Fresh from a 2 week tour in Brazil and Argentina and I'm full of new favorites, one of which is this clothing and shoe company out of Buenos Aires: Cover Your Bones.

The styles and patterns are a well balanced blend of then and now. They have Converse, Keds and Dunks-like styles, and patterns like Warhol bananas, Pacman ghosts, and splatter paint. They make shoes that match their wallpaper!!!

We were lucky enough to go to the warehouse and check out the new stuff: sunglasses, huge  shoulder bags, and their new Flashdance inspired LA Gear style mid-hightop. Just the artwork on the box is enough to give an Irene Cara fan a heart attack.

These guys know how to make a shoe for a child of the 80's!

The graphics blew our minds and we were a little nauseated, in a good way, possibly due to the after-effects of our raging party the night before at Mundo Bizzaro, a fun bar somewhere in Buenos Aires that made us feel right at home with Guacamole at 3 am!
