Showroom Shine | Level 4 Collective

Upon entering Level 4 Collective Showroom, you’ll instantly feel...comfortable. Maybe its the lack of a receptionist that’ll set your mind at ease (we're sure you hate those pretentious "bouncers" peeking their beady little eyes over a custom desk built two times the necessary height) or the modest showroom size, or the exposed brick, or the comfortable couch inviting us to relax or...well, you get the point. Why we really think you’ll feel so warm and fuzzy isn't the showroom itself, it’s actually the people working there. Marc D'Amelio, the showrooms owner, and Nimonica, Level 4's head sales person, have it ...

Ace Hotel x Arkitip x Generic Surplus Shoe & Tote Set

Posted by Greg Weinstein | Filed under Hotel, News, Sneakers, Travel

ace-hotel-generic-surplus-shoe-tote-3

Arkitip got together with Generic Surplus to create a collaborative shoe/tote bag set for the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs. Both the sneakers and tote bag are made out of a breathable Cotton mesh material which is perfect for the usual weather in Palm Springs.

The Ace Hotel Palm Springs Shoe and Tote was designed and developed from the collaborative process between Arkitip, the Ace Hotel and Generic Surplus. In creating a shoe for the Ace Hotel we sought to capture the essence of Palm Springs and the eclectic style of the hotel grounds. We developed a new mesh material that’s breathable for the desert heat, quick drying and non slip for the pool side servers. Considering the Palm Springs environment and the design elements of the hotel, the creation of this new mesh material lends itself perfect to manage water and the desert heat.

More info and detailed images on the flipside.

Hype Beast

The shoes retail for $85 USD. The collaboration will be available July 1st, 2009 but are now available for pre-order through Arkitip.com.
