Tretorn

Since its inception in Helsinborg in the late 19th Century, Tretorn have always been for people who enjoy to live their lives outside. Starting out producing rubber goods, Tretorn are now more widely recognised outside Sweden for their classic understated and practical sneakers as well as their sponsorship of the ATP World Tour. They also understand that products that celebrate a life lived outside have a commitment to a sustainable approach to manufacturing and respect for the environment. They have set up major sectors that ensure their longstanding commitment to social corporate responsibility as well as forming an essential relationship between employees, environment and customers.

These guys really know how to put together a great pair of trainers and the fairest part is the price:


Krona Mid Suede - £80

T56 Canvas - £55

T56 Black Canvas - £55


(via Selectism, cheers guys)

If there is such a thing as exhibition envy, I am feeling it right now. The National Gallery of Art in Washington is putting on the first scholarly exhibition of a true legend of modern American poetry (and personal favourite of mine), Allen Ginsberg. From early photographs of close friends and fellow writers, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs through his rise to literary fame and involvement in an expanding generation of beat writers, this is an intimate exhibition of his friends and lovers all assessed in scholarly scrutiny.
