Мишка Key Toppers Now Available!

This is one of the most fun accessories we’ve ever had the pleasure of crafting. From the actual molded Key Toppers down to the packaging. Each pack comes with three toppers in two different color assortments featuring the Keep Watch Eyeball, a Kill With Power Pyramid and the Death Adder Bear Head.

These toppers will fit almost every single standard key type and are molded out of a durable rubber that will take beating and keep on ticking. Plus these are super easy to clean off the pocket gunk from. Just a little soap and warm water and voila! Good as new. Get both sets and really jazz up that boring old key ring you currently have in your pocket or carabiner!

We hate to be teases to all of you who can’t make it out to Japan, but we still thought it’d be cool to share some of the goodies we cooked up for our newest shop with all of you.

Up above is a sneak peak at one of the exclusives that could be yours when our Tokyo store opens its doors on Saturday, March 6th. at an undisclosed date in the near future, sorry. As longtime fans, it was a real thrill for us to work with Bounty Hunter on a tee design. We kept it simple, with a cyco simonifying of one Bounty Hunter’s more iconic skull and cross bones logos.

The back is another combination of two favorites… our tagline of “Engineered to Destroy!” done in the style of Discharge (one of Hikaru’s favorite bands) along with Bounty Hunter’s 120% Darkside Justice catchphrase underneath. Pure evil and only for Japan!

Ever since the release of the Spring 2010 lookbook we’ve been getting call after call after call after call inquiring about the drop date in-store. Well the first delivery of Spring-1 is finally here and just in time for the weekend. We have all the the Spring-1 tees, cut & sew and accessories now available at 350 Broadway.

We’ve got all of the sick T-shirt graphics that you’ve come to expect from along with a brand new D.A.R.T. gear to keep all of our cyclist friends looking sharp this Spring.

With a splash of Spring pastel colors, the fleet of flannels and poplin button-down shirts will keep you looking your Easter best all season long.

One of my favorite pieces from this collection has to the Trailblazer quilted vest with the corduroy collar and embroidered back. And since all the colors (black, navy & olive drab) look equally awesome, it makes for a tough decision on which to get. If you ask me, I say get ‘em all!

Past season’s varsity crew sweaters flew off of the shelves way too fast, leaving a few  of our friends and fans empty handed. So this Spring we came back with 6 hot new crewnecks to feed the frenzy.

Accessorize! The collection is chocked full of some of the sickest accessories so that you can put your personal flip on any outfit.

So make your way down to 350 Broadway this weekend and be one of the first to get your hands on the first drop of the Spring collection before it hits the web. And for all of our West coast fans head on down to our new Мишка LA store opening today as well! It is located on 1547 Echo Park Ave Los Angeles, CA. Now you can get the goods from coast to coast, come one down!

We’re edging ever so close to our Los Angeles chapter’s grand opening tomorrow at noon. So what better time than right now to give you Bloglin readers a sneak peak at some of the LA exclusives we’ve had up our sleeves. First and foremost is of course the Echo Park design… C’mon? Did you really think that wasn’t going to make it onto a tee?

Hopefully you guys know by now that we’re huge fans of bootleg tourist trap tees. We’ve made exclusive ones for 350 Broadway all year long and now we’re happy to add one for Los Angeles. One of my favorite tees, ad you guys are lucky we got these out of NY before our staff here grabbed them all! Nuff Said.

Ahhhh the sports flip! Mmmm mmmm, my bread & butter (well besides chicken liver pâté of course). We had to give the team whose home is just a hop, skip and a jump from the shop a little of our Мишка treatment.

And finally on the T-shirt tip is another sports flip. We’re bringing back this oldie, but goodie with a West Coast twist. Also available in our traditional magenta and sea-foam colorway as well as Dodger blue. Go-team-go! Alright, somehow this tee never got made… I know we suck.

Look after the break for a few other surprises for LA!

Мишка Spring 2010 Lookbook by Marley Kate

Trailblazing through the city with just a pipe and a guide hearken back to those carefree spring days spent roaming through the city streets with a pack of friends and no obligations. Talking art, music and dreams over $2 eggs and endless cups of coffee at diners, sneaking into shows, flirting with bartenders and staying out ’til 4am and waking back up at 6 to go to work and school only to do it all again.

Our Spring collection fondly remembers the days of being a defiant teenager, generations notwithstanding. We drudged up the nostalgia of being a snot-nosed-stubborn-badass that has been a hallmark trait of teenagers. So we dusted off our yearbooks, our parent’s yearbooks and even our grandparent’s yearbooks to find all the inspiration we needed for the spring collection.

Pieces like the Trailblazer Quilted Vest and the Loose Nut Twill Jacket conjure fond memories of the durable and industrial clothing worn during high-school shop class; the Swarm windbreaker add a flare of form and function for those who spent their time in the school gymnasium. And if you happened to be the rebellious type that spent more time going to shows and partying than studying, there’s always a host of tees befitting of any anti-social predilections.

The Мишка 2010 spring lookbook was shot by no other than New York’s finest Marley Kate and the collection is available at Мишка stores and vendors across the globe.

That’s right, this Spring we’re really starting to round the D.A.R.T. program out into its own beast. And believe me, this is only just the beginning of D.A.R.T. branded items that you’ll be seeing in 2010. Big things in store, before you guys know it!

Head over now to John Prolly’s site to get the scoop on the collection releasing for Spring 2010. There you’ll find more images and detail on the return of the beloved (and much requested) Swarm Windbreaker, a merino cycling hoodie, and, of course, D.A.R.T T-shirts galore!

P.S. That’s right, bringin’ back some tie-dye.

This preview is going to be short and sweet and focus on just two if the six New Era styles in our Spring-1 2010 drop. First up is the ole standby, The Keep Watch New Era. First up is lizardy/alien inspired Keep Watch with a green crown and purple brim. He’s joined by a more traditional Keep Watch with a black crown and red brim featuring a very pale blue eyeball.

Some of you may remember this guy from our Holiday ‘09 Tee collection… The Fez Bear Emblem now makes it’s debut as a New Era. Available in black and a forest green with a burgundy brim. The bear’s fez cap is also flocked. Nice.

Keep checking the Bloglin as we’ll be posting a few more previews as we lead things up to our Spring 2010 lookbook and of course Spring’s debut on in-store and online.

Back again with another quick Spring 2010 preview, this time focusing on just a few of the bags and accessories for Spring 2010. Up first we have the Strummer Knapsack. Constructed of a heavy denim twill in black & navy tartan plaid, it’s low-key and striking all at the same time. For those of you who like to be on the louder side with your book bags, we got you too! The Keep Watch Knapsack features a Keep Watch eyeball pattern on a heavy cotton canvas and is a good way to make sure you always have a few pair of eyes watching your back. Finally there’s the Quicksilver Messenger Bag returns in a pillowy nylon shell with saftey orange interiors.

Judging on how quickly these things sell out you guys really like the Heatseeker Belts. And why not? They’re simple and interesting belts that focus mainly on contrasting colors and stripes. The batch for this Spring includes some of my favorites we’ve ever done (or have in the works). I love that Mighty Ducks inspired one to the right!

The Tacoma Plaid Flannel Wallet is a standard bill-fold wallet with an ID window and multiple credit card slots. I’m sure all of you astute readers can probably put two and two together and realize you’ll also be seeing these plaid patterns on some shirts this Spring.

And finally we have the Smoke Mountain Leather Belt. This is my favorite belt this season and features our own play on traditional western belts with the help of a trusty bat and some opium poppies. Available in Black and a distressed brown leather.

Remember this is just a small sampling of what we have in store for our bags and accessories for the first Spring drop! And in case you missed it (or just don’t scroll down) be sure to check the small preview of Spring 2010 tees I posted yesterday.

Even though we just got a fresh dusting of snow here in New York, that won’t daunt us from the fact that our Spring 2010 collection  is almost here… and with that said, I’ve got some Spring 2010 tee previews for all you good folks! I truly hope the reference for our Unknown Pleasures Mop (pictured above) will need no introduction. It’s one of my favorite Bear Mop graphics in I don’t even know how long.

Next up is the 8-Bit Adder’s evil cousin, Spectre of Doom! We’re unabashed 8 & 16-bit video game nerds ’round these parts, so of course we made another 8-bit inspired graphic. While the 8-Bit Adder was more on that old NES steez, Spectre of Doom is totally a Sega Master System/Mega Drive classic.

Another of my favorite Spring graphics is Disbelieve. Anyone who spent anytime shopping for tees at skate shops in the 90s should receive an instant abduction back to the workshop when they see this graphic. Luciferians and aliens unite and “Kill With Power!”
