Koston does it again

Just some days ago we told you about the over the top gem Lakoston from Fourstar. When Lakai shows the current line Koston gets his own "Select"-shoe. Just like a lot of the other teamriders. Anyway, the Koston Select is really smooth and nice looking. Not as "Phat" or "Niked" as his old pro shoes. Very basic, not so hi tech. For good and bad.

Modettes only

Volcom is trying really hard to get a grip. They got some bad words for this season snow outer wear. Personly I think some of the jacketts were really good looking while others were crappy and way to expensive. As usual when it comes to Volcom.

The brand new range is called Miss Mod and is really good looking. Amongst others you´ll find some boardies that look both nice and stays functional. What else can we say? That as always the ads and graphics are better than the actual clothes? But then again - what did you expect from Volcom?

Etnies - girls only

This season Etnies continues to focus on their range for girls. And the Easy e is probably one of the best girl sk8 shoes. Ever. Especially the one in black. Can it get any more fresh than this?

Fila drives you crazy - proof!!

On the word wide web we found this - the final proof that crappy brands like Fila actually drives you crazy! The first picture - Britney wears what seems to be a ordinary hoodie. But don´t be misguided by the poor quality of the picture. In the second picture Britney wears the same fila shit but this time she shaves her head. You do the maths....

Bird flue!!

MIA is back with a new video - Bird Flue. She´s on top of things, as always. Good to see that some one adresses this major issue. We wan´t no bird flue. No no.

Lakoston

Eric Koston rules!
But that not really any cool news is it? Since he joined Lakai some months ago he´s more or less totally devoted to the Girl family. Now he´s got his own high street fashion with Fourstars Lakoston. Check this out - Kostons signature key chain. _That´s quality for you and that´s attitude. When we see this - we see something that´s fresh. And that is something we get enough of!

Burton x Paul Smith Collabo gone bad?

Highsnobity says: Burton Mark XIII is an incredible collection, combining style, premium materials and state-of-the-art construction. The idea of the line is to blend mountain inspired technology with contemporary urban fashion and one can for sure say that they more than achieved their goal. Every piece comes with great details and in outstanding quality.

What´s the deal anyway? If you wanna go shredding you don´t need Paul Smith and if you gonna go not-shredding you don´t need Burton (I know you don´t believe me but that´s really the truth). Still the jacket has some nice details. But far more interesting are the iDiom collection for next year. If you´re in Sthlm you should pop over to Item, ask really nice and check out their iDiom lookbook.

Fu Manchu "We Must Obey" (2007)

Fu Manchu is back. After their last and by far worse record "Start the Machine" Fu Manchu has returned to their patened stoned (rather than stoner) rock. This time the sound drips with more Thin Lizzy references than the usual ted Nugent-riffs. For better or worse.

Personally I still hold their California Crossing as maybe not their most fun or inventional album but the best. When Fu Manchu let the focus drop they often tend to be sound too stoned, too smart or just too much. The whole point with Fu Manchu is to be dumb music played too loud. And that´s why their surfer dudes-image works so well.

The first single of the album and probably the best track, “Hung out dry” is as classic Fu Manshu as ever. Slow and rhythmic. Otherwise “We Must Obey” is harder, less poppy and far from the catchy sounds of “Urethane” and “California Crossing”.

All in all it´s a must buy for any fans. Everyone else should start with “Californa Crossing” and work their way backwards in the extensive Fu manchu backcatalogue.

Good looking jackets in colours gone bad

Nikita down 4 good.
And this is not the best colour...

Holden Tulip
Not even this crappy mustard colour can make this jacket look bad. Soo kick ass.

Bonfire Blur
Why don´t they ever make guys jacket look this kool (actually the Blut jacket is avaivable for men as well)?

Why women snowboarding jackets are better looking

1. Not too baggy, still not to dressed or too much "fashion".
2. Girls who snowboard are cooler than girls who don´t.
3. Because brigt colours and patterna make you happy.
4. And bright colours and patterns might help you once you´re stuck way off pist or in the middle of (or under) an avalanche.
5. Usually a bit cheaper...

What time is it?

About time to upgrade to a more technical time shower? The Yeti from the company that brought you Hampus own jacket is here. It shows the time, but also the temperature and altitude and a lot more.

Stay warm in stylee

Since the cold is still holding on and the winter has some more weeks to go it might be time for a new beanie. This beanie from Alife -straight outta NYC- migt be more than you can handle. But yet it looks really good once you´ve attacked the slopes.
