For their next “Artist Project Series†sneaker DC chose to work with legendary skateboarder Natas Kaupas. Kaupas who began his career in 1984 was the first skateboarder to integrate handrails into street-skating and also developed his own move called the “Natas Spin.†Besides being famous for his skateboarding skills, Kaupas also has artistic background as evident from the design on the uppers of these kicks. They will retail for $100 so check for them in stores soon.

Japanese brand, GDC have lined up alongside watchmakers Casio to design their very own DW-5600 watch. The watch features a black face and band. The LCD face is inversed and as a result, numbers are viewed as white on black background. The band features GDC branding as well as the saying “a rolling stone gathers no moss”. Only 1000 of these watches will go on sale accompanied with a special graphic box.
