Burton Snowboards continues on their “put a rapper on it” program with a new partnership with Pharrell Williams and Bionic Yarn.
Featuring unique Peruvian-inspired designs, bright primary colors and vintage stripes, the new collection is created exclusively with BIONIC Yarn, an incredible thread that uses 40-45% recycled content and is 400% stronger than conventional yarns.
Pharrell looks pretty stoked on that jacket, doesn’t he? They’re no leather sweatpants, but we’re guessing this is just one more fashion/rap deal that will piss Kanye West off. For the official word from Burton, follow the jump.

Gretchen Bleiler is now staring on her own label of a limited edition bottle of Muscle Milk.
This is the first time the company has featured a female athlete on limited edition packaging. The 14 oz. bottle can be found at retail outlets throughout Colorado through the rest of the year and is available in Vanilla Crème flavor. A portion of the proceeds from this bottle will benefit Protect Our Winters in the fight against climate change.
Oddly, all you can see of Gretchen is her goggles, helmet and scarf, but we’d know that frontside air anywhere.
