To celebrate 10 years of Moto X mayhem Metal Mulisha have teamed up with action sports footwear veterans Etnies to collaborate on two shoes. The Etnies Chrome in black gold and the Etnies Fader in black white, both featuring Metal Mulisha branded print detail.

Metal Mulisha have been directly involved with Etnies since team rider Brian Deegan co-founded the Metal Mulisha in 1999. Fellow Metal Mulisha members Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg, Todd Potter, Josh Grant, Seth Enslow, Luke Urek, Nixey Danielson and Beau Manley all ride for Etnies so this collaboration seems to make perfect sense. Definitely and easy one for their PR department!! go to etnies.com for more.

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.
