shoes on seshn

Vans has a great new line of super cozy surf-inspired footwear to keep your feet happy. I have been super into Vans for ages now and I can honestly say that this line is one of my favorites. These shoes are all very lightweight, durable, well-constructed, organic and awesome looking.
From left to right:
Lo Crepe - $60
Rata - $45
Lo Crepe - $60
Make sure you go to vans.com and order a pair soon. In the meantime, stoke on this gallery of the line:

Vans sent us some dope new shoes from the Vault Collection. These are the Mt. Edition Herring Bones. They feature a lower velcro strap, custom herring bones all-over print and did I mention these things are as snug as snug gets? Definitely some fresh flavor that Vans is pumping out with their new vault line.
These go for about $80 and you can find them at some of the following finer high-end retailers: HUF, Blends, Moda3, Untitled, Union, Base and more. For more info check out vans.com

The fine people over at Tom’s just sent us some chick shoes for us to check out, and the Seshn girlies are loving them! From what they are telling us, they are about the most comfortable pairs of shoes they have ever worn — and we are not just saying that. The girls say they really are!
Tom’s shoes are so ridiculously simple, it’s no wonder they are so cozy. They feature a lightweight canvas upper and a soft leather insole that hug the contour of your foot. But the best part about Tom’s is that they give away a pair of shoes for every pair that’s purchased, to starving kids all around the world.
Make sure you check their website out at TOMSshoes.com
We had our in-house photog, Courtney Winnie snap these beautiful shots below of some of the shoes Tom’s sent us:

Nike just released the new P Rod 2 which comes in black/lava/white. Paul Rodriguez must be pretty stoked on life right now because these are some ill looking kicks. Oh wait, P Rod is stoked on life because he pulls all kinds of chicks and has deep pockets. Well regardless, thanks for the shoes. These are already popping up in shops all over.
 

Pop art diva Niagara, has teamed up with Vans for a fresh new collabo featuring Niagara’s stunning ladies. The June ‘08 issue of Juxtapoz, features an interview with Niagara, so go run down to your local Barnes & Noble and pick it up. It’s a good read.

Eddie Wall’s career as a professional snowboarder stems from his beliefs in hard work and sacrifice. He began his dream as a pro snowboarder by standing on his sled in his backyard in Pennsylvania, two hours from what he like to describe as “the smallest hill imaginable.”
Seshn: Yo Eddie, what have you been up to?
Eddie Wall: Filming filming filming, just trying to get a lot of stuff done for the new forum movie dropping this sept! FORUM OR AGAINST EM.
Seshn: What do you think of all this global warming bullshit with these massive pow dumps we have seen over the last few weeks? Is it legit or just another government hoax?
Eddie Wall: Whether its true or not, keeping less fumes in the air and cars off the road is good. Keeping everything we do super environmental is the best trend we can get into anyways. No matter whats happening its cool to see people trying to do shit about it, whether it has to do with global warming or not.
Seshn: Who are your sponsors these days?
Eddie Wall: forum, foursquare, dc, smith, vestal, mammoth, jacks.

Seshn: How supportive is a company like DC and do you feel like the support they have for their riders has been a big part in their success?
Eddie Wall: DC is the shit!! They back their team so damn hard! its insane. They really give a lot of credit to the team for their success. They are basically the best company in the industry in my eyes, them, forum, and burton are the dopest. Ken Block is the man.

Seshn:What was your best memory of 2007 and why does it stand out above the rest?
Eddie Wall: Filming in NZ with the DC team for the new video, with ken block’s rally car, it was long days of filming, and scary shit, but the outcome was rediculous. some of the best footy i have ever been in for sure.
Seshn: What are your plans for 2008?
Eddie Wall: x games and film for FORUM OR AGAINST EM the new forum video.
Seshn: Who are your favorite homeys to ride with and why?
Eddie Wall: pat moore, bell, kennedy, welch, basically the whole forum and dc teams. and when i am skating its with Tony Tave, Denis Durant, Josh, Abdias Rivera, Ice, Windsor (all the Circa homies)
Seshn: Where are you calling home right now and what’s the scene like?
Eddie Wall: I have a house in mammoth and in san clemente california. I travel the entire year, so I am only home in mammoth a week or so… so I don’t know the scene there. In san clemente the scene is dope,,, hang with all the Circa homies, DC Forum and all sponsors are down there, and my girl lives there too . i like it there
Seshn: If you could pick one favorite photog who would it be and why?
Eddie Wall: Ian Rueter has helped me out the most, gotten me like 4 covers,,, and interviews…
