Stüssy go back to their roots this summer as members of the Tribe embark on an epic road trip across California, packed in to a classic Volkswagen Westfalia. Making stops at points in Malibu, Venice, Laguna, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San Francisco, the Stüssy Tribe members linked up with the brands skate team, threw parties on Malibu beach and set up shop in the Volkswagen camper which acted as a pop-up store on the tour. You can take a closer look at what went down over the two weeks in the video below and head over to www.stussy.co.uk for more
Australian skate company Pass~Port have come together with Vans this season on a small collaborative collection consisting of shoes and a limited selection soft goods. In celebrating the release, the pair have also come together on a 7-minute clip featuring a mix of riders from both brands trying out some of the goods.
The collection centres around the classic Old Skool silhouette, which is offered in a dark chocolate brown and a clean off-white “marshmallow” colour way. The shoe maintains all the signature touches that has made it one of the most iconic skate silhouettes of all time, the Jazz stripe, toe and heel panels and the chunky sole unit. Pass~Port have added several premium touches to the staple style, mixing a durable hairy suede and equally as durable heavy canvas on the side panels and tongue, finished with a premium leather stripe branding. The aesthetics are completed with subtle embroidered branding on the tongue and heel, and a white Vans tab on the back of the sole. As you’d expect with every Vans style, functionality is assured with Duracap underlays in high wear areas, a built in, supportive heel counter, enhanced cushioning from Vans ‘Ultracush’ footbeds and signature grippy gum waffle tread.
Be sure to check the clip above filmed on the streets of Melbourne and Sydney, featuring Callum Paul and Nik Stipanovic, along with the rest of the Pass~Port team and Vans riders Jack Kirk, Ryan Wilson, George Kousoulis & Floyd Scott.

Brixton have dropped a brand new set of visual to showcase their latest wears for Fall 2016. Again capturing the collection amongst a laid back Southern Californian back drop, the look book perfectly captures the essence of the brand, highlighting their inspirations from various sub-cultures within music, surf, skateboarding and biking. The collection, as always, is diverse and offers a mix of workwear inspired pieces, to more graphic heavy street wear, all the way down to casual loungewear. Their light jacket and shirting options are what really stand out for me, offering laid back, timeless styles in highly wearable colour palettes and minimal branding. Exactly what I'm after.
Take a look a scroll through the (lengthy) lookbook above and if you like what you see, head over to www.brixton.com for more. The Brixton Fall 2016 release will be landing in all good UK retailers shortly.
