Agenda : Antony Crook / The Land at Nepenthes.

Photographer and good pal Antony Crook, (The Rig Out, the last Hill-Side lookbook and video) hangs a series of photos at the Nepenthes store. Opening reception Thursday the 28th, 7-9p. Also, some guy named Mark will be trying to sell shoes upstairs.

Hankering For : A Crepe (Sole).

TRÈS BIEN SHOP serves up crepe just in time for Spring. Soles that is. Whether paired with suede or chromexcel, they've got some great make-ups in store presently. Quoddy, Yuketen, Our Legacy and some terrific looking exclusives with man of the moment, Mr. McNairy. Below, my pick of the litter. Click over to TBS for a gander at the rest.

Head to Toe : Early Spring.

Into Right Now: Mark McNairy New Amsterdam, SS11.

Woolrich's man on deck, Mark McNairy continues to turn the classics out on their ear. Shown at Capsule in Paris is his New Amsterdam collection for Spring '11. And as if he hadn't mastered the red brick sole mash up game already, he's now introducing some bold color into the fold, both soles and uppers. Let's hope that once he takes the reins over at Woolrich, he continues this ever evolving experimentation. It's easy to perhaps make the connection why he was an stand out for his upcoming gig. His strong suit has always been a smart and sly reinterpretation of the classics. I, along with just about everyone else out there, am looking very much forward to seeing what he makes of his tenure at WWM. Bonne chance, Mark.

Wear&Tear: Start w/ Typewriters + Secret Forts.

Jeremy, the man behind SWT, has a good thing going. I can appreciate a dude who doesn't take all of this so seriously. Maybe that's why, when he asked if I would take part in Wear & Tear, I was all, "fo sho". I chose to chronicle the W&T of my ACL+McNairy longwings. Click over there now to read about it.
