The last day of the Mishka sale (50% off) is upon us, and as my coworkers line up to run the Bolder Boulder (and I attempt to recover from a painful incident with some delicious dairy: tastes good, but the body doth protest) they dropped yet another discount code (”TWITTER” for an additional 12% off). [...]
Malcom Mclaren is best known for opening the Sex shop in London (with Vivienne Westwood, which means they popularized bondage pants with all of those “up the punks” types and got Sid to put “butt fuckers” jelly in his hair… that’s a quote from “Please Kill Me“), managing the Sex Pistols, and putting a teenager [...]
Did you bring enough for the class? Not content to dominate my footwear wardrobe for the last fifteen years, Vans has also demanded some amount of cultural attention: from shots of Ian and Henry screaming at hardcore kids in the 80s, whilst wearing Eras, to the endless streams of collabs, and (for better or for [...]
Vans Japan comes out with some crazy colorways, but their new Mountain Edition in white leather is just sick (the mutt’s nuts, the dog’s bollocks, sweet sweetness, better than a handjob from Al Sharpton, fresher than fresh, newest in new… go right up to your face and diss you)!
I’d buy these today if we could [...]
It’s all flowers and long walks and late talks between me and my new girl, Mishka… hot damn (and Apple Pucker) the new Spring 09 t-shirt line is looking h-amazing, fantastic, and (to rip-off the Damned) neat neat neat. Shirts inspired by action adventure pulp novels and others inspired by early 80s video games (they [...]
Helly-Hansen is dropping a new cycling jacket, the Charger. Though they are designed for mountain biking, the cuts are slim and designed for riding, making them useful to all cyclists. The only colorway I found is a plaid number, which isn’t too overwhelming but does smack a little of Burton steez as of the last [...]
I have mixed feelings about Cadence Clothing: on the one hand it’s nice to see stuff made from reclaimed (or salvaged) materials, but on the other, it’s overpriced and the over abundance of cotton is not exactly practical (cotton does not insulate when wet, unless by insulate you mean “freeze solid”). That said, I really [...]
(Sorry for the delays on new posts, a nice long rant is a-coming.)
The Etnies Rap was a sweet shoe that predated the Sals and some of the other shoes that put them on the map in the 90s. It was like a dunk, but beefier and ready to skate. This video talks about the history [...]
I’m always on the prowl for “ill” desktop wallpaper: for my desktops, laptop, iPhone, and my Commodore 64. It was with this in mind that I drunkenly stumbled on the Kitsune Noir Desktop Wallpaper Project… that is, the best source for hi-res desktop wallpaper from great artists. Often even a PSP size is included. It [...]
More on the eco friendly Vault Vans: skate his in black and purple. Not sure when they’re dropping and I doubt I’ll buy them, but it is nice to see more green concious footwear being produced.
