A Disposable Art Show - Freedom Fighter
Also if you are in the Toronto area check out 'A Disposable Art Show' at the Baitshop (358 Dufferin St. Suite 117). The space was voted one of the best new galleries in Toronto last year and it is clear as day as to why.

Vans Rowley Shambles Hi Eco Pack
Nike Presents Onward - James Jarvis x Richard Kenworthy
Onwards from LAM on Vimeo.
“I had become interested in the idea of characters that were less referential and more iconic and abstract. I particularly wanted to do something with a potato-headed stick-man that I had been drawing at that time.
The film was inspired by certain personal experiences in running – a favourite run over Blanchland moor in Northumberland, being attacked by a crow in Singapore – and also by the transcendent, almost psychedelic experience of the simple act of running.
Rather than a marketing project inititated by Nike, the film was something proposed and produced by myself, and as such I hope represents a much more equal collaboration with a brand.”

Ransom x Adidas Closer Look
Inqmnd posted these pictures of the Ransom x Adidas shoe. Looks like a complete new silhouette. Inqmnd is reporting that "Adidas has taken the collaboration game to the next level. They’ve actually allowed select retailers to design their own signature Adidas model, as opposed to the typical collab method of just customizing an existing model".

Nike SB Dunk Premium - Sky/Pink
It has been a while since I have seen a pair of dunks that I have really liked, probably since the Concept x Nike Lobsters Dunks. Anyways I saw these gems today. Good news, they reinstalled my love for the dunk. Bad news they are only available in South Korea. Hopefully when the are released State side we get them in a mid.

30 x 30
“30 Customs By 30 Artists: An Auction to benefit the Children of Cambodia is the first step in trying to help the children that have impacted my life,” writes Kidrobot’s Baroness Nichole. “After traveling to Cambodia last year I fell in love with the people of that country. Everyday I think about the amazing children I met and how I could help them.
"Most of these children lack the necessities of food, clothing, shoes, and transportation. Many can't even afford the pencils and notebooks they need to attend school. So instead of attending class they sell trinkets at the temples in order to survive.
"I have reached out to 30 of my friends and asked them to create a custom toy specifically for this auction. Every cent from the sale of these customs will go directly to help the children I have met in Cambodia. With the help of people that I have met in Cambodia, I will be delivering clothing, shoes, books, paper, pens, and bicycles to children of Siem Reap villages. It has been a passion and a dream of mine to use art as a way of helping children and communities all over the World, and I am excited about this first step.
"Starting Friday, April 17th, I will be auctioning off one-of-a-kind custom works on eBay under the seller name 'BaronessLoves'. Seach for '30 x 30' to bid on original pieces from: 123KLAN, Alex Pardee, Andrew Bell, Beast Brothers, Brian Morris, DEPH, DEVILROBOTS, FILTH, Gary Baseman, ILoveDust, Jime Litwalk, Joe Capobianco, Joe Ledbetter, Jon Burgerman, MAD, Maze23 Brooklyn, Mori Chack, Nathan Jurevicius, Pon, SEEN, Shawnimals, Sket One, SourBones, TADO, Tara McPherson, TILT, Tim Biskup, Triclops Studios, Urban Medium, and Christian Jacobs of YoGabbaGabba!
"I am very excited about this opportunity to help people that have impacted me so much. I hope that you find a custom you love and bid! If you are interested in helping in any way I am not only looking for monetary donations- If you can provide clothing, notebooks, papers, or pens that would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to email me at toybaroness@gmail.com. Also, if you are interested in directly donating to a non-profit for Cambodian Children, please check out The Cambodian Children’s Fund."

Nike RT1 High
The color palettes thus far for the RT1's have been pretty bland but think of the potential. If I was a Nike I.D. Studios this is what I would want to customize. I mean you could buy 10 pairs of these or a pair of Yeezy's off eBay.

The Vans Custom Shoe Shop launched last week allowing you to select from three pairs of kicks: the Era, the Slip-On and Old Skool. The shop allows you to customize ever aspect of the shoe from eyelits to laces. The shoes will run you $60-$70 and I am sure it will be hard to cop just one pair.

William Spencer "Hollarado!"
I'll be the first to admit I can't skate worth crap. And when I see someone like William Spencer, 5'10" 137 pounds, do a running backflip down stairs...well I have no words to describe the feeling...or words to describe what he does. All I know is he has probably never lost a game of SKATE.
To put into perspective, Spencer (25) earned a six-page spread in Thrasher magazine for a running frontflip down 10 concrete stairs at Denver's Civic Center, landed on his skateboard and rod away. The 'trick' was featured in The Denver Shop's (Brothers Board) video "Hollarado!". And as a result Spencer is now a stunt double/actor. He has performed in commercials for Mountain Dew (directed by Forest Whitaker) and rumor has it a stunt double for Orlando Bloom in a Shiseido Uno hair gel ad. MTV even filmed a television plot around his life.
Check out the article from the Denver Post from earlier this year. Well worth the read.
