blues, reds, blacks, grays and greens making the tees, sweats and hats the perfect items to mix and match with any outfit.

The Only NY Logo 5 Panel Caps are similar to those worn by the many fixed gear cyclists on the New York streets and feature a simple design with a lot of colour options. The Logo Snap Back Caps have a strong vintage feel about them, made from poly/cotton twill and japanese corduroy and using simple branding. This vintage feel is continued in the Sports Logo T-shirts and Hoodies, the Hudson River T-shirts and The Sportsman T-shirts.

Check out the full Only NY collection now and be one of the first to rock an item from this up and coming US brand, destined to be the next big thing in street wear.

Well here it is, the covers are off. The Nike Air Max 90 Infra Red is back again.

Since we placed our order back in February we knew this was going to be the Nike release of the season, maybe even the year. The Nike AM90 InfraRed is a special shoe to Nike Collectors with it being one of the most sought after colour ways and silhouettes.

Infrared is a special Nike Colour way with a lot of collectors with its long use in various Air Jordan boots including of course, the original colour way of the Air Jordan 6.

Marking the 20th Aniversary of the Air Max 90 silhouette, Nike couldn't have picked a better representation of the shoe.

We've given the heads up to a few of the Nike Heads that shop in the store and most, if not all, where champing at the bit to put money down 3 months ago!

Needless to say, the wait isn't too long from now. Nike have advised us of delivery date around the 20th June 2010, so make a note in your diarys for plus/minus that date. We'll of course be previewing the shoe on the site closer to the time.

Brand new from Supra comes the sleek new Red Carpet Series, featuring the best loved and most popular Supra models with a black satin TUF exterior and a hidden surprise on the sole.

We have the Vaider and Skytop models in store, as seen on the feet of the likes of Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne, Pete Wentz and P Diddy himself. Celebs are often spotted busting some fresh Skytops or Vaiders on the red carpet, so the Red Carpet Series is here to make sure everyone has the perfect accompanying footwear for any award ceremony, movie premier or fashion show.

The series utilises Supra's TUF exterior, this time in a premium black satin finish. To complete the look, the shoes both come with red soles, so you can bring the red carpet with you wherever you go. If you can't make it to any premieres soon, fear not, both models come with vulcanised rubber soles, cushioned SupraFoam® midsoles and padded ankle support, meaning they're also skate-worthy. Check them out now and bring the red carpet to a street near you.

Our second drop of HUF clothing for spring has just arrived and as ever it includes some very impressive pieces. This time around, two shirts, a zip hoody and the mountain parka style Cruizer Jacket come packed full of details and as ever, provide the premium quality that HUF is known for.

HUF first opened it's doors on the streets of San Francisco back in 2002, under the watchful eye of owner Keith Hufnagel. It was his aim to create a haven for the bet brands in footwear, street wear and skateboarding, and soon enough HUF became the go to place for hard to come by goods in the SF area. HUF has since grown into 3 shops and a clothing brand of it's own, inspired by the lifestyle of Keith himself, a professional skateboarder who continues to travel the world and live his passion.

The Miner Chambray shirt is a smart looking, double pocket, long-sleeve shirt with contrast white stictching and minimal HUF branding. This Chambray cotton shirt is perfect for smartening things up a little. For the more casual look try the Double Check shirt in all-over blue plaid. Ideal for wearing on it's own by day or thrown over a T-shirt for the cooler nights.

The HUF Classic Zip Hoody comes in a royal blue marl colourway with HUF branding across the chest. This heavyweight hoody with custom zipper pulls and woven patch detailing is again perfect for the afternoons when it's too warm for a jacket, but just not hot enough to be out in a T-shirt alone. For the colder evenings, the HUF Classic Hooded Cruizer Jacket is all you need, plus it's waterproof and has a full zip and storm flap, making it the perfect parka for the festival season ahead.

All four HUF items are available now along with a selection of 5 Panel hats, snap backs and T-shirts at Urban Industry.

4 tasty new models from Nike 6.0 have just made their way into the Urban Industry Store. Nike 6.0 is the Nike brand's division of footwear and apparel targeted at those involved in extreme sports, specifically skate, surf, snowboarding, BMX, moto, wake, and more. The low profile, tough exterior and cushioned sole of the Air Mogan, Zoom Oncore, Zoom Oncore 2 and Melee make them perfect for skateboarding and BMX, and just what you'll need as the weather improves.

The Air Mogan has an encapsulated air bag sole to cushion hard landings and features a leather and suede upper for extra durability. It's specifically crafted to provide support and stablise your feet through tricks, making it the ideal skateboarding shoe. The Zoom Oncore and Zoom Oncore 2 feature some really special Nike 6.0 technology. The Phylon midsole gives the Zoom Oncore sole increased strength and reduced weight, and the sole's tread is specifically designed and tested to improve grip and handling whilst still taking relentless abuse. The Melee is a more slick and simple model, but still provides all the durability and protection that Nike 6.0 is known for.

All 4 Nike 6.0 models are available now at Urban Industry. Try them out this summer and watch your tricks improve at your feet.

We've just received a massive drop of new watches from Nixon in a selection of bright colours, just in time for Spring. The drop is made up of 3 models, including a re-stock of the best-selling Rubber Player and the addition of the limited new orange model. Nixon have been making watches for years now, but their quality and versatility keeps them on top of the pack.

The new Nixon models are the perfect companion for Spring and the Summer months to follow, whether you're a surfer, skater or just want the ideal timepiece to complete your summer outfit. The Time Teller P, Newton and Rubber Player are lightweight watches but durable enough to withstand some harsh treatment. The Time Teller P is the more classic, analog watch, whilst the Rubber player presents a more modern approach with a slimmer silhouette and a simple design. And yes, that is a real diamond on the face, check inside inscription for proof! The Newton is the more futuristic watch, with it's spherical mechanism reminiscent of the solar system, which might take a bit of getting used to.

All of these colours and more are in stock now along with re-stocks of the best-selling Nixon models from the Autumn/Winter range. Pick one up and start your summer today.
