FRONT Magazine : Nike Air Max 1 Black Smoke
Monday 15/08/11 - 12.22PM

Out to FRONT Magazine this week for featuring the new Nike Air Max 1 in Black Smoke for Fall 2011, a very toned down, subtle colour up of the classic sneaker silhouette. This particular version of the Nike Air Max 1 is selling through very quickly mainly due to the ease off pulling this colour off... it will pretty much go with everything.

In 1987, Tinker Hatfield designed the Air Max 1 Running Shoe. The visible airbag and lightweight engineering ensured status as the icon of the original running Shoe. Since then there have been many re-designs of the Air Max 1, the shape has more than survived the test of time and still looks as fresh as it ever did.

Volcom Winter Products start arriving.
Wednesday 10/08/11 - 10.05PM

We've been stocking Volcom for quite some time now and it often gets looked over when we're talking about the latest and most hyped brands. People often forget about Volcom's long heritage in skate, snowboarding and surfing and these days they've moved with the times and re creating some very decent cut and sow clothing along with a whole set of artist collab t-shirt prints (Volcom has been collaborating for years with artists, way before a lot of brands)

You may not have heard but Volcom has been recently bought by French company PPR who also own brands such as Puma, Gucci, Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen for $607.5 million! We're looking forward to the Volcom X Gucci collection coming soon...

Converse Shoes arrive at Urban Industry
Wednesday 10/08/11 - 09.46PM

Converse Shoes arrive at Urban Industry.

Here at Urban Industry we've carved a niche for finding great new street wear brands both from the UK and internationally, sometimes we pass by the bigger brands with classic, timeless products. With this in mind we've now taken on Converse shoes, a brand we've obviously thought about for ages but never quite got round to picking up.

We thought we'd start off with the most the most well known shoe possibly on the planet, the Converse All Star Hi boot and its low cut Converse All Star Ox. These shoes are about as staple as you can get and even though you may see a lot around the streets they still look fresh with the right pair of jeans, chinos or shorts.

We also have the Red versions which this winter season have become part of the (RED) Charity program, each pair sold adds money to the charity fronted by Bono...
