- remind me once in a while there comes along a music video that leaves you staring at the screen with your mouth wide open. we're not talking hollywood-style filmed entertainment or big-budget-movie-star-cameos here. we're talking about animation. four long minutes of it. ok, it might be a matter of taste whether you like information graphics in general, but if you have the only slightest idea of how much time it takes to make something like this look good and perfect you'll definetly have to give this video the props it deserves. too bad we don't know who's responsible for it - if you do, let us know. those people need to get their names mentioned! some stills | stream this |

york - car crash series only highly skilled motorists are able to take a car and crash it as beautifully as those featured on the new ltd. edition decks by zoo york - by the way: aren't skateboards always ltd. edition? what is weird though, is the fact that all four cars seem to have the same sort of damage. this is either true mastery - as we suspect - or someone really needs a few more hours drivers ed. question is: will zoo york be able to make up for the damage through the sales of these decks or are they just burning money? inspect: cars | more info: here |

| 23 | | graphics | faesthetic
· upso · nonconceptual those past few days we were trying to figure out how to put this all together: ok, there is faesthetic - a magazine/booklet featuring artwork by dedass, graphic havoc, andy mueller, don pendelton, and upso to name but a few. upso who is the publisher of faesthetic is friends with nago of nonconceptual. together with mooney nago produces tons of design, some of which you might have already seen around. and how does the new hessenmob deck for the "a new kind of meaning" series come into play? and why does it feature at-ats, nike prestos, and machine guns... try getting some sense out of it yourself... sense this: pop-up and site A plus B | or this: popup and site C -- | kicks | nike footscape update more summer sneakers from nike who are now playing around with canvas. after canvas air force is, etc. they just released two new colors of the air footscape. since this model is one of our favorites (even though it looks better on a shelf than it does on your feet) we'll share with you two images. as with the new presto wovens we showed you earlier, this is the least we can do, since this edition is, again, available at places most of us won't be able to go to in the nearest future. enjoy these |

woven update basically this is for those among you who were not able to get their hands on the ltd htm woven desert boots. if the following is true for you follow the link and you'll enjoy great pleasures: 1) 'woven' is still part of your sneaker vocabulary 2) numbers like 1500 don't mean anything to you or 3) 1500 does mean something to you but there is no other way, and 4) you convert all your money directly into sneakers, no matter what... if there is no correspondance with these 4 points whatsoever, you might want to consider the two exclusive colors of the air zoom haven - they too are only a few clicks away. what we're talking about | where to get it: I & II -- | art | kaws & james jarvis for the record: if you managed to get around this piece of info until now - here it is for the last time: kaws is just about to release his newest book project - 'kawsc10'. there's a couple of different ones which you should buy, not open and store for the rest of your life. so you'll never even get to know whether the pages inside are blank or not... james jarvis just updated his website. or should we say his giant animated gif. even though there's not too much text, you'll get the info through a wide selection of james' drawings that he features on the site. and, of course, if you need to contact him - the info is right there. no 'skip intro' or 'loading 456743 KB...' bull on this site! kaws: packaging & info | jarvis: see & go! |

| 10 | | kicks | presto
woven update even though the all white air force i has been our favourite for a while, we are ready for a few colors just about now. not too many on one model, though (except for anything rainbow...). since we first told you about the presto woven, many colors have passed that didn't make our shortlist. nevertheless nike just released three colors in japan - one for the ladies, two for the gents - that seem right to us. since you know the model we'll give you close-ups for a better color-check. where to get them? good question. pictures here |

| 07 | | graphics i | phunk
studio our last report on phunk studio brought you news on their transmission02:utopia book project. if you got all interested in their work and need to know more - we'll link you to an interview plus samples of their work. so much on the info side - we know you'd be more than willing to spend some money, too. then watch out for phunk studio's old school skateboard design - available very soon. by the way, those phunksters do like their sneakers!: see: samples | interview and more work here | phunkstudio go! -- | graphics ii| streetwise one traveling to the us just to see your favorite (street?) artists is out of the question for most of us. we'd rather spend that money on a pair of stussy dunks. so now, with this exhibit in london, you could go plus maybe still pick up a pair of waffle racers on the way. streetwise one is not all about the us, though. a few european kids are featured as well - check the website for a complete list of artists and updates on the forthcoming book. sneak peek | streetwise one website |
