Hemp is one of the most sustainable plants around. It’s a weed that grows faster than most and is incrediblly diverse in use – from paper, to textiles, and beyond. Koyuk delivers their variant of the hemp shoe. The two lace upper is planted onto their version of a deck shoe last. It comes in a wide array of colors and should break it nicely with your walking habits. (zozo)

Being as we love footie so much, the idea of leaping ahead to 2014 with the draw for the 2010 World Cup still in the balance does not seem overly ridiculous. Brazil play host, and thanks to ArchDaily some looks into the sites are now available. Monuments to the beautiful game ranging from the architecturally exciting to the just plain useful. Headed to place bets of Theo Walcott scoring the first goal for England in that tournament now.

Here’s the second half of B-Store’s mammoth AW09 footwear collection. The collection excels in what B-Store do best, which is add a touch of fashion forward modernity to traditional shapes. So we’re see brogue uppers with Dr Martens-esque soles, design touches usually seen in boots and loafers galore.

Material-wise, there’s the use of suede and leather, which has been a recurring theme in several AW09 collections. It’s not ground-breaking, but when it’s done well – and it’s done extremely well in the shoe pictured above – it always results in a great shoe.

Take a look at the shoe armada after the leap.

Cycling is an offical Selectism pastime, so when we caught wind of cycling magazine The Ride, which combined cycling with great photography and clean design, we had to check it out. Created by brothers Philip Diprose and Andrew Diprose, The Ride is a UK based magazine that aims to give a much more open look into the world of cycling rather than a rigid look into any one aspect of it.

The independently produced magazine was created with the aim of creating a journal of personal stories (hence why it’s called journal instead of a magazine) and they’ve collected the stories of several seminal figures, including the likes of Paul Smith. The articles are all told from a first person perspective, usually being written by the people who are deeply involved in the movement.

The first issue is available for download on their site, but we’d recommend buying it as you just can’t beat physical copy – especially when it’s as well made as this.

Take a look at some spreads from the magazine after the jump.

As part of our ongoing efforts to provide you with pieces you can’t hold of, we’ve decided to show you this trench coat from Edifice Materiaux. As you may have guessed from the name, Edifice Materiaux is an offshoot of Selectism favourite Edifice and judging from this piece, they’ll soon be regulars on here as well. The trench itself is a summer weight piece, designed more for layering and rain protection than keeping you warm. (Style Cruise)

01. BauBike by Michael Ubbesen Jakobsen

“The BauBike is inspired by Bauhaus design. It is constructed around the geometric shape of the square and the equilateral triangle. The design is stripped down to clean lines and raw material. The open-end piece above the back wheel, offers the possibility to customize the function of the bike to whatever need you may have. The different accessories can be placed in the tube and can easily be changed if needed.” (yatzer)

Take your average piece of luggage add some British style, mix it with understated luxury and you get H by Harris. The brand was created by stylist Elliott Harris out of a need for a stylish yet practical laptop case. Harris has worked with such big name clients as Mark Ronson, Nike, and French Collection. H by Harris’s debut collection consists of two separate collections, the new Q collection is based around hand quilted Nappa Leather, while the SH collection is a waxed hide leather base. A great deal of inspiration comes from vintagemilitary bags. Check out the “H jacket”, which has a detachable rucksack zippered to the back. It’s “a new approach to camoflage.” -cw

We cover a staggering amount of chukkas but that’s how the trend rolls right now. I guess we’ll keep covering them as long as the factories keep kicking out great looks for the masses to choose from. The latest from the Nepenthes online site in the form of this killer colorway from Russell Moccasin. “Dirty beige” as the writer next to me describes it. Be sure to check the photos after the jump for more colorways. This pair alone, gets my choice chukka award (if that was to exist).
