The parent company got innovative yesterday, debuting a promotional campaign starring baseball legend and fictional d**khead Kenny Powers to push their new TubesK shoe, the titular feature being some amalgamation of moon boots and gummy worms that serves the same general function as Shape Ups without being hideous or overpriced.

It’s def not the norm for designers in fashion to be humble, gracious and sincere ( jus’ sayin) and especially with someone as highly regarded and rated as Billy Reid, top US designer, multi boutique owner and Southern gentleman (recent winner of the GQ/CFDA Best Menswear Designer award). Billy’s the subject of Jake Davis’ in [...]

You’ve most likely noticed an increase in many things ‘awesome’ around here – granted, it’s probably a California symptom but hey there are in fact many shades of awesome-ness on the left coast of the US. The latest being ‘Awesome Challenge’ where ordinary people take on extra-ordinary tasks like um deciding to climb Cali’s highest summit Mt Whitney at 14 505 ft starting April 28th and besides the personal challenge of it all, it’s for a great cause in helping under resourced urban teens make it into the great wild outdoors and beyond.

Outside Online has done us all a favor, people: they’ve compiled a list of “The Top 10 Athletes On Twitter”! Yes, tweets are the new blogs, and everyone loves it when their favorite jock gets online and reveals what goes on in their rarefied world.

Some songs are begging to be covered again, then rediscovered for a new audience. Other songs, well, maybe they’re covered too much… Case in point: “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” the absolutely classic by Joy Division – so classic it could be (and maybe is) a standard like, say, “My Funny Valentine.”

There’s a whole lot to be said about CLASSIC for sure !  but most of all it’s kinda that ease comfort and timelessness that probably best expresses the word. We’re very proud of our 1966 Classic original with its sport and cultural heritage, and with that in mind we welcome you to step into our [...]
