The Nike 6.0 Buzz Aldrin Rocket Hero Mavrk Mid 2. To infinity an beyond! Available at select retailers January 1st.

The Mavrk Mid 2 is constructed with a cold-wrap process, which allows the reduction of material in the outsole for a significantly lighter shoe while reducing the use of harmful solvents. The insertion of a true mid-sole offers increased impact absorption while integrated Nike Free inspired flex-grooves on the outsole allow for torsional flex and board-feel for true lightweight performance. A stitchless toe creates a clean finish and amplifies durability.

The print above is called Optimist Club/Midwestern Can Snake and is available in an edition of 75 for $40– 15% of the gross proceeds of this print goes right to Transportation Alternatives.

Woolly Mammoth - Extinct Edition .jpeg

Remember those Lumadessa cards prints I found a few months ago? They just launched three new sets. More from the Flora Fauna Birds Edition, a Winter Edition, and my favorite– the Extinct Edition. Who loves Dodo Birds, Great Auk’s, Saber-Tooth Tigers and a Woolly Mammoth, like the one shown here? Me me me.

Damien Hirst and Supreme are back together again. I love this version of the artist skate deck collaboration at least twice as much as the last work they did together. I had one of those boards for a little bit but it never stuck in my collection.

These ones probably will, big fan of them.

The collection releases in-store in the US on November 19th and online on November 23rd. Japan will see a release on November 21st.

Our friend Russ Mills has a new batch of prints ready to release to the masses. Since his entire stock sold out in less than a day last time I made him promise to give us a heads up this time. And, he delivered. The prints will go on sale at exactly 2pm GST tomorrow (8am EST). The prints are still priced at £25 and they look amazing as ever. Have a peek at the prints here, then go back and buy tomorrow. Be quick, they never last long.

Dustin Cantrell’s handmade Plasma Dunnys (as seen here on JS last February) sent a ripple through the art toy community–and beyond. First appearing on custoMONDAYs (a series of 20 emerging toy artists curated by yours truly), Dustin’s Dunny quickly attracted attention from Gizmodo to Kanye. Everybody wanted one, but only 4 existed, and they sold out fast. Enter Kidrobot, makers of the Dunny toy. They tapped Dustin to create 3 more Plasma Dunnys in metallic gold with wood bases. The Dunnys are currently on display in Kidrobot’s New York store and for sale at $600 each in the custom art section of Kidrobot’s website. This puts Dustin in the same category previously occupied by Tara McPherson’s sculptures. Congratulations to Dustin, and let this be an inspirational story for those who tweak their toys worldwide!

Update: They sold out in less than 24 hours. At $600 each. By an unknown/emerging artist. What recession?
