Josh Kalis' 7th signature model the JK7

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 09:05:04 -0700

fan of Super Suede. I love that stuff.

I always look to see what's hot on the streets. I try not to bite any other pro shoes... so most of the ideas are from the designer's heads and mine. We kinda start from a blank shoe then fill in the blanks until it looks just about right.

The next skate technology discovery? I'm not sure, but maybe a way to keep shoes from losing their shape. After you skate a shoe for a couple weeks, you have to tighten them up. It would be tight to never have to tighten them. They can just stand strong and never have to be choked up.

I wanted to find a way to have a clean look as well as some of the DGT™ on my new shoe, so I used DC's Performance Wrap Cup Sole. It seemed like this was a perfect idea. It makes my foot feel closer to the board and gives me a bit more board control.

The North Face-Retail Loop

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 10:36:29 -0800

The North Face brand was established in 1968, in San Francisco, California, when Douglas Tompkins and Kenneth "Hap" Klopp created an equipment retail store that eventually acquired the current name "The North Face". This name was chosen because the north face of a mountain in the northern hemisphere is generally the steepest, coldest, and most difficult face to climb. By the 1980s, skiwear was added to the line of products, and eventually camping equipment was added as well. The North Face is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the VF Corporation.
