since 1966.

Vans has been a household name in footwear since before I was born. They are pretty much the originators of the vulcanized sole and have become the “go-to” shoe for nearly all of us at some point of our lives. We just received our first batch of spring classics and they do not disappoint.

First up we have the city pack. The Grey and Red represent Philly while the Brown and Yellow rep San Diego.

Chillfest

Chillfest, not Chilifest, is going down this Saturday at Olympia Resort in Oconomowoc. In addition to the recycled cardboard race (always a crowd pleaser and Warren Miller favorite) there is going to be a pretty heavy hitting slopestyle and big air contest. We’ll be there all day spreading the love with Red Bull and the Empire Collective. Stop by, pound an energy shot, slap some fives and grab some stickers.

As an added bonus, you stand a chance of being in the background of a ‘Nationally known reality show’ as the show will be filming the finale of their monthlong episode on Saturday.

admiral 6pak.

And I’m not talking about a hockey ticket package! We had a few DC Admiral’s show up a few weeks ago and they have been the talk of the town ever since. Just today we received the grey, perforated leather Admiral 6pak. With an ice bottom. I don’t even think I need to tell you that these will go fast.

If you weren’t at the Red Dot last night, you missed out on the celebration of the year thus far. Chances are Keylo is going to be loungin’ all day at his crib watching the Pro Bowl.
