In today’s episode, Maestro received another pair of Nike Air Yeezys before the official hyped release. Being the down-to-earth sneakerhead he is, Maestro takes the Black/Pink demons around town with MJ to skate in ‘em; and to scuff them up. Personally (like I said before), I would never do physical activity in Yeezys haha.
This episode highlights an unique characteristic within Levi; who, while acknowledging the significance of the Yeezy, doesn’t hesitate to wear a shoe[.. tear a shoe].

Bern is taking the snowboarding world by storm with their innovative, yet stylish, helmet designs. The designs of their helmets provide a fashionable approach with the technical aspects you may be looking for. The “Baker” was the first helmet to provide a functional visor lid, while the “Watts” is the world’s first vented visor lid. The “Watts” is available as a hard-hat with multiple impact Brock Foam or a helmet with EPS Foam. By incorporating a visor, Bern helmets create a better fit and prevent snow from sitting on top of a rider’s goggles.
Both models are available at Outtabounds in all colorways.

LRG went back to their roots (pun!) to shoot their Spring 2010 lookbook. LRG has always had an influential presence with collaborations, thier own work, and ties to artists like Mike Posner, B.o.B., and Wale. Here’s a glimpse of whats to come later this year.
To be honest our Spring 2010 photoshoot was a last minute idea that came from marketing and design. We wanted to give the consumer an emotional tie by shooting on location with vivid scenery and cutting edge photography. Spring 2010 was shot in Yosemite National Park. Destination photography is the direction we will be taking moving forward. We rented an R.V. and loaded up it up with people, food and equipment and drove all night until the sun came up. We had no idea what to expect but knew we were going somewhere beautiful and unexplored. Beautiful is an understatement and creativity was in full bloom. We shot skate team riders Rob Gonzalez, Karl Watson and Kelly Hart and also up and coming artist Mike Posner. It took one day to scout locations and the rest we freestyled. We literally stumbled upon some of mother natures finest. This new direction will give L-R-G a more mature feeling and bring personality and life to our clothing. We think you’ll agree how refined, polished and distinguished the Spring 2010 line looks. We are forever young at heart and our concept will always remain the same. We hope you enjoy!

Hypebeast is currently featuring a HUF interview with creator Keith Hufnagel and designer Hanni El Khatib.
How happy are you with Spring/Summer 2010? What are some of your favorite pieces in the collection?
I feel S/S came out very well. I feel like our seasons keep on getting better and better. For me, my favorite items are the Dot Check shirt, college jacket and our selvedge denim. Three classic pieces for Spring.
How much of a hand did you have in the design process, seeing as your surely busy running the business side of things?
I always help out and put my thoughts in. I do let Hanni do his thing though. He is the designer and we are on the same page as far as the direction of the brand is concerned.
In your eyes, how much has HUF progressed since the cut-and-sew collection first began?
We have progressed 100%. We used to only have a few cut-and-sew pieces, now we have a full range.
Bonus:
Keith Hufnagel interviewed by Daichi Ito. Best interviewer in the business; in the game!!!

“…designed with a sense of posh lavishness…”
Quiksilver Women is probably something you’ll see Quiksilver doing completely different. Being fashion-driven, it’s a step in new a direction, a good direction. The “Featured Women” in the pictures are just a few girls who personify Quiksilver Women and the line’s overall ideology. The collection is equal parts rebellious and refined. With a range of knits, woven tops, dresses and denim, the offerings run the gamut of tomboy chic styles to ladylike looks.
