It didn’t take Neff long to punch out a “commemorative” T-shirt with Michael Jackson on it.
Just a day after the tragedy with Michael Jackson, we created the “Long Live the King” tee for all those lovers of MJ who wish to preserve the life of the King himself. The tees will be available next tuesday for $20 in select retailers around the country. Check back for exact retailers next week.
Wonder if “select retailers” includes Urban Outfitters?

Joel Gomez has sold the Sessions brand and trademark to a new company that is backed by Samsung America, according to press release on TransWorld Business. The new company will, not surprisingly, be called Sessions, LLC and will continue to do the same thing they’ve been doing only now they’ll be doing it with someone else’s money.
“Even in these difficult times, Cindi and I felt strongly that, with the right business model and team, we could capitalize on over 20 years of experience and brand equity” said Joel Gomez in a statement. “Cindi and I have great confidence in the viability of this brand. We have a strong and experienced team and with Samsung as a partner, we now have the necessary capital to assure a smooth transition and continued success.”
One more reminder that in these economic times there’s nothing better than a big, fat paycheck. Follow the jump for the entire press release.

While we’re no fans of super flaired Flash websites, if a website owner is going to over-load their regular site with Flash graphics and other wiz-banglia, then the least they can do is build out a little mobile site for those of us who are riding the web with our phones all day. That’s exactly what Dakine has just done and the site works really well.
A newly launched, interactive site gives users access to DAKINE goodies while on the go. Content is broken down into categories including snowboard, ski, surf, skate, bike, windsurf, kiteboard, girls and music. An abbreviated version of DAKINE’s website, the mobile site, www.DAKINE.com/mobile, is compatible with most media rich-enabled cell phones.
In fact, if we were going to bookmark Dakine’s site on our home rig, we’d probably link up to the mobile site because it’s that much easier to use.

Adrenalina CEO Ilia Lekach isn’t done with Canada’s action sports retailer West 49 just yet, according to a story in the Globe and Mail. But not just yet, as Lekach says he’s busy.
“Right now I’m in the middle of another acquisition,” said Mr. Lekach, who put forth the offer two months ago. . . “I’m going to wait until I finish it, and then I’m going to go back to West 49.”
Hmmm, wonder what active acquisitions Mr. Lekach has going on right now? Either way, he says that later this year he’s going to get back on West 49 and buy it.

Miss California Tami Farrell was just one of the celebrities to get play at Billabong’s Design For Humanity event at Avalon on June 17, 2009. But the focus was not on surfing or saving the environment. She had words of advice for The Hills’ Stephanie Pratt.
“I think with all of the pressure with her family and the fame and all of the things that are always going on with them and the cameras, [the story is] just a reminder to get outside from all of that, focus on the actual reality, not the scripted reality and see that she’s a beautiful young girl,” said Farrell.
Luckily, we have no idea what she is talking about.

Pacific Sunwear today announced that former Vans President Gary Schoenfeld is their new CEO effective June 29, according to a story on the Wall Street Journal.
The leadership change at the teen retailer follows calls earlier this year from a shareholder group for the resignation of former CEO Sally Frame Kasaks, who will also step down as chairman. . . Many teen-apparel chains, once considered fairly resilient during economic downturns, have suffered in the recession as mall traffic has thinned.”We have a lot of work ahead to get our business turned around, yet I am very enthusiastic about our long-term prospects to be a favorite with our customers and create value for our shareholders,” Schoenfeld said.
Maybe Adrenalina was right?

Hey, if the rave re-revolution is sweeping the world, then what perfect timing for Neff to hook up with Steve Aoki “world famous DJ” for a limited edition run of Gilligan’s Island sailor caps. Right?
The Neff x Steve Aoki Sailor cap was born off the idea of a hat that could rule the seven seas. The cap comes in two color options, black and white. Also, the duo collaborated to create some knit beanies modeled after the best selling Neff daily which are available in grey and purple.
Our favorite part of the whole collab? “These limited edition Neff x DIM MAK hats will be dropping soon in select retailers such as Urban Outfitters, Karmaloop, Zumiez and all core snow skate shops worldwide.”
Can you really put the words “limited edition” and “Urban Outfitters” in the same sentence? Apparently, Shaun Neff can.

Just got a message from Felix Arguelles saying that Jereme Rodgers is no longer with the Famous Stars and Straps company.
” Famous stars and straps is releasing Jereme Rogers from their skateboard program. F.S.A.S. would like to thank Jereme for the positive contributions to the brand and wish him luck in his future endeavors. “
Luck in future endeavors? We think he’s going to need a little more than luck.
