With the World Cup just days away, Louis Vuitton launches their latest campaign featuring the “Holy Trinity” of footie (soccer for the Americanos). The “Core Values” campaign features three of the world’s greatest players ever. Yes, ever.

Pele – simply the Brasilian legend who was also an integral part of the (slight) rise of the game in the USA during the 70’s.  Maradona – the pure talent of an Argentinian. All “hands of god” aside, the man was clearly exceptional on the field (off is another thing). And of course Zidane who valiantly showed that if you dare discuss mothers on the pitch, you will feel consequences.

The campaign was shot by Annie Lebowitz. “The dedicated website louisvuittonjourneys.com will feature a conversation between the three players, in which they discuss their careers, recall the great matches they played in, and exchange views on the world’s favourite game. To finish, Pelé and Zidane challenge each other to a match of table football.”

“We partnered up with them to produce this extra heavyweight 13oz Natural Tan belt – features include hand stitching, waxed and finished edges…  We chose to use their 13oz vegetable dyed harness leather due to its heavyweight nature… The antique military buckle was sourced locally from an Army-Navy store and already shows light signs of aging and rusting; this does not affect its durability.”

24 units are being produced. Take it from someone who wears an ultra heavy duty belt – these will last for ages. Available now from 3sixteen.

The quality and style of Buttero has always been a favorite. While we usually especially like their casual footwear and boots, we have to hand it to them for these perfect low top sneakers as part of their Summer 2010 Collection. Nice canvas uppers, leather toe caps, leather laces and linings. Just an all in all beautiful shoe that works with shorts and without socks, just as well as with a pair of chinos or denim. They are now available from Por Vocacao.

More views of the sneakers follow after the jump.

01. “Don’t Feed the Hipsters” (in McCarren Park)

“The Trustocorp crew–who when last we checked in were filling stores with fake products like Banko$ (eat the rich) cereal–are back with a new public service sign. It reads: Don’t Feed The Hipsters, and is appropriately placed in McCarren Park, where kickball season just began. But let’s presuppose someone ignored this warning and did feed the hipsters, what do you think they like to eat? (Asking for a friend.)” (gothamist)

02. Cue the imperial death march – Thunderdog…

“We were happy to recently be invited into the world traveling exhibition THE VADER PROJECT, curated by DKE TOYS. For this project Tristan collaborated with Thunderdog regular AZK ONE and hand crafted a Darth Vader helmet reminiscent of war on earth, past future and present. We love it, but it is really, really creepy!” (notcot)

03. Hysterectic

“Firstly, before I go on, I’d better warn you: this is not for the feint-hearted. I’ve been cautious in what I’ve shown here, it’s grim in parts. In fact women, in particular, may well find this very uncomfortable; those that I’ve shown the book to have not liked it. But at the same time, the story behind this book, the story that the book tells, is such a powerful and intensely personal one for the photographer/artist, Sonya Whitefield, that I found it amazing and moving, not least because of Whitefield’s candor. And the book itself is a beautiful piece of work. A fitting, superbly thought through, record.” (acejet170)

04. Mattson Creative: Nashville Flood Relief Poster

“Here’s what Mattson Creative’s going to do. They’d like to donate this art to help with flood relief in the broadest possible way. So instead of printing these themselves, or working exclusively with one organization, what thay’re going to do is give the art to anyone who wants to use it to raise money. You can create prints, stickers, t-shirts…anything and everything that you think will help.” (monoscope)
