Gonz Superskate Vulcanized Slip-On Shoes

Gonz Shoes

I need to get a pair of these new Adidas Superskate shoes by Mark Gonzales. They’ve had the superskate out for awhile but these are really nice. Black banding along the sole, green stripes, and a white canvas show off Gonz’s art and signature.

You can pick em up here.

Jordan Pack

Feeling these Jordan inspired Nike Dunk series that just dropped. Had to go out and cop a pair before they all disappeared. Each design emulates an original shoe from the Jordan series. I got my hands on the black Jordan IV Dunk.

The North Face x Supreme

I don’t usually fall for collaborations, but this one is incredible. Mix one of the most respected outerwear companies with one of the most respected streetwear companies and you have The North Face x Supreme Summit Series jacket. Comes in two fresh colorways and peep the inner lining; the cheetah print is already huge in Japan so look for it on almost every t-shirt, hoodie, and sneaker this spring. Be the first to rock it. Jacket drops March 2nd exclusively at all Supreme shops worldwide.

Weekly Drop is a podcast giving you the latest from the sneaker and streetwear scene. Hosted by industry gurus Jeff Carvalho, Rob Heppler, and Frank the Butcher, this show also serves up some great interviews with the likes of Dave White, Mr. Cartoon, Jeff Staple, Stash, Dave Ortiz, and David Gensler. They don’t update as much as I’d like, but it’s always a great morning when the updating icon pops up next to Weekly Drop in the iTunes playlist.
