5Boro NYC X Stefan Marx ‘Airline Series’

Posted on February 10, 2015 by bythelevel

New York’s 5Boro follow up the success of their popular VHS decks with another solid series, this time teaming up with German artist Stefan Marx on a selection of Airline inspired board graphics.

The 6th board is slightly different. Entitled the ‘JFK’, it has a special illustrated graphic wrap around the plane and features a ‘Big Apple’, pizza slice, NY’s iconic greek coffee cup, snake mascot and Marx’s favourite snack – potato chips or crisps as we call them here in the UK.

All boards are completed with fine details including Marx’s signature eyes in the cockpit windshield, as well as a nice touch on the top of the deck with a special graphic listing the names of all of 5Boro’s pros, ams and immediate crew. A range of special print techniques have been used from 10 colour spot print’s on the JFK to silver foil applications on the Brooklyn Model.

Vans CA Present The Vansguard “True White” Reissue

Posted on January 29, 2015January 31, 2015 by bythelevel

Vans California offer up a super clean adaptation of 3 classic skate silhouettes, as they present the Vansguard ‘True White’ Reissue pack.

The Old Skool CA Low, Sk8-Hi CA and Era CA arrive with a premium cow suede and 10. oz duck canvas construction on the upper, with cotton and polyester blend on the tonal laces. Each shoe sits on top of a stark white midsole and features white accents throughout, with Vansguard Vans labelling and a synthetic leather lining for a plush finish.

With some bad weather to consider in the next few months, there’s obviously going to be some hesitation when deciding on these, but just to reassure you, Vans have treated the shoes with DWR, making them dirt and grime resistant. We didn’t need any more convincing here and its safe to say the Vansguard reissue is definitely one of our favourite releases of the year so far. An all white shoe is essential for any wardrobe, and although its slightly off-white in places, Vans California have done a great job in this release.

The Vans California “True White” Vansguard Reissue pack & Era shoe are available now at selected Vans retailers, and online at vans.co.uk and goodhoodstore.com
