For the founders of Underskatement, their indie film festival wasn’t so much about skateboarding as it was about the art and lifestyles of the skating film directors. Without a strict criteria, the only requisite was that filmmakers be skaters themselves and that films be under 7 minutes long. They kicked off Volume 4 earlier this month in San Francisco. The whole schedule list can be seen here. Tonight marks Underskatement’s Seattle stop at the Central Cinema with showings at 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm.
In their annual collaboration, Stussy, UNDFTD and realmad HECTIC have teamed up on the heels of their three-pack of New Balance MT580s to create their 3 The Hard Way t-shirt. The shirt will be available this Saturday, December 15th at all UNDFTD JP stores in two different colors.
The nippy cold wind and blowing snow will be all but impervious (I imagine) with Futura Laboratories latest Camo Mountain Parka. The full length jacket insures the majority of your body is covered from the elements. Aesthetically speaking, the camo is what it is with a small red Futura tag on the cuff. No word on availability yet.

To celebrate the trials and tribulations of celebrated artist Dondi White, Bodega teamed up with Montana Colors to create a special limited edition can. Designed by Damion Silver and the estate of Dondi White, half of the proceeds from this Bodega exclusive can will support the Dondi White Foundation. Created in 2003, the Dondi White Foundation supports the fight against AIDS through various mediums. Bodega has also set up an upcoming Arechology Rewards exhibition outlining some of Dondi White’s most prolific works.
For the late great “Style Master General” Dondi White, he served as one of the era’s greatest artists with a spray can. His works seen on various MTA trains in New York became well known highlights and were associated with some of the most influential works in graffiti. Complications from AIDS took Dondi White’s life at the tender age of 37. In light of this, the Dondi White Foundation was created in 2003 to fund programs for AIDS/HIV prevention and services for the betterment of those living with this ailment.
For Converse’s 1HUND(RED) campaign, Dondi’s brother Michael and the White family provided imagery from Dondi’s personal journal to create the basis for a design on a Pro Leather oxford shoe. The sneaker will drop alongside an exhibition of Dondi White’s intricate art work which has seen him exhibit in solo shows around the world. The sneaker will be available this month at Bodega with a price of $90. 10% from the wholesale price will be donated to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Geneva, Switzerland).
