The Dunkxchange is another show going on this weekend, and to celebrate the 4 year anniversary of the event we got together with one of the founders, Curtis Brown, to produce a limited run of fitteds. Two colorways were made, one in the classic red/black/grey color scheme and the second colorway matching up with the Clark Kent x Nikes's. Quantities are very limited and will be going fast. Don't sleep on these...

H Town Sneaker Summit



H Town Sneaker Summit is one of the biggest events for shoes in the country. Going strong for nearly 6 years now, they bring out thousands of collectors each year to this bi-annual show. We got together with the founder of the event this year to create a set of fitteds that will be available exclusively at the show.


Each purchase also wins a raffle ticket to win a 1 of 1 set of fitteds and Air Force One's, signed by Bun B of UGK and a bunch of his homies from a recent concert they did. If you're in the area, definitely stop by. It's going down this Sunday at the Meridian in Houston.

Laurent Gets Another Cover





















Congrats to Laurent for bagging the cover of Transworld's September issue. Yes I realize it's July and snow is the farthest thing from most of your minds right now, but hey, news is news. The cover-shot is from the Transworld Team Shootout, which Laurent and the Rome team won. You can download the video here. Enjoy.

What'd I Miss?

Ok, so I was out of the country for roughly the last two weeks and alot has happened since then. So let's get to it, in no particular order.
Andrew Langi (am) and Mark Suciu (flow) were travelling around NorCal hitting up a few spots and shops.







































Check out the Force Trucks blog for more photos and stories.




Laurent-Nicolas Paquin got briantapped on the Videograss website. Click on the photo below to take a look.



Devine Calloway was spotted at the CCS Santa Monica store opening wearing the Homerun fitted in the Yankee colorway available only in the online store.













Matty Mo (am) was got a part-time job at Cobra Dogs for the summer. So if you're down for hotdogs (no homo) and you're at any of the snowboard camps in Oregon for the next month or two, stop by and say hello (that's him on the left with his name on the back of his shirt).













Walker Ryan got interviewed at 48 Blocks. Click to photo below to read it and check out his sponsor list to find out why we're telling you about it.



...and lastly. Michael Jackson passed away just as I was leaving the country. And yes, it's been all over the media since, but one more time won't hurt. Anyway, forget all the nonsense and remember the musician. That is all.
