"What you can expect for Fall / Winter is a more focused line; real easy, simple styles you can wear out to the club, to the bar, and even the park. This season we used a lot grey, black, white and red with really clean graphics and great concepts" says Marek Grubel founder of TITS.


Some of the key pieces this season include Flawless, Cakes, Wifey's World, and the Best Things in Life are Free. As for future projects, look out for the highly anticipated Holiday release scheduled to launch mid October with 10 new designs along with an upcoming collaboration with one of the most popular adult film stars of all time….shhhh?

"This season we intend to show people we can expand our offerings and give our fans more options to wear TITS not just on the streets but in a more upscale setting as well. Typically you can't wear just a t-shirt to the club so now that we've introduced neckties to the collection there's no excuse not to wear TITS for a night out on the town," says Grubel.

As usual, Nike likes to pick a theme and run with it for at least 2 to 3 colorways and styles. Probably because it's too hard to decide which is best so they put as many out as they can. Here is another installation of the Dunk Hi Splatter in a back and red colorway. I'm a sucker for colored mid-soles apposed to just black or white, which is probably why I'll end up getting these.

Nike 6.0 teams up with Jimbo Phillips, a west coast surf & skate artist who leaves a distinct after taste in your mouth, a mix of salt water, fish tacos, and LSD. If you see one of Jimbo's arts you will know the next time you see another, due to his unique way of making his illustrations have motion, a 'wave-like' property. This might have something to do with him living in Santa-Cruz, AKA "Surf City" and the birth place of O'Neill. We are expected to see hand-painted pairs to drop on the 28th of June. So if you are a fan of Jimbo or just a humble surfer go out and check these kicks out.
