Yesterday I went up to see my friends Kori from Mfa and Merryl from Kidrobot for a lil preview of Kidrobot’s Fall 2009 line. Once again, I was feeling the New Era’s and especially like how KR has rolled with the end of all over prints and other wildstyle stuff and are keeping their shit more wearable and basic. As someone who wears them every day, winter or summer, I really liked the Havaiana collabo and can’t wait to bug heads out in Brasil with those. You can catch those over at Rad Collector too. Finally, their new Nooka looked pretty fresh to me even though none of us could figure out how to open the box. Some looks at all the good shit after the jump.

I was lucky enough to be invited out to Vegas by the fine folks at Toyota Matrix. Let me tell you, these people know how to do it right. From touchdown to liftoff, Toyota treated me and crew of writers to what was, without a doubt, my best trip to Sin City. Seriously, I hate Vegas, but this was quite an exception. More on the trip this weekend, but peep a little of how we got down. Thanks to Leaders and of course Chad Harp. Cop a Matrix! Pics after the jump.
