The black suede Munition CT Mid is the first installment of a two-part shoe series collaboration between long time DVS rider Chico Brenes and LRG. Designers looked to the early years of Chico's career for inspiration on it's look and feel.

The footbed print is borrowed from Chico's first World Industries pro model graphic, Orange Vendor, introduced in 1992 by artist Mark Mckee. The graphic features a tiny cartoon Paisa wearing a red flannel and selling oranges out of a box. This character is a direct reference to Chico's heritage as a Nicaraguan immigrant. The same flannel pattern used on the graphic is mimicked in both print and texture on the collar of the shoe. The shoe also features custom Chico and LRG branding on the tongue and heel.

To compliment the line, designers also produced signature apparel pieces that tie into the color and graphic themes of the shoes. The Chico x LRG apparel collection includes a textured red flannel New Era, a signature red flannel long sleeve, and graphic T-shirts that feature the same Mark McKee Paisa character found in the footbed of the shoe.

Although this Boston-bred band was around for only a short time in the late 80's and early 90's, the Pixies melodic punk and surf-rock sounds inspired bands such as Nirvana, who in turn influenced a generation of musicians. The band reunited in 2004, and rumors still fly today about the band's future. Vans' Pixies release salutes the band with artwork from their 1997 best-of compilation album Death to the Pixies. The artwork, depicting a nude frontman Black Francis giving a thumbs down salute, was originally seen on the band's first posters and t-shirts. Available now from the Zappos Rideshop in the Classic Slip-On as well as the SK8-Hi.

Spy is gearing up for their 7th annual Boot Camp that will get you out of THERE (refer to above image), and into So Cal for a solid week to bro down and ride with some of Spy's top action sports athletes. Seven Grand Prize winners will win a six-day, five-night all-expense paid trip to San Diego to surf, wakeboard, and ride with Spy’s elite professional athletes, including seven-time Supercross champion Jeremy McGrath.

Too good to be true? Just wait, it gets better. After you and Jeremy and the rest of the Spy team become homies, Spy will hook you up with VIP treatment at this summer's X Games 15 in Los Angeles.

This could turn out to be the best summer of your life.. get on it!

If the saying you are what you eat is really true (or somewhat true?), can that same analogy be applied to a Sports Illustrated cover model's signature bikini-if you wear her suit you'll look like her? Her being Bar Refaeli and the bikini being Refaeli's collaborative efforts with Hurley and Boarding For Breast Cancer (B4BC) to produce a limited edition piece that is not only the perfect little bikini, but also helps support a good cause. What could be better? (other than being Bar Refaeli herself)

Refaeli's experience in swim suit modeling gave her an upper hand in designing her perfect little bikini, and with Hurleys expertise and successful background in swimwear, this was pretty much a match made in heaven. Now add some B4BC love in here, and you'll be even more stoked to know that you're supporting a good cause and rad organization, since part of the proceeds from the suit are donated to B4BC.

The collaboration suit is only being sold in a select number of boutiques throughout the US, but if you're lucky enough you can snag one from our Rideshop before some other hot chicky picks it up. It's ok to be that girl at the beach this time, because if you're not, you'll be wishing you were.

Boarding For Breast Cancer is a non profit organization that is rooted in the action sports industry and works to create awareness and educate younger women about breast cancer through early detection and active lifestyles. For more info. on B4BC or any of their upcoming events, check them out at www.b4bc.org.

Jeremy "Twitch" Stenberg is the king of step-up and one of the most naturally talented freestyle moto-x riders of today. He makes the most technical moves look smooth and easy, despite the fact that he was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome at age five. His first shoe with Etnies (The Twitch) was off the chain, so he has come up with an update that will most definitely keep the moto heads hyped, the Twitch 2!! Obviously designed by Twitch, this shoe features a padded tongue and collar with a hidden stash pocket. And it wouldn't be an Etnies shoe without splashing in some tech features that include an STI Foam level 2 cushioning footbed and a 400 NBS rubber outsole with an internal EVA midsole. Get your Twitch 2 on from the Zappos Rideshop !!
