///NOOKA///

/// THE STORY ///

''Nooka is the brainchild of artist and designer, Matthew Waldman. In 1997, Matthew had a flash-back to a first grade math class while staring at a large wall clock in a London hotel and was struck by how few options there were for time display. He then sketched his ideas for potential designs on a napkin and brought them back to New York. After working on the designs, he submitted them to his legal team, and indeed, they were unique enough to patent!

The linear and graphic representation of time with NOOKA timepieces presents a more intuitive way to view time. The visual mass inceases as time passes, giving weight to an ephemeral and abstract concept - creating a universal visual language.

Rather than just style the appearance of an object, NOOKA's reconceptualization is based on analytic and artistic underpinnings that incorporate trends in fashion and science. The approach is beyond and material product - its is a concept, a method, a mindstyle.

Beyond international style, the search for a universal language is the common theme that all NOOKA products are conceptually based, whether a timepiece, or something unexpected.''

MACBETH

NEW STOCK: MACBETH

We are extremely excited to be stocking MACBETH. So far we have the Schubert Hi tops, which are made from Kevlar, so you know its gonna last for ever, and the Matthew shoe in black canvas and suede.

The Eliot shoe is part of the Vegan range, they come in black and white; rust and black, green and black and black and purple.

''In addition to Macbeth's music inspired products, we're also known for our support of the vegan community. At its inception, Macbeth took inspiration from its family of artists like Bane, Alkaline Trio, American Nightmare, H20, and Sick of it All to create modern sneakers that contained only vegan materials. Many members of these bands were strict advocates for vegan ideals, which involves eliminating the consumption and usage of animal products of any kind. In natural succession, Macbeth's first shoe, The Eliot, launched in November of 2002 as a vegan design. In 2007, Macbeth won "Best Vegan Skate Shoe" from Peta2. ''

Then for the Ladies we have the Nolan high tops in the black with stripes.
