Profile must be misplacing a ton of stuff lately. First the Mark Mulville video that dropped the other day, and now these fresh hoodies! Made from American Apparel Grey blank with the red Profile logo print, these are available in sizes small through XL. As a side note, aim a little bigger since these run a little small. These should be hitting the Profile web store and available through any shop or mail-order that carries Profile soon.

Felt Fuse Bike Test

Felt Fuse Video Bike Test – More BMX Videos

Josh Betley and Dan Quinn spend some time abusing one of Felt‘s mid-level complete bikes to see what it can hold up to. I’m not all too surprised by the results since completes these days come waaaaay more dialed than back in the day.

This dude is smooth as butter.

Product: Vans iPhone Case

It’s not too often that I’m able to talk about iPhone products on here… Which is slightly surprising since, well, everyone and their mother has one these days. Even I, who had the ghetto-est phone for the longest time, joined the club. Yesterday I broke my case on my phone. I happened to be looking around for a new case online tonight when the Vans iPhone case popped up on my Facebook feed courtesy of Chris Moeller. I had previously seen a photo of the case, but it was before I had an iPhone so it really didn’t apply to me so I guess I didn’t pay any attention to it. However, looking at it now I’ve discovered that this thing is rad as hell and, as of right now, super limited.

Looking at the case, it has the classic waffle sole with the Vans tag logo and a navy blue stripe around the outside. The details look clean and being as big of a fan of shoes as I’ve become the last few years, I’m loving this.

The price of the case runs for $28.00 on the Vans Webstore, but that’s where the good news ends. Like I stated earlier, these were made in a limited production. From what I’ve read on Offthewallsite.net, these weren’t even supposed to go into production and then they ended up making a limited run of them. After word caught on about them, they sold out faster than a bunch of girls buying Justin Bieber concert tickets. There has been word that more will be available in February, but it didn’t sound like that was a guarantee.

Unless you get extremely lucky and happen to find one at a Vans store, your best chance of getting one is on eBay, where the cases are going for over $100. No surprise there.

All I know is that I really hope Vans gets a fresh batch of these made since I’m on the list of people who want one.
You can find out more information and photos for the case on Offthewallsite.net.
