Just got word that a new footwear company called Praxis is going to launch at Agenda.   The owners of this brand are really behind the cultures and I am very fortunate to have met them a while ago.  Footwear is always evolving and Long Beach is going to really feel like Long Beach once again.

Please visit www.praxisfootwear.com   The ad above with Karl Watson just says it all.

5 and a Dime just one upped everyone on their Lookbook.

As I frequent these 2 sites on the normal…I just wanted to share this with everyone.

The Skate Nazi Site is done from a great friend Larry Warnken.  He does a really good documentation of the lives of everyone involved with SK8 Culture in Hawaii.  Larry is and will always be 100% Skateboarder.

The next site is done from my big brother in skateboarding Ryan Toyama.  Ryan took care of me growing up and would always be down to pick me up to let me see that there is other places to skate other then the town we grew up in.  I am ever so grateful till this day!

I do miss the guys and the more I am away from home I have learned that there is time lost that I should have spent doing things other then work.

Go peep:

Living in Las Vegas has its advantages as I can now go visit stores that I deal with and just say hello.  Nick Sakai and DJ Vice has opened up Crsvr in Santa Barbara I believe 3-4 Years ago and now have an extension in Las Vegas next to the Marquee Night Club in the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino.  Just took some flicks of the shop as its a truly amazing store!!!

The window space is a huge draw.  Sneakers, Apparel and the DJ Booth make people walk in as they are curious to see what this store is all about.

Shelves are stocked with new product from The Hundreds, Hall of Fame, Diamond Supply Co, Stussy and In4m.

The cut & sew fixture is full of apparel and caps from Nike, The Hundreds and Caps from Diamond Supply, The Hundreds and In4m.

Mitchell & Ness and Nike Tier 0!  Is snapbacks a popular item?

My last pic is the fixture of Stance Socks.  A fellow native to Hawaii is involved with this brand and much continued success to Mr. Kingman!  Once you try these socks you will want to throw your old socks away as the comfort is the key!

Thanks to Nick, Vice and Low!  I appreciate the hospitality every time I visit!

Just got to see a little sneak peek of the new SLVDR Spring 12 line and its good to see the line growing each and every year.  Congratulations to Rob Myers and to his sales team over at 722 Figueroa Showroom.

Below is more info on the brand if you never heard of it.

LAGUNA BEACH, CA – June 12, 2009 – Born in California and influenced by the world, SLVDR (pronounced sal-va-dor) is a new socially conscious clothing line that offers high quality, well considered garments for men.

The brainchild of seasoned designer and action sports industry vet, Robert Myers, SLVDR has literally been years in the making. As a kid growing up in Southern California, Rob spent countless hours at the beach, mountains, and shredding empty backyard pools. His genuine love for board sports and the surrounding lifestyle drove him to become an apparel designer fifteen years ago – a career path that has taken him to the ends of the Earth, and one he credits as his “creative salvation.”

Gaining inspiration from the richness of previous life experiences, and noticing a void in today’s menswear market for a sophisticated line he could fully relate to, Rob felt compelled to launch SLVDR.

Marked by a timeless design aesthetic, sharp eye for detail, top-shelf fabrics, and refined finishes, SLVDR is an excellent alternative for those who desire premium clothing that properly reflects their lifestyle and is priced right.

“With SLVDR we strive to offer an authentic, relatable brand that provides ‘attainable luxury,’” Rob says. “The basic idea is that you get a special product made with the best materials, but you don’t have to break the bank to buy it.”

As part of the SLVDR mission, Rob is using his brand as a philanthropic platform to give back to the board sports community. To make this happen, he established the Common Thread Project which works closely with likeminded brands and retailers to collect and distribute gently used boards, footwear, clothing and accessories to deserving youth around the world. Skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing all played key roles in the development of SLVDR, and it is the wish of the brand to provide similar opportunities for positive growth to kids who might not otherwise have the means to get involved with board sports.

SLVDR’s sophomore collection, Summer 2009, is now available at select North American retailers. The SLVDR line will expand each new season, with the Fall/Holiday 2009 collection slated to hit shops in September.

Royal Hawaiian Pool Service x Vans Part 2.

12 September 2011, 22.23 | Posted in Uncategorized | No comments »

Another treat came in the mail last week and I wanted to give a little more depth to this great collaboration between RHPS and Vans.

Heres a photo of the Skate Mid with a limited edition RHPS x INDEPENDENT Trucks Tshirt that was made only available in Japan.  SHAKA FAKA!

The color way of this project is my absolute favorite colors with the Blue/Black which to me resembles a great color way in a past shoe that was released in the late 80’s.

RHPS Tongue label alongside with SHAKA label in the Vans stripe.

The other side.

The soles are reversed.  The Top is the RHPS shoe and the bottom is a Half Cab that has never been worn.  The original waffle sole reversed to give all you POOL shredders some added grip.

Grant always send me these letters alongside the gifts he sends me.  That sticker is so funny!!!!

Thanks so much Grant!!!
