DC SHOES EUROPE PRESENTS BURNING INK ART SHOW “ALL THE DRAWINGS WILL BE BURNT AT THE END OF THE SHOW”

Following on from the success of the Burning Ink event in Paris, New York City and Berlin, DC Europe is proud to be launching the 4th edition of the Burning Ink art show in London (Beach Gallery, 20 Cheshire Street, E2), from the 13th to the 31st of March 2012 in partnership with Kids love Ink Custom Tattooing owned by the very talented Charlie Shazer. Bringing together a unique selection of world-renowned street artists, graphic designers and illustrators, Burning Ink is a crossover event between the worlds of fine arts and tattoos. Previous editions artists were: Ssur, SBTG, Jeykill, Supakitch, Koralie, Xghetto666, Prunelle, Scien+Klor & Dean (123klan), Marok, Spoe, Jef & Kostek @La Boucherie Moderne, Chloe Trujillo and more… curated by Erwann Lameignère. The concept is as radical and unique as before: all the handmade drawings designed by selected artists will be burnt at the end of the show. A very different concept to an ordinary art show, no one can go home with the art in its hands. The only way for the drawings to survive the flames is to be bought and inked into the buyers’ skin, making each design a unique tattoo. The first edition of Burning Ink was held in Paris at Jeykill’s “Bleu Noir”, the tattoo parlor/gallery in Durantin street, Paris 18th. New York’s Burning Ink took place in Frank’s Chop shop, an incredible barber shop, managed by a young team of creative blades, located in the Lower east side, at Essex street, 19. Berlin’s burning ink took place in the downtown venue and wellknown MadeMyDay collabroom, located at Torstrasse, 66 not far from Alexander Platz.
Burning Ink art show – March 13th to 31st
With Kids Love Ink custom tattooing, exhibition @ beach gallery

Supra presents The Owen

The first lightweight running shoe from SUPRA features an ultra soft, blown EVA SUPRAFOAM® midsole. A synthetic mesh upper with microfiber reinforcements reduces weight and improves breathability. The rubber pads on the contact areas offer traction and even distribution of impact across the sole. Strong, durable, looped nylon webbing is used for the lace stays and heel pull tab, and in conjunction with rope laces, makes for quick and easy cinching. The Owen is available now in red/white, grey/white, navy/white and black/yellow at SUPRA retailers worldwide, and at www.suprafootwear.com.

“Add to that a weight of only 200g for a stupendously light ride, and this is an intriguing effort for the Spring that we hadn’t even known to expect.”
—sneakernews.com

“Weighing in at a mere 200 grams, SUPRA unveils their latest design in the form of the Owen… With four colorways, which colorway will you hit the trail with?”
—nicekicks.com

“The ultralight Owen represents a new direction for the company, as they pair a mesh and synthetic upper with a superultramegalight (our word) blown foam midsole.”
—Complex Magazine

Founded in 2006, SUPRA quickly became one of the world’s leading independent footwear brands. SUPRA is recognized for its groundbreaking silhouettes, unique combination of materials, and dynamic color stories. Originally born out of Southern California skateboard culture, SUPRA has remained firmly committed to its roots while also offering distinctive and compelling products to a broad, international audience.

Posso Europe Tour

Volcom is excited to announce that POSSO will be touring in Europe in honor of their spring 2012 collection within the Volcomunity Collective. Each style in this standalone capsule collection is fashionably understated yet uniquely sexy. Designed by Marylouise and Vanessa (better known as POSSO), the collection captures their spirit of day to night dressing. Easy going, slightly rebellious, chic-classic with an edgy undertone. POSSO means I CAN in Italian. From Italian decent and living in California, best friends since high school Marylouise Pels and Venssa Giovacchini make music, DJ and design clothes and accessories. “We have both always been creative people since we were very young so a typical office job just never felt right… Between the two of us we have too many ideas and ambitions to be sitting down all day. Deciding to go into business together – designing, unlocked the creative power that we harness when we work together. We were introduced to the Volcom family through a few dear friends who work there, and literally as soon as we met we all fell in love! Both the men’s and women’s lines are really well done… classic, relaxed, and Californian but also chic and vintage inspired, which encompasses our lifestyle. We especially love the denim.” POSSO works to create an all around sensory experience for music lovers globally, their style, passion for life and all that surrounds it makes these girls truly one step ahead of time. Catch the real POSSO vibe during one of their tour stops.

New York Dirty Fences on Volcom Entertainment – debut on April 2012

Stealin’ cigarettes from your mom’s purse, getting loaded on cheap swill, steamed-up windows from a drunken make-out sesh in the back of a souped-up Nova; these are just a few of the amusingly nostalgic images that come to mind the minute you hear Brooklyn’s Dirty Fences new single ‘Sid’ off their upcoming self-titled debut. Born and raised in Boston, this baby-Stooges quartet is somehow able to throw buckets of mature stank atop their thoroughly steeped-in-garage-rock sound, that clearly defies the collective age of its members. With its Motor City-worthy riffs, bombastic back-beat and a sing-along chorus celebrating life’s delinquent shenannies, ‘Sid’ is a dream come true for those yearning for unapologetic, balls-out rock n’roll. Raunchy, rousing and oozing dangerously good times, Dirty Fences’ 6-song debut EP comes out April 10th 2012 via Volcom Entertainment. In the meantime, you can find them heading out on an east coast tour with Cults. For some reason the old adage “lock up your daughters” comes to mind. Which frankly, is what made rock n’ roll so exciting in the first place.

Bjorn Johnston Now Riding For SUPRA And KR3W

Wednesday, February 1, Fountain Valley, CA—ONE Distribution is pleased to announce that Bjorn Johnston is the newest member of the KR3W and SUPRA Australian teams. “Bjorn has been a long time friend of mine and of the teams for years,” said Dennis Martin. “He’s been killing it ever since I first met him and he totally fits in with our style.”
Bjorn was born and raised in New Zealand, and four years ago moved to Australia where he’s had a steady presence in the magazines and is never far from the top of the heap in contests. Bjorn doesn’t have any VB or Vegemite tattoos, but he does have his family crest and some battleships inked on his body in homage to his Nordic heritage. His skateboard roots run just as deep: he has a tattoo of a picture from the 70s of his dad doing a handstand on a skateboard. “When the chance to ride for KR3W and SUPRA came up,” Bjorn said, “I couldn’t have been more psyched. I had met and skated with a bunch of the team before, always thought the product was cool. The thing I’m most excited about is that when I was growing up, Muska, Penny, and Stevie Williams were some of my favorite skaters, so the chance to ride for the same companies as they do is amazing.” KR3W and SUPRA look forward to a strong relationship with Bjorn and are proud to make him the first Kiwi to join the global team. Founded in 2006, SUPRA quickly became one of the world’s leading independent footwear brands. SUPRA is recognized for its groundbreaking silhouettes, unique combination of materials, and dynamic color stories. Originally born out of Southern California skateboard culture, SUPRA has remained firmly committed to its roots while also offering distinctive and compelling products to a broad, international audience. WWW.SUPRAFOOTWEAR.COM

KR3W is a southern California based apparel brand that was born out of skateboard culture on the streets of Los Angeles. Since its inception in 2003, KR3W has been on the forefront of young men’s fashion with a full collection of denim, shirts, shorts, and shoes. Most notably, KR3W is recognized as the originator of the skinny jean style. KR3W appears on some of the world’s most recognized celebrities, artists, and athletes while remaining firmly committed to its skateboarding roots.

SMITH OPTICS : NEW I/OX AND I/OX TURBO FAN / NEW I/O RECON MOD LIVE

PATENTED VAPORATOR LENS TECHNOLOGY WITH POREX™ FILTER
The most advanced thermal lens ever. Patented Vaporator silicone seal creates an airtight, bomb-proof seal, eliminating lens delamination. Coupled with out patented Porex filter, the thermal lens adjusts to air pressure and elevation changes while preventing water vapor entry.

5X ANTI-FOG INNER LENS
The most advanced anti-fog lens ever created. Building upon the hydrophilic, micro-etched surface area princi-ples of our Fog-X lenses, our revolutionary, new 5X Anti-Fog inner lens has been engineered to provide over five times the absorptive properties of anything on the market. Initial testing showed standard anti-fog lenses fog-ging between 30-50 seconds. Smith’s proprietary, 5X Anti-Fog material withstood fogging for over 120 seconds in controlled lab tests.

SPHERICAL CARBONIC-X LENS
Smith has set the standard in lens performance. Each one is individually molded to offer optimum scratch and impact resistance, increased visual acuity and enhanced contrast sensitivity. The inner lens is impregnated with our Anti-Fog lens treatments for increased anti-fog performance. The Carbonic-X lens meets Class 1 optical standards as well as ANSI Z80.3 standards. There is simply no better lens.

TAPERED LENS TECHNOLOGY (TLT TOPICS)
“Objects in lens are exactly the same as they appear.” When light passes through a medium it refracts, i.e. changes course. If left uncorrected, this refraction can cause visual distortion and eye fatigue. Smith’s Ta-pered Lens Technology straightens out the incoming light rays by progressively tapering the lens from the opti-cal center toward the peripheral view. What this means for you is that you see with 100% accuracy and maxi-mum comfort.

3-LAYER, DRIWIX FACE FOAM
Increased density in base layer foam reduces hot spots helping form a tighter seal on the face. Mid-layer foam provides a plush comfortable layer, perfectly sealing on the face and absorbing sweat and moisture. Fleece lin-ing is soft against the skin for long-lasting comfort.

ABOUT SMITH: Based in Sun Valley, Idaho, Smith Optics, Inc. was founded in 1965 with the creation of the first goggle featuring a sealed thermal lens and breathable vent foam. Today, Smith is known for its diverse line of sun-glasses, snow and motorsports goggles, snow helmets, prescription eyewear, and ballistic eye protection. Smith’s devotion to authenticity, innovation, performance and style has made Smith the choice of outdoor athletes and enthusiasts worldwide. For more information, check out www.smithoptics.com.

SPRING 2012 – INTRODUCING TOVAR

January, 17 2012, Los Angeles, CA – Tovar epitomizes simplicity and function. Inspired by his travels, Los Angeles based designer and founder Terence Yeung combines style and substance with a man’s suitcase in mind. After gaining experience as the lead designer on several note-worthy clothing brands, Yeung stepped out on his own to create Tovar. Yeung named his brand after a family of courageous explorers in the 1700′s who were nimble in their travels across the Americas. Tovar was designed simply for the modern day explorer. The ideal Tovar man is a jetsetter, a seasoned trailblazer who adapts easily to different terrains and cultures. “I wanted to design practical apparel that can easily be mixed and matched with anyone’s existing wardrobe,” Yeung explains. From super soft striped tees, lightweight woven plaid shirts, to water-resistant outerwear, the Tovar range offers stylish and comfortable garments that can be mixed, matched, and layered in multiple ways. Tovar‘s debut collection will be available for purchase in January 2012, and sold at fine retailers across the United States. Participating retailers include American Rag, Ron Herman, Life Curated, Aloha Sundays, Revolve Clothing, and 80′s Purple.

WINTER 2012/2013
Smith Optics for more than 30 years has been a world leader in the production of ski and snowboard goggles and helmets. The 2012/2013 winter season presents new fantastic products with extraordinary technical features, innovative design and all-round protection. Ski and snowboard fans are well acquainted with the features of SMITH products, dedicated to those who “live” the snow…

NEW SKI & SNOWBOARD HELMETS AND GOGGLES: THE PEAK OF STYLE ON THE SNOW

GAGE
The GAGE helmet is vintage-inspired with a minimal look and has been designed with young people in mind for a super-cool style on the snow. Maximum versatility: the helmet has no internal padding and so it can be worn with a cap when skiing, or in town for safe skateboarding. It has many interesting technical features like the high-strength structure in “Bombshell™” and removable ear pads for different temperature conditions. The helmet also has a ventilation system, based on “AirEvac™” technology to prevent annoying fogging. In addition to the traditional classic colours like matte black and matte gunmetal, the helmet is available in attractive colours such as matte white dark sky, irie mission, storm film, oxblood rip city, black/cyan x.ray, red republic, black migration and white strobe.

I/OX
I/OX allow unparalleled peripheral vision: this the snowboard goggle that provides an incredibly wide field of vision. This model has amazing advanced technical features like the exclusive interchangeable lenses system: with changes in the weather or light, the lens can be replaced quickly by simply flipping up the clips on the front. The Carbonic™ lenses treated with TLT™ (Tapered Lens Technology), ensure distortion-free vision. Fogging is avoided thanks to the “Vaporator™” system, based on double lenses, and to the “Porex™” filter: a tiny hole in one corner of the outer lens that allows air through. The goggles are also fitted with a 5X Anti-fog inner lens system, the best anti-fogging system around, which helps dissipate moisture rapidly so that the mask takes 5 times longer to fog up than all the other standard anti-fog masks on the market. The goggles are available in many striking colours like black, white, cyan, fire, lime, maritime camp evolve, irie cinch, rust kilgore, white film, black/red dark sky, translucent cyan x-ray, impossibly black.

NEW SUNGLASSES THAT WILL NOT GO UNNOTICED

PIVLOCK V2/V2 MAX
The PIVLOCK V2 and V2 MAX techno sunglasses have an extremely aerodynamic shape that is perfect for biking and all outdoor sports activities. These models are in injection-moulded acetate and stand out for their off-centre wraparound carbon lens offering a perfect field of vision. The tops of the arms have a cut-out fork shape for maximum lightness. The glasses are supplied with a set of 3 interchangeable lenses and have a Pivlock™ swap system that releases the arms with a simple rotation, allowing the glasses to be used under different light conditions. A special adaptor can be inserted inside for optical lenses. Another technical innovation this year is the nose pads with three different positions available to ensure the best fit possible. PIVLOCK V2 and PIVLOCK V2 MAX are available in white, black, orange and blue.

Uslu Airlines re-names “target group” for lipsticks

Uslu’s Eleven give a new face to “target group” definition in cosmetics
The ultimate lipstick, what a goal! How about asking 11 guys how such a magic stick should look like, smell like, taste like? After all it’s men, whose looks and -ideally- kisses are to be caught. Right? That’s usually the female plan, at least. With that in mind, uslu airlines redefined the ‘target group’ for lipsticks and gave them dudes the last word in a girly quest. Co-pilot Jan Mihm formed a group of 11 lipstick specialists whose cosmetic background is more than questionable at first sight. Some of them don’t even use shampoo. Soccer players, photographers, gastronomes, galerists, designers, skaters, you name it. Great. Aside from their fondness for the ladies, they all share another quality: all of the 11 live and/or work on Torstrasse in Berlin. That’s why we picked airport code TOR for Torrington/USA as the destination for their colour. The lipstick TOR will be available only in stores/bars/galleries/hotels that are located on Torstrasse in Berlin. Plus at Colette in Paris. (If you run a business on Torstrasse and would like to sell TOR, please send us an email.) If you manage to get TOR directly from one of the Uslu’s Eleven, you might even score. An extra gift, I mean, because every one of the guys has come up with an extra to go with his stick: Please click below for details, pictures and a map where to find TOR.

Cambia la distribuzione in Italia per RVCA

Per effetto dell’avvenuta acquisizione da parte di Billabong International del brand di abbigliamento RVCA, cambia la distribuzione dei prodotti del marchio di Costa Mesa (California) per l’Italia. A partire dal 1° gennaio 2012, infatti, è la Funnel di Calenzano (Firenze) a gestire le vendite ed il marketing per RVCA sul territorio italiano. Funnel è il partner storico di GSM Europe avendone seguito sin dagli esordi lo sviluppo di tutti i brand in portafoglio (Billabong, Element, Von Zipper, DaKine, tra gli altri). La società toscana guidata da Boris Carli affronta il nuovo incarico con grande determinazione. L’obiettivo è quello di dare al brand emergente il supporto necessario per essere apprezzato in ambiti sempre più ampi, senza perdere in credibilità. Una vocazione confermata dalle precedenti esperienze con marchi quali Billabong, Element e tutti gli altri di proprietà di GSM Group. L’attività di Funnel inizierà con il sell-in della collezione Autunno/Inverno 2011-12 e sarà coordinata da Marco Bagnoli nel ruolo di sales manager. Il suo programma è quello di mantenere la selettività dei partner commerciali che è stata alla base della crescita internazionale di RVCA e sviluppare la sua brand-awareness sul territorio italiano attraverso strumenti di marketing quali l’Artist Network Program, gli atleti e gli advocates. Con la consegna dei prodotti della collezione Primavera/Estate 2012, termina l’attività del precedente distributore, cui Funnel indirizza un sentito apprezzamento per la qualità del lavoro svolto sino ad oggi

Air, Rail, Train: tutte le strade portano a Innsbruck

Peetu Piiroinen, Werner Stock, Sebastien Toutant, Seppe Smits, Mark McMorris, Sage Kotsenburg, Roope Tonteri, Nils Arvidsson, Clemens Schattschneider, Tom Klocker, e Torgreir Bergrem sono solo alcuni dei rider che non mancheranno allo storico appuntamento a Innsbruck per il Billabong Air & Style, da anni riconosciuto come il „must be there“ event di tutta la stagione invernale. A farne da contorno il ritorno dello Snow Festival ed il nuovissimo Raiffeisen Club-Partytrain da Vienna a Innsbruck. Innsbruck è la hometown europea dello snowboarding senza pari e anche quest’anno è garantito l’arrivo di giovani folks da tutto il mondo per assistere al Billabong Air & Style dal 3 al 5 Febbraio 2012.
Starting field senza precedenti.
E’ difficile dare un ordine d’importanza ai nomi già confermati nello starting field, a partire dal vincitore della scorsa edizione Mark McMorris (CAN) seguito dal TTR World Champion Peetu Piiroinen (FIN), Seb Toutant (CAN), Seppe Smits (BEL), Sage Kotsenburg (USA) e Roope Tonteri (FIN). L’ospite di casa Werner Stock cercherà di scalare il podio dell’anno scorso mentre i suoi “fellowcountrymen” Tom Klocker, Clemens Schattschneider e Peter König si batteranno per la qualifica al main contest. La colonna sonora sarà 100% di stirpe germanica a partire dal rapper austriaco Sido seguito dai rockers Beatsteaks di Berlino. I due generi musicali contrastanti faranno muovere testa e piedi a tutti i fans che già si stanno preparando al grande evento allo stadio Bergisel. Musica, snowboarding e show ad un prezzo imbattibile: il biglietto costa solo 43€ e molti di noi se lo troveranno sotto l’albero come perfetto regalo di Natale!
Raiffeisen Club-Partytrain da Vienna a Innsbruck: party senza sosta dall’inizio alla fine.
Mentre molti dei nostri rider arriveranno volando da ogni angolo del globo il maggior numero dei fan del Billabong Air & Style lo farà con il treno e li aspetta una festa niente male: il leggendario Partytrain con dj set e vagoni trasformati in mini disco porterà i fan a destinazione in completa sicurezza e nel puro divertimento. Il treno partirà da Vienna alle 6 di mattina e porterà vagonate di musica e party in diverse stazioni (St.Pölten, Linz, Wels, Vöcklabruck e Salzburg); un vero e proprio afterhours per i più appassionati a soli 98€!
Venerdì, sabato e Domenica: lo Snow Festival in Maria-Theresien-Straße nel cuore di Innsbruck
Per tutti quelli desiderosi di rails & party la festa avrà inizio già da venerdì grazie al Burn Fire & Steel Rail al quale seguirà il concerto dei The Heavy e tutto a costo zero!! Lo Snow Festival offre anche attività per gli appassionati di winter sport “non più così giovani” che saranno accompagnati dai propri figli: grazie al supporto di Burton lo Snow Festival darà la possibilità ai più piccoli di provare il loro primo snowboard in tutta sicurezza grazie al Burton Learn to Ride program.
