Nooooyce. Something I/we/some of you have been highly anticipating since the first time we got a pair of parachutes on our feet. Pics are poppin' up from your friendly neighborhood Alife dealer of their Fall '09 offering of footwear flavour. Seasonally appropriate, durable premium leathers on classic silhouettes, a nice slick toned down fall line... an interesting contrast from a wild spring and summer of exciting neon mids and outrageous canvas lows. A few of the illest pieces (In a humble 'Lifers opinon) are pictured below.

These and more of the Fall Alife tings can be found next to some other must-cop items (that may or may not match perfectly with your brand new Alife's) at Canada's finest retailers... Here in Ontario you need to check Livestock (Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary), Norml (Ottawa), Echelon (London), Boredem (Waterdown), Rockit (Kingston), Legit Trix (North Bay), SoHo (Waterloo) and LileoLileo (Toronto)... they've got the goods. Sick pair of patent with embossed leather Everybody Hi's... on some reptilian ish.
Gimme two perr, I need two perr...
Classic Shell Toe, black leather, grey highlight, neon sole... geeet it.
Clean it up some with the butters leather Chuck Shepperd.
Just a few hits from a line full of them, thanks to High Snobiety, I yoinked these pics from them after they apparently yoinked them, so also thanks to whoever took those pics.

after a brief cold spell, Spring is where it should be with sun and +15 Celsius weather. So it's a great time to grab some new canvas shoes. These Alife's have a unique speckled pattern look and probably could be your best friend if you happen to be a wine spiller.

When was the last time you picked up a men's magazine such as Playboy? Considering the internet is Vegas to magazine's Disney, I'm betting it's been a while. So maybe it's time to check out the spread that features the latest lifestyle sneakers. Including, the Johnson Lo Suede from The Hundreds & Everybody Hi from Alife on ladies in lingerie. Considering the mainstream approach Playboy usually takes, these kicks are definitely bring a sharper edge to the bunnies. FYI, the mag got involved with local Chi-town boutique Leaders 1354.

Alife stays teaming with highly creative individuals.  Beyond the artists and brands they've collaborated with over the last decade, their "Alife Sessions" have brought through our favorites to throw down at some unforgettable events.  Bun B, Q-Tip, John Mayer & Just Blaze are just a few that have jammed live in the Alife environment. We're loving this new Alife cosigned video from Rob Roy for his new joint "Fur In My Cap".  It's dope to see people pushing the creative envelope and giving videos that extra flavour to keep it captivating.  Repping FLA, Rob Roy is a new name to us, but definitely on the rise as we see him connect politic with raps new breed.

Last week, in our endless endeavours to slang soft goods across the province, we stopped into Echelon, one of our favorite shops in the Southern O. They happened to be hosting a dope little get together featuring The Moustache Men.The collective of Montreal's own New Money, F.U.N.K., and Classi Assi, who are taking the party nationwide, hititng cities big and small with support from WRG, RVCA and Frank151. Check YourSpace to see when they're coming to a drinking hole near you.
And if you are west of the greenbelt looking for that freshness fix, Roll through London's Echelon and see what's hot on Richmond St. They're holding brand new Spring goods from some of our favorites i.e. The Hundreds, Freshjive, Alife, Keep and LRG... peep some of the highlights below, and make sure you pay them a visit when you're in the hood.

Also a phat shout out goes to the fellas from Red Bull who came through with the ass-kickinest DJ mobile in town, Booyah.

There are some brands we're going to be paying more attention to this year and Alife is going to be one of them. Check out co-owner Mike(who was possibly split from birth w/ Bishop Brigante) breaks down the new programs. Including the varied pieces from waterproof chukkas to sneakers and the crazy detail whether it be the intense colorways, treatments or patents. Take in the video below from Agenda Tradeshow in San Diego(which in german translates to a whales vagina).
