We just can’t stop smiling every time we see the Yoda Aloha print. Vans has hooked up an official license with Star Wars and they didn’t slack on the project at all. They’ve got a six-piece Classics collection featuring Boba Fett, Stormtroopers, Darth Vader, and the Death Star and another set from Vault.
Vans takes off to a galaxy far, far away for an out-of-this-world collection featuring artwork from the original Star Wars trilogy. The Force is strong in this intergalactic offering that extends from Classics and Vault by Vans footwear to men’s apparel and women’s accessories. By combining heritage Vans prints with iconic Star Wars characters, both entities present a truly unique capsule this universe has never seen before.
The Vans x Star Wars Classics and Apparel collection hit Vans retail stores and other select locations in June. For the official word from Vans and photos of nearly everything in the Classics and Vault collections, follow the jump. [click to continue…]

Seems lately there’s nothing more retro than a magazine. And Matix and picked up on that groove and produced a collection of shirts and skateboards that repurpose the iconographic 1970s Skateboarder Magazine cover images and use them art on their new Skateboarder Mag clothing collection.
We’re not sure how the kids are going to feel about clothing featuring the logo of a magazine that went out of business less than a year ago, but there will be a few rad dads who’ll likely tear up at the memories that these cover images bring back — Rector gloves, Road Rider wheels, and Logan Earth Skis.
The good news for dads is that it’s all for sale right now on the Matix website. Shirts go for $38, tanks $28 and decks for $55. The covers dress shirt may be our favorite. To check out the entire collection, follow the jump.

With the rise of the mirage of epic riches in professional skateboarding it seems some little league dads are beginning to think that pushing their kids into skateboarding could be the way to be set for life. This Dad at Kona Skatepark was apparently not happy with the way his 6-year-old’s skate career was progressing so he kicked him into the vert ramp just as he was about ready to drop in. Don’t know how this dude lives with himself. Florida strikes again.

Canada’s National Film Board is releasing a brand new interactive documentary project featuring skateboarding films from 14 filmmakers from 11 countries. And all of them are in some way or another paying tribe to Claude Jutra’s seminal 1966 skate film The Devil’s Toy. Filmmakers include Greg Hunt, Benny Malinao, Steve Durand, Myriam Verreault, Fred Mortagne, Qi An Juan, Corey Adams, and Argyris Papadimitropoulos.
The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) has created this interactive documentary that helps viewers to easily navigate from one film to the next and witness the evolution of skateboarding culture as told through these filmmakers. From Singapore to Lyon, Montreal to Johannesburg, the urban landscape and its inhabitants may differ widely, but one thing remains constant: the world is one big skatepark.
It all goes live on the web tomorrow April 30, 2014. For the rest of the story, follow the link to The Devil’s Toy Redux website.

The opening reception for Don Pendleton, Ferris Plock, and Jason Adams’ group art show Distance Decay and Time Space Compression is May 3, 2014 beginning at 6 PM.
The gallery is proud to present this group survey on moving across mental states, international borders, state lines, genres and societal expectations that shows three larger-than-life journeys coming together for a moment in time. . . As American artists from the same generation, Pendleton, Plock, and Adams use paint and wood, and all three have personal backgrounds in skateboarding – and that’s where similarities end and differences begin – which is how the exhibition gets its title.
Artists Republic 4 Tomorrow is located at 1175 South Coast Hwy, in Laguna Beach, California. For the official word from AR4T, follow the jump. [click to continue…]
