Big fan...









While on a hunt for some new kicks i stumbled on the Clae Ellington from Clae's Spring '10 Collection. As soon as i found the local stocklist i boogied my butt down to Livestock to get me a pair!

These fresh sneaks are a nice blend between a dope street kick and a British inspired dress shoe. Not only do they look sick, but they are redicuously comfortable.

Available in a 4 colors (Tan, White, Navy, and Black) this soft silhouette sneak is especially fresh in the perforated Black.

And if you dont know - now you know....fellas!

Stay Rad.

NOT a croc...








Inspired by West Coast Living, this up and coming sneaker line is making headway. NATIVE shoes takes classics sneaker silhouettes such as the low cut Chuck or Vans 1960 Eras, and constructs them out of the most lightweight comfortable material...think of it as a DOPE version of a Croc...except you dont look like a complete tit rocking them! Not that i am hating on Crocs, but come on...

Originating from our Home Town, Vancouver BC, Native Shoes is the perfect West Coast Summer Shoe. I tried a pair on the other day, and was super stoked! Whether you are just kickin it on the patio, going for a scrape, chillin on the beach, or wrastling a pack of wolves, Native Shoes can handle it!

UNDER TWO FLAGS












Here at Y&A, we are all about STREET MEETS NEAT - we love brands that incorporate inspirations from the classic "Gentleman" look, but with a STREET feel. When we stumbled on UNDER TWO FLAGS we fell in love!

From Artful Dodger founder and UK designer, Scott Langton, UTF incorporates a UK tailored feel while mixing US Street looks - the result is so sick...think of it as a blend between Oxford Class and Brooklyn Brass! Langton...well done lad...our top-hats are off to you!

This is the first range for UTF, and they have killed it. We are so excited to see what they have in store for us in the next few seasons. Put this brand on your radar kids...it is WAYYYY TIGHT!

Stay Rad.
