Big Props To Estate LA
Major props go out to Carlos, Brett and the rest of the stand up guys that make up the Estate LA fam. Today, Sunday August 31st, Estate released the very much talked about “Watermelon” tearaway fitted hat. For those who dont already know this hat is designed with 2 different layers to it. The top layer displays the outer layer of a watermelon while some careful cutting of the panels reveals another layer underneath which shows the inners of a watermelon. Only 24 of these hats were released and as you can imagine they are already sold out. Thanks to Brett, Carlos and the rest of the Estate LA crew i managed to snatch myself up 1 of those 24 hats made available. This will be one of the greatest additions to my on going fitted hat collection. Thanks once again Estate, the world needs more stand up guys like you. If you havent already caught a glimpse of the hat on many of the other blogs check out a few more shots after the jump.

Nike Air Max 1 “Signature Collection” Customs
Intrxn presents a new pair of custom Nike Air Max 1 shoes which are part of his “Signature Collection”. The ‘Signature Collection’ will be a series of sneakers which are made using infulences from outside resources. Months were spent working of the design of the shoes and trying to get all the curves just right. Instead of altering the color base completely on the sneakers Intrxn decided to attack the design of the sneaker as well, leaving majority of the base colorway intact. Pages of journal paper and an array of architects flimsy were used tweaking each part of the shoe along the process to give it a different look that still keeps it simple. Usually we are use to seeing custom sneakers from Intrxn which are designed after certain themes, such as the Soka University Nike Dunks and the Transformers Nike Dunks, so to see something like this from him adds a nice diverse style to his abilities. Included with the sneakers is a nice custom box as well which is made out of White Oak and Poplar. The wood is finished with a satin coat and the rear is a sheet of aluminum while the front is plexiglass. The lid opens along the dovetail joint and Intrxn is cut out into the top. Check out more pictures of the newly designed Air Max 1 by Intrxn as well as the custom box he made.
