The brand, Idiom, has been a snowboarding apparel label that we have always followed here at HYPEBEAST due to its ties with the trend setter Hiroshi Fujiwara. This year, Idiom used a lot of red along with plaid patterns. To be honest, we thought this year’s collection was only so-so compared to the monotone collection from 06/07. Recently, HF posted some pictures on his blog where he is shown wearing a jacket from next year’s Idiom 08/09 collection. It looks like there will be a lot of green from the upcoming collection. Unfortunately not much information has been released but usually some Idiom retailer will release the pictures so hopefully we’ll see some of the catalog scans soon.

Although largely ignored, the southern hemisphere has become somewhat of an unknown playground for Burton team riders for the past 10 years. A new photo book documenting their exploits has been produced as photographers Dean “Blotto” Gray, Jeff Curtes and Adam Moran followed some marquee Burton riders such as Terje Haakonsen, Hannah Teter, Nicolas Muller, and Shaun White. Some of the locations include New Zealand and Chile. Ordering the book and more information can be found here.

Based on some of Burton’s old retro styles, they developed the Archive Series. Old models such as their Racing Gloves (1988), Safari Sweatshirt (1989), Freestyle Shell (1990), Freestyle Pant (1991), Freestyle Suit (1991) and Glacier Jacket (1992) were all revived. Although the aesthetics are very much old school, the designs have been upgraded with the latest tech advances to keep things modern.
