We have to admit we’re getting a little tired of all the Nantucket prepster boat shoes rolling out in droves this fall/winter season, but we’re willing to change our minds for the co-branded collaboration between footwear companies UNDRCRWN and Rockport.

The D.O.C. Delta Boot has the classic boat shoe shape, but with quirky pink laces and a suiting-inspired pinstripe exterior the shoe goes beyond basics and offers a unique take on a silhouette that seems to be everywhere right now. We also love the luxe leather/wool/suede fabrication — much more chic than all those other canvas docksiders!

With a limited-edition run of only 100 pairs (and that’s worldwide!) we’re sure there will be a mad dash to UNDRCRWN (both retail stores and online) to pick them up at the November 27 launch, so get on your running shoes and catch them while you can.

Our lucky fellows across the pond will be able to partake in the recent UK launch of the Y-3 Sport Luxury line of athletic-inspired accessories.

We love the modern elegance of the pieces (our favorite is the black cracked leather satchel, above), which combine the extravagance and classic comfort of fine leather and wool with a pared-down aesthetic that screams neither “too fussy” nor “too sporty.”

Sport Luxury will be available at Y-3 flagship stores, Selfridges, and various smaller stores throughout the UK.

Take a peek at the new nerd-chic shades from Dita and Neighborhood, now available online at honeyee — but unfortunately for the Japanese domestic market only.  We hope these babies are available in the US sometime soon, because we would love to see these on our man paired with a perfectly worn-in button-down and a superhero smile.

Beginning today, new Fall/Winter 2009 pieces from Japanese streetwear company BBC/Ice Cream will be available for purchase at the Tokyo flagship store.  In this drop are Chukka boots, tote bags, and a parka featuring the company’s new digi camo print.

We’re relieved that, although the new print is certainly a quirky and creative take on the basic, utterly repulsive not-so-appealing camouflage motif, it appears mainly in small doses on accessories.  (We emphatically pass, however, on the overwhelmingly printed parka, and would prefer acting as though it doesn’t exist.)

Pieces from the mini-collection would look great paired with slouchy, perfectly worn-in tees and your favorite set of bass-pumping headphones.  But please — don’t match your shoes to your bag.
