Daily Video: Röyksopp “The Girl and the Robot” feat. Robyn (2009)
Tags: Daily Video, music, roki, video
Pronounced: ['ɾœʏkˌsop:]. For the first time, Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge appear in their own video. Actually first time in any video. They only make a brief cameo playing robots. The better music blogs are calling this “probably the most awaited clip right now”. So press play, and see what all the fuss is about.
Ludwig ‘09 Summer

Today we bring you the Summer collection from Ludwig. In under one short year, they have expanded far beyond a simple t-shirt brand to include a full cut-and-sew line. Add to that a strong concept, great materials, and well-executed pieces, and you have a brand that sets themselves apart from the mediocrity that’s so commonplace in streetwear today.
Their new collection is entitled Eroica (“heroic” in Italian) – in reference to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, which pays homage to Napoleon’s heroic conquests – and consists of everything from tees to caps, shorts to shirts and more. Naturally, Alex imagery is once again present, and overall, expect classic, great everyday items for those hot Summer days. The collection will be available through their website next week sometime, and should be arriving at retailers in about two weeks.

Tags: Akomplice, Leaders 1354

Staying afloat in these tough economic times is no easy task. Leaders and Akomplice have joined forces to create the Survival of the Fittest pack to help make things a bit easier. It consists of a tee, a co-branded Swiss Army knife, an individually numbered certificate, and a lemon (so you can make that proverbial lemonade). It all comes in a nice, rope-bound box. The pack is limited to only 30, and will release tomorrow at Leaders in Chicago.

Nike Air Max 1 Premium Safari ‘09 July Quickstrike
Tags: Air Max 1, Nike, sneakers

Following the Air Max 1 White/Red/Grey Quickstrike we showed you on Tuesday, it seems Nike is getting set to release more Air Max 1 heat. This time, they follow up on last year’s Air Max 1 Safari from the Greatest Hits pack. This one features a similar colourway, but has less of the Safari print on the upper, but will no doubt get just as much a warm welcome from fans and collectors alike. They are scheduled to release in July.

Initially seen a few weeks back, it turns out this SB Dunk Hi was inspired by Wet Floor signs, and is part of the Custodian Pack. This Dunk however appears to have a shorter tongue than the ones seen earlier. The pack also consists of two other sneakers, one inspired by window cleaner, the other by a vacuum cleaner.

Hands for six minutes straight, but for some reason I wasn’t bored one second. Naturally, it’s the work of Pfadfinderei, laced to one of this year’s best albums.
Staying with the hand theme and Moderat, for those that missed it, check out the Rusty Nails video in HD after the jump.
