You wouldn’t expect Vans to be the presenting sponsor of the new hit Stacy Peralta documentary The Bones Brigade: An Autobiography without getting the clothing and footwear licensing deals out of it would you? No. You wouldn’t. And you’d be right.
In celebration of the highly-anticipated new documentary from Vans’ first sponsored skateboarder, Stacy Peralta, Vans offers a limited Vans x Bones Brigade footwear and apparel collection available now at finer skate shops and Vans retail stores worldwide.
You can load up on all the Bones Brigade 2012 official gear at www.vans.com/bonesbrigade. They also have some social media friendly games to play on the page as well. Think of it as one more reason to give VF Corp more of your money.
“We worked closely with the crew at Herschel Supply Co. to create two collaborative goggles that are as technical as they are timeless,” says Brent Sandor, SPY brand manager. “Dreaming up one of the cleanest design details we’ve ever seen—a pop of Herschel Supply Co.’s signature red on the lens groove of the goggle—this frame is visually distinct from anything else out there. They also built a bag that’s as unique as it is functional. Only Jamie [Cormack] and the crew at Herschel Supply Co. would have put this much thought into every aspect.”
The Platoon retails for $159.95 and the Marshall is just $129.95. Follow the jump for the official word. [click to continue…]
Whenever we see the Brothers Marshall gear an old Surf Punks song begins bouncing through our brains. Wonder why that is? Click the link for the rest of the Brothers fall 2012 goodness.
This collectible deck is built using Arbor’s, tried and true, bamboo and maple blend to deliver lightweight pop and durability. “By adding bamboo as a deck-side power ply, we create a hybrid maple construction that has a clean Zen flavor, nice return, and long lasting durability,” says Arbor product manager, Max Myers.
The decks come in 7.75, 8.0, 8.25, and 8.5 widths and each has a different gracphic by Sylvia Ji. Follow the jump for the official word from Arbor. [click to continue…]
Looks like the Frendsheadphone line has swerved from its former mission of only targeting dirty shreds to also offering a high-end fashion headphone line specifically aimed at women. The website update features super models and glossy photos from photographer Kenneth Capello to help make the push. Girlfrends?
The new headphones feature “jewelry inspired designs, genuine leather and hand crafted metal, soft touch fabrics, memory foam ear cushions and premium 40 mm drivers.” The Taylor Rosegold headphone sells for $199. The Ella Gold earbuds sell for $99.
Well, the product looks solid and they are differentiating themselves from that other headphone company. Oh, wait. . .

Interior decorators hoping to tap into modern youth design (and maybe spice up junior’s Pottery Barn room) have created a skateboard pendant light, according to a post on Technabob.
Though with its thin 24″ acrylic deck and narrow aircraft cables suspending it from its chrome canopy, I wouldn’t recommend trying to hop on it, unless you’re a hamster – or maybe a kitten.
Thing would probably look great hanging over a chrome and smoked glass dinning room table, too. We picture the table surrounded by hairy, mustachioed men in leisure suits and women in flouncy polyester Donna Summer dresses. Yes, the 70 are back. The light is available from eLights for only $178.00.
Last night (October 16, 2012, during the Presidential debates), in San Francisco, California, GoPro Founder and CEO Nicolas Woodman unveiled the GoPro Hero3.
Each new edition retains the iconic look of the previous award winning HD HERO cameras but comes in at about half the size of its predecessors and has built-in Wi-Fi technology. At the top end of the new product line up, the HD HERO3 Black Edition is one of the most powerful camera systems available, delivering astounding 4K and 2.7K video resolutions all in the size of a small box of matches, making it easier to share your world. The White, Silver and Black editions are available for pre-order at GoPro.com and are shipping to specialty retailers around the world for MSRP $199.99, $299.99 and $399.99 respectively.
Yes, just like the iPhone 5, everyone who uses and loves the GoPro is going to have to upgrade, dammit.
