DVS Rico Sandbar

The DVS Rico Sandbar is the product of DVS + wakeskating. Mesh upper and water-friendly materials make it perfect for the summer months.

Osborn – Ashes to Ashes Boot

I’ve seen Osborn boots around the city in various shops and always thought that the silhouettes look really good, but the patterns were just too crazy. But the Ashes to Ashes version is right on.

Gravis – Sierra

If you are a girl then you should pick up the Sierra from Gravis. I like the mid-top height and the super slim sole.

Vans Vault – Aloha Pack

Anna and I got to spend a bunch of time on the north shore of Kauai in the last few years and now when I see Hawaiian print stuff, I don’t have the same ‘whoa that’s ugly’ reaction. Instead I remember how amazing the islands are and how cool everything that comes from there is – even aloha-wear. The Aloha Pack from Vans Vault captures that aloha spirit in the classic hi and lo top silhouettes.

Native – Miller Slip-On

Native makes the perfect summertime slip-on. They’re sort of like Crocs, but for grown-ups. They come in regular non-neon colors too. Above is the Vans/Keds-inspired Miller.

Nike Mercurial Vapor VII

A pretty graphic design inspired paint job for the recently anounced Mercurial Vapor VII’s by Nike. The idea is to ‘be fast, be seen’.

Nike Free TR Fit

What an ill shoe. The new Nike Free TR Fit is straight out of the future. It’s part of the Considered Design lineup, but doesn’t wear its ‘green-ness’ on its sleeve.

Osiris – Caswell VLC

Simple skateable Caswell VLC by Osiris.

Shoe Model No.1 by Society 27

Lovely packaging for this shoe (Model No.1) by Society 27, a collaborative design group. A two-piece plywood box reveals the shoe behind and provides a functional graphic element to the package.
