Melodica - straight outta Finland

Everyones new favourite skateboard company. Melodica is out of Finland. Somehow the company seems to still be something of a secret. On the site you´ll find a nice video as well. All about skateboarding, no "glamour", "bling" or "punk". Like the stickers on the first Anti Cimex record says: "just pure hard core the way it was meant to be played".

DVS Luxe

Dvs are updating the styles and are soon releasing the latest line - Dvs Luxe.

The line consists of some shoes and some apparel (one jacket, some tees and a really nice looking knitted sweater). It´s good to see that even "not so hip" brands as Dvs are kept up to date.

Keep footwear

Keep footwear has been out there for a while. Producing high quality shoes for women only. Now it seems as if they might really break.

100% cotton canvas, natural gum rubber and overall a focus on environment and on society. As it is stated on the web site:

"All Keep footwear is produced in Brazil. We chose our factory based on their dedication to high standards for quality as well as for their labor and environmental policies. "

The shoes are really good looking, and seems to be comfy. The only problem is that they are actually quite hard to get. You can find them at Livestock (the pic is stolen from this ultra cool canadian shop. Sorry...) and directly from Keep footwear.
