The Baja’s protective angled bezel conceals an arsenal of digital assets including: compass, flashlight and thermometer, strapped with a nylon cuff and band.

Spy is rolling out its third collab with The Seventh Letter and this time the Platoon goggle features the art of Jersey Joe, aka RIME.
RIME’s complex characters—inspired by Garbage Pail Kids trading cards, Looney Tunes, and comic strips—are intended to live in the grittiness of the outdoors rather than a sterile gallery, making the Platoon the perfect open air canvas for his lines. With classic graffiti style and an irreverent approach to everything he does, the SPY + RIME Platoon is part of the ever-evolving curation between the world-renowned Seventh Letter Crew and SPY.

AOL, the company that can’t figure out what it is in the post-dialup world, still has a lot of money and they’ve been giving it to people who can do interesting things with it. One of those things is a new show called My Ink in which sporting stars take us all on a tour of their bodies via their tattoos. Episode two stars Ryan Sheckler, who from the looks of him, is nearly out of canvas space at this point, but that doesn’t mean he’s not nice to everyone he meets because he is. We know this.
