Matix clothing launch headphones range

New for holiday 09 Matix clothing announce the launch of there new headphone range. These look super nice and even though the action sports x headphone market has started to get a bit cluttered with a number of brands jumping on the headphone band wagon, we think these look really nice and have a good point of difference.

Matix clothing has been manufacturing quality skate / snowboard clothing for over a decade and with this new category for them it seems they are serious about giving the likes of WESC and Skullcandy a run for their money!

The first run of Matix headphones see’s just one style the Domepiece coming in three colours, black gold, camo and white red print. More to come in 2010…

Tech specs:

Driver: 40mm

Frequency:20-20000khz

Skullcandy agent Roskopp headphones designed by Jim Philips

New from master headphone brand Skullcandy this season are the Jim Philips Skullcandy agent headphones which feature Jim Philips’ iconic Santa Cruz Roskopp art work.

Whilst these headphones are new on the market they have a refreshing feel of nostalogia about them. With the first Skullcandy x Santa Cruz collaboration featuring the ever popular “screeming hand” Santa Cruz graphic, this second offering seems to round things off nicely.

Vans Era LX

The Vans Era shoe was the first shoe in the Vans range to feature the off the wall logo way back in the days of pool skating and fish tail boards. The Vans Era is an update of the “Authentic” featuring a padded collar, outside heel and the Vans classic waffle sole.

The Vans Era was made legendary in the world of skate shoes by Tony Alva and the Dogtown crew, subsiquently becoming skateboarding’s first shoe back in 1976. Over 30 years on and the Era is still an iconic shoe and this LX version of the shoe adds some new depth. Cool multi coloured red, yellow and blue colour blocking mixed with different material applications really set this Vans shoe appart from all its Era brothers.

Supra Chad Muska Skytop high tops

Back to work with the blues after a scoarching back holiday? Well, here’s something to cheer you up, the new Supra skytop high top trainers from Supra footwear. These skytops feature some really nice material application utilizing the ever glamorous faux croc in black coupled with a luxurious black suede. Not an outrageous colourway for a Supra skytop or for supra that matter. however, the back to basics black upper with white vulcanized outsole caught our eye.

This skytop some how sparkled at us from the sea of colour in the rest of the supra line for this season. Maybe it’s that with all the colour around at the moment what made us sit up and take notice was this trainers modest simplicity and subtle detail. Or, maybe it was something else…. either way well done Supra footwear on yet another banging skytop colourway!

available to buy now at route one: Supra skytop black / croc suede

We have arrived at this decision mutually and believe it will ultimately create a better situation for all parties involved. We thank Eric for his contributions to Lakai over the last three years and wish him well wherever his path may lead.”
