The good news is that it will be lighter.

Spied on the Kidrobot Message Boards artist and customizer Tyler has created a new and affordable Do-It-Yourself platform for all you artists out there. A clever little creation made out of PVC named Mutt.
The idea behind MUTT was to create a D.I.Y. that you could not only custom, but could custom build before you even get the toy to achieve more of what want. MUTT, appropriately named, is just that. you can mix and match any accessories giving you more options in the D.I.Y. side of things than were available before. the “shell” itself is an ambiguous shape that lends its self to go any direction you would want to take it.
This backpack is a collaborative effort between New York streetwear boutique Dave’s Quality Meat and Tokyo-based bag makers SAG, and comes in as a surprise release as little information has been leaked beforehand. Choosing to work on the Air Force 1 model, the bag was given a revamp with patent leather treatment and 3M reflective details. More pictures after the jump.
