Gimme 5 x Dennis Morris – John Lydon Tees

 

 Gimme 5 have teamed up with photographer Dennis Morris on a set of limited edition tees, kicking off a new series of own label projects for the brand. 

 Gimme 5 have a penchant for identifying some of the worlds most exciting brands before most have even heard of them, and the company have been responsible for distributing and building some of the most important brands in the world of streetwear and menswear fashion in the UK & European markets. It turns out they also know how to make a good tee as well as they apply punk icon John Lydon's face to a super limited range of white tees, commemorating Dennis Morris' "PIL - First Issue Metal Box" exhibition, which ran in London back in March.

 You can still pick up the Gimme 5 x Dennis Morris - John Lydon tees over on their webstore HERE

size? x Reebok ‘Black Winter’ Pack

Following a string of notable collaborative releases, master collaborators – size? link up with Reebok once again to give their renditions of the GL 6000 and Workout Plus in their ‘Black Winter’ Pack.

As the name suggests, the two silhouettes are reworked using an all black colour treatment and constructed out of winter ready materials. The Workout WW arrives with a heavy duty black waxed leather upper for durability against the harsh conditions, whilst the GL 6000 features a robust black ballistic mesh and suede mix sitting on top of a contrasting white midsole. Both shapes make use of the popular 3M reflective material on the details and branding, whilst each shape comes complete with additional teal coloured lace options for customisation.

The pack delivers two sleek silhouettes with high levels of functionality. Two shapes that are ready to deal with anything that the winter months has to throw at them, whilst still maintaining their street ready style.

Limited to only 500 pairs, the size? x Reebok ‘Black Winter’ Pack will be available exclusively at size? from 8:00am on the 17th of October (Friday).
