WM MS574UF 17 540x324 New Balance x Undefeated Sonic 574 Limited Edition Sneakers

For Fall 2010, premium footwear brand New Balance and renowned sneaker shop Undefeated have joined forces to create the New Balance x UNDFTD Sonic 574, a limited edition fleece sneaker inspired by retro sweatshirts from the 80’s.

James Bond, co-founder of Undefeated, says the “reverse weave fleece that is loved by athletes and spectators alike is the perfect canvas to showcase and celebrate the classic American history of the two brands.” The New Balance x UNDFTD Sonic 574’s upper textile is a heather grey sweatshirt material sonically bonded with the synthetic suede complete with varsity “N” detailing. Undefeated will also be launching coordinating apparel for this project.

The New Balance x Sonic 574 comes in grey and black and will be sold at Undefeated stores starting TODAY.

Mountain Dew, in collaboration with skateboarding star Paul Rodriguez and legendary skate artist Don Pendleton, announced today the launch of the Green Label Art: Shop Series, a contest where 35 skate shops across America compete to have their design featured on a Mountain Dew can.

The Green Label Art: Shop Series provides a platform for skate shops to promote their local culture on a national scale, gain unprecedented exposure, win $10,000 in prize money ($5,000 for the winning shop; $5,000 for the winning artist), and compete with other shops across the country for a chance to have their artwork featured on a nationally distributed Mountain Dew can.

Each of the 35 participating skate shops collaborated with a local artist of their choice and created a unique Mountain Dew can design. Beginning June 25, fans are encouraged to visit Greenlabelart.com to check out all the shops, vote on their favorite can designs and enter for a chance to win a trip to the Dew Tour or limited-edition skateboarding gear featuring the artwork from Paul and Don’s can.

DSC 0020 540x500 TRADITION X ERIC WRIGHT    WRIGHTEOUS TEE
Westlake Village Streetwear boutique, Tradition, had teamed up with Cleveland Browns Cornerback Eric Wright and Heist & Co. to bring you the Limited Edition “Wrighteous” tee. This is the second in a series of official collaborations with professional athletes that Tradition had done, the first being with Golden State Warriors‘ Stephen Curry.
Tradition’s background is heavily rooted in sports, so teaming up with Eric Wright and the Los Angeles based streetwear brand Heist And Co for this official collab was a no brainer. Going into his 4th season Eric has become one of the NFL’s most talented corners in the league. Tradition will be releasing the tee Friday August 13th. Due to the demand for this limited edition tee, Tradition is offering a chance to pre order this shirt before the official release date. All of Tradition’s collaborations and limited edition t-shirt drops always sell out fast, and this will be no exception. Call (805)497-4717 to order one today.
