Brigada 2008 Summer Eyewear

Brigada 2008 Summer Eyewear

The idea of Brigada eyewear was first conceived in early 2006 by Jim Greco, Andrew Reynolds, Terry Kennedy and Erik Ellington. Since there were no skater owned and operated sunglass brands the four got together. They came up with the name Brigada, sketched up a logo and gathered up all the ideas for shades they would like to see made. Before they knew it they had something real and people were starting to take notice. Fast forward to 2008 and Brigada eyewear is set to launch their debut collection. Consisting of nine different styles, including pro models for each of the four skaters. The glasses all feature spring fit hinges, 100% UV protection, and a hand-polished finish. Available Summer 2008 at select skate shops worldwide.

Freshjive 2008 Spring Tees

Freshjive 2008 Spring Tees

“Things turn gray” is the slogan for the following Freshjive t-shirts for Spring ‘08. While other brands are putting out brightly colored one-tones, Fresh Jive is putting out slightly more pessimistic and low-key images and colors. The “Lords of Los Angeles” Tees seem to refer to a “Warriors” type theme and the old style gangs concept we saw during winter. If you look carefully there is also a “Raiders-esque” logo on the sleeve, the favoured logo of LA OG’s. Themes overall are of rebellion and deliquency; vintage bike racing, punk collages and axe diplomacy. See more after the jump.

Kobe Bryant Jumps over Aston Martin wearing Nike Hyperdunks

As previously shown, Nike unveiled their new shoe for the Beijing Olympics, the Hyperdunk, which will be worn by Kobe and his USA teammates. A video has surfaced showing exactly how efficient these new shoes might become. It looks like Kobe is joined by fellow Laker Ronny Turiaf in a scene where Kobe attempts to jump over an Aston Martin while wearing the Hyperdunk. Whether this is actually Kobe or a stunt double remains to be seen, but from the looks of it these sneakers can definitely take off.
