Under The Palms – “Play Ball” Capsule Collection (Pre-order Now Live!)

IMG_2547

Paying homage to America’s favorite pastime, we’ve created our very first capsule collection, featuring our very own Billy Bulldog, representing our youth as he does best. It’s an idea we’ve been trying to create forever, and my brother Dennis Padua (Lazywork), and I have finally turned it into a reality. We took our time, making sure we weren’t going to half ass this collection. In fact, I think we’ve over-delivered for y’all. We’ve got two different tees for you, a snapback, a custom UTP enamel pin (our first!), and to top it off, a custom Topps official baseball card of Billy Bulldog! Not to mention, we went with the #1 t-shirt blank in the game right now, made right here in Los Angeles. We came correct with the clear cut vision, the purpose, and an uncompromising mindset, and we hope it showed up in our finished product.

First off, for those of you who are diehard LA fans, we’ve created the “I Love LA” Pack, which will come with the HOME tee, snapback, enamel pin, baseball card, and an exclusive UTP Sticker-Pak made for this collection (while supplies last). This was how we envisioned most would want to order, so here you go. Click on the pic above to purchase!

Here is the home tee in black. This version reps our HOME team, the boys in blue. A powerful Billy Bulldog graphic covers the back, while a logo inspired by those of us who love to collect, is displayed on the front chest. Details about the tee can be found on the web store.

The second is the away tee in navy. This design is for those of you who aren’t fans of our HOME team! Inspired by one of the most iconic players of the 90’s era that we grew up in. The same powerful Billy Bulldog graphic covers the back, but pay attention to the minor differences in this AWAY version, like the signature backwards hat, and the modern-era shades, as well as the updated outfit colors.

For the debut of our UTP script snapback, we went with an all black version, featuring a royal blue script, white outline, and a kelly green underbrim to keep it OG. To top it off, we’ve also created a custom 1″ enamel pin that will come with each hat. We’re suckers for nostalgia, and sure you’ve seen everybody make their version of the beloved 80’s era script snapback, but I don’t think many have gone as far as to try and replicate the true original versions like we have. We grew up in this era, and we know our shit. Don’t play with us son!

We’ve also created a custom official Topps baseball card of our very own Billy Bulldog, encased in a magnetic 35pt card protector, and hand numbered 1-100. Each t-shirt or hat preorder will get one of these as a thank you gift for supporting us, but they are also available to purchase by themselves.

We hope you appreciate the extra love and attention we’ve put into this collection to make it a home run!

All details for each product are available on the webstore, and all Pre-orders are now LIVE.

Vans x Funko – Steve Van Doren Pop! (Gift With Purchase of NASA Collection?)

pics via Newtoynews:

It appears that the cat is out of the bag on this one.  As part of this Friday’s NASA “Space Voyager” collection, Vans and Funko teamed up to create this absolutely amazing Funko Pop! of Steve Van Doren.  This has got to be one of the coolest things that I have got to get my hands on this year!  Steve is all dressed up on a space suit, throwing up a shaka, while in his checkerboard slip-ons.  There’s also another rendition, that I believe is rumored to be a Pac Sun exclusive, or somewhere else, but who knows.  All I know is I need a few of these, so please help a brotha’ out!  I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how they will be released, but most likely it will be a gift with purchase when buying the NASA collection.  So sick!

Edit:  The 2nd edition with the floral print will be released by Pac Sun exclusively at ComplexCon.  Great.  No chance getting that one at retail then, lol.  ComplexCon is for the culture, right?!

solscience® x Under The Palms presents: “Tropicali” ANTIDŌT™ Footwear Freshener (Available Now!)

MoonTropicali

We’ve been working in the lab with solscience for awhile now, on a custom ANTIDOT Footwear Freshener fragrance created just for us, and we’re proud to release to you all, Tropicali.  The idea was simply to develop a fragrance that represents the California lifestyle that we know and love. Think fun in the sun, weekend barbecues, cruising in your ride, and hanging with friends.  Straight West Coastin’ with the Southern California vibes!  We think you’ll be amazed at how good the fragrance smells, and you might just end up using it in your car, your room, work place, bathroom lol, etc.  Hey, it’s up to you.  Give this product a try, and let us know what you think.  We’ve already got a lot of great feedback from it, and people are really impressed at how good the fragrance is.  These guys really are chemists!  To go along with the custom labeled ANTIDOT x Under The Palms bottle, we’ve included a custom sticker as well, sporting our collaborative logo, and to launch the product, I got together with my original DJ brothers Rewind and Roial 1, who I started out spinning with back in high school a long long time ago, and we made a West Coast mixtape full of them classic bangers, as well as a few new ones, that you can stream over on my mixcloud account.  Listen for the custom “solscience, ANTIDOT, Under The Palms” drops throughout the mix.  There’s also an article that solscience wrote up about me, if you care for that sorta’ thing.  I talk about how and why I got into sneakers.  When and why I shifted to Vans.  Other ramblings and opinions that you may care or not care to know.  You know, the usual.  You can check that out from the links below as well.  Support us, and my friends Kent and Daichi, as we introduce you to something new that you never knew you needed until now!

Vans x Belkin – iPhone5 Waffle Case (coming soon!)

belkin-vans-cases-14

Sorry to be so late to the party, but it appears that Vans has been cooking up their famous Waffle iPhone case, this time for the iPhone5.  I’ve always wondered why they didn’t make them when the first iPhone5 cases came out, but that was because they wanted to do it right the second time around, enlisting Belkin, one of the few high quality electronics accessory brands in the industry.  Notice that the material looks more firm, so your phone won’t fall face-first out of the case anymore!  This case will be available in 5 colorways, which should be available soon.  There’s also a few other Vans cases that Belkin has out already, which feature some classic Vans prints on them.  Pics are available after the jump.  Stay tuned, as we will keep you posted for sure!

Quintin Co. x Offthewallsite – Trucker Hat (+ Summer 2013 Quintin Co. Preview!)

OTWSxQuintinTruckerCap

You know, when I first brought OTWS back from the dead a few years ago, I never imagined where it would be now, but I guess when you believe in something, and are passionate about it, then the authenticity naturally follows, as well as some recognition.  Recognition can come in many forms, and long-time Offthewallsite supporter, Todd Shimabuku, has always recognized us and done stuff for us, before we grew to a 1,000 hit average per day site.  That’s small peanuts, I know, compared to the mega blogs, and their insatiable thirst for readers, but what we lack in general readership, we make up for in core enthusiasts.  Vans heads know where to go, to get the most current, AND CORRECT Vans related news.  Todd, and the In4mation guys must know this, because why else would they even care to give us an ounce of their time?  Well, Todd has been busy at work, as Quintin Co.’s U.S. Sales Manager / Assistant Director, and he’s thrown us a freakin’ bone here, by generously asking the Quintin Co. guys if they could come up with something for us, and after a few logo swaps back and forth, they’ve came up with a pretty sick trucker hat with our Eagle/Anaconda “OTWS ARMY” logo, infused with their logo, and I’m delighted to share the mock-ups for y’all.

Actually, this post is more about showing some love back, and spreading the news about their Summer 2013 collection, and the trucker hat will most likely be a friends and family edition, but who knows, perhaps if we get our sh*t together this year, maybe we can do another one, that we can release to the masses!  So take some time, and check out what they got coming up for the Summer, and support a brand like Quintin Co., who make some of the most legit designs in the industry, and who collab with some of the heaviest hitters out there right now…and some small fries like us!  We’re totally blessed.  Thank you Quintin Co., and thank you Todd for being our big brother!

some words from QuintinCo:

“With the same clean lines you have come to expect from the Quintin brand. They are back with their Summer 2013 collection featuring bucket hats, button up’s, shorts and t’s. Pay attention to this brand in the future as we feel that their is a lot more up their sleeves. The line is now available at their online store as well as at Quintin stockists world wide.”
