Cape Heights may seem like an unusual collaborative partner for SOPHNET., but the Massachusetts-founded company has been churning out New England staples since the early ’90s — its factory even produces down-filled pieces for brands like Penfield, L.L. Bean, EMS, Lands’ End and Cabelas. With that in mind, the Japanese brand has tapped one of Hudson-based Cape Heights’ staples — the Brightwood — for a co-branded Fall/Winter 2016 drop. Due out this weekend, the range of parkas includes seven different colorways in all, each of which boasts details like water-repellant construction, nylon lining, a removable fur-lined hood and a bevy of pockets and toggles.
Retailing for ¥89,000 JPY (approximately $814 USD), the co-branded Brightwoods are set to hit SOPH. locations this Saturday, November 19, before dropping online Monday, November 21.
Converse has already celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Pro Leather in a big way this year, linking up with the likes of UNITED ARROWS & SONS, NEXUSVII, and nonnative for collaborative takes on the silhouette before dropping monochromatic black and white renditions of its own. Now Converse is back with its second in-house 40th anniversary drop, tapping “sport classic” hues for a vintage suede four-pack. As the name suggests, each pair comes done up in retro-inspired suede, but couples the old school look with a contemporary edge thanks to the use of Nike’s Lunarlon cushioning for the drop-in sock liner.
Finished with white accents throughout, the four vintage suede takes on the Pro Leather ’76 will hit Converse spots and converse.com come Monday, November 21 for $80 USD per pair.
