Simone Legno, Italian graphic designer who started the Tokidoki clothing line, has been one busy bee over the last year. His wildly popular japanimation style characters have donned t-shirts for about 5 years now and he has been a big feature at the Vegas Apparel Pool Show and the Mercedes Benz fashion week decorations. His skate decks are so popular, that they tend to become collectors items that don’t even have the honor of hitting the pavement.

Now he’s branching into new territory with a collaboration with New Era for some hats coming out with his new apparel lines. These hats and about 6 more styles are now available for sale at www.shop.tokidoki.it

His next collaboration was to join with Ride Snowboards for a new tokidoki/ Ride line. This all black and pink spread is jam-packed with his mass-printed character style, complete with limited edition Tokidoki bindings, board and boots. Neither the Ride Snowboards site or Tokidoki has spilled the beans on when these will be released, but I’m sure we will start seeing them hit the shelves when the snow starts to drop again.

Oakley is killing right now with their Oakley Frogskins sunglasses. These things are turning into collector’s items and selling out fast. Are frogskins the new iphone? Normally you would pay around $100 for these on the Oakley website, but they are sold out there was well. You can still get them on eBay but they are marked up way over the MSRP. Each month Oakley is introducing a new color to the collection.

Last month we told you about the Yellow Neon, Fire Oakley Frogskins, this month it’s the Rootbeer + Fire combo. These are hot, if you have some or find a killer deal somewhere, let us know.

This year Oakley is releasing a new color for their popular Frogskins glass, each month. This month, Oakley is going with a vibrant matte yellow neon frame with mirrored “fire” lenses. I am heating up just talking about these things. I think it’s partly because my mac heats up so much, but let’s face it, this colorway is pretty hot as well and Oakley is on point with these. If you dig these you better get them fast, because these won’t ever be produced again.

9Grand represents the initial investment which founded the business. Two of the original partners tragically passed while the label began to evolve and despite such obstacles 9Grand continues to pursue the original dream. From the west coast fashion Mecca of Los Angeles 9Grand allows people to express themselves without saying a word.

DVS is bringing back the old school with it’s latest collabo with Ray-Ban. I remember my parents rocking Ray-Bans like it was nobody’s business back in the day and now DVS is crewing up with these guys to add more flavor to the already very premium Luxe label.
