Comme des Garcons x The Beatles clothing and accessories range

Beat1

It's made in very limited numbers in Japan, it's made by Comme des Garcons and it has the Fab Four's official stamp on it. You just know this Comme des Garcons x The Beatles clothing and accessories range isn't going to come cheap.

But if you love the band and like a bit of exclusivity, it could be for you. The range includes Apple / The Beatles-branded t-shirts, polo shirts and a rather pricey, but very eye-catching transparent tote bag, which you can see over the page.

But the most interesting design is this reworked Comme des Garçons x The Beatles Spring Court plimsoll. We have featured the originals in the past, which were popular with '60s mods and worn by John Lennon on the cover of Abbey Road. The new version has both the Apple and Beatles logos, plus the exclusivity of course. However, this limited edition is almost three times the price of the basic version at £110, so maybe for the hardcore fan only.

Pedlars Vintage Sunglasses

Pedlarssunglasses 
Pedlars’ vintage ranges are always worth a look and their latest consignment of Vintage Sunglasses is no exception.

Pictured here is my favourite design, an Italian style from the 1970s in grey, but the other styles are just as stylish. Choose from unisex Japanese Aviators (dating from sometime in the period from the 1950s to 1970s) in either gold or silver or 1970s Pilot sunglasses from the USA. The Italian glasses cost £210, the other styles a bit more at £225.

Visit the Pedlars site to buy before they all sell out.

1970s Adidas Rod Laver trainers reissued

Laver

Not the most regular reissue on the Adidas roster, the Adidas Rod Laver trainers have been reissued just in time for Wimbledon.

From that (and the name), you'll have gathered that this was a tennis shoe when it landed in 1970, returning here in an appropriate white with green, as well as with a mesh upper, suede toe box, contrasting vulcanised sole and classic branding.

Limited edition, £55 is the price.

Sunpocket Original sunglasses

Sunpocket
Another design dug out of the archives – in the case of Sunpocket Original sunglasses it's not too long since they left circulation the first time round.

The sunglasses originated in the late 1970s in France, where they were developed for use in skiing and other winter sports. However, they reached their hey-day in the 1980s, when their folding frame and looks found favour on the street too. They're back again, to see if they can reach such levels of popularity again in 2011. 

This matt vanilla pair costs £45.

1970s Adidas Dragon trainers reissued in white

Dragon

A more back to basics reissue than the Size? exclusive that appeared back in January, this version of the Adidas Dragon trainers keeps things nice and simple in white.

A lightweight running shoe from the 1970s, the Dragon is always popular because it keeps everything similar, especially with a white upper, matched up with blue and red detailing, plus the gold Dragon branding.

Side and nylon mix for the upper, with an eco-friendly lining and contrasting EVA wedge midsole. Grab a pair directly from Adidas, £52 is the price.

Puma x UNDFTD Clyde Canvas trainers

Clyde1

The Puma Clyde is a 1970s trainer that we've featured many times, although none quite like the Puma x UNDFTD Clyde Canvas trainers.

THis is, as you might have guessed, a limited edition makeover, specifically by Undefeated out of Los Angeles. The design of the shoe has (quite rightly) remained largely unchanged, aside from the addition of a canvas upper, some additional branding for the tongue and four new colour options. One of those is above, another over the page.

A good one for summer, £69 is the price.
