Recapping The ASR Trade Show

Over this past weekend, we stopped in at the ASR tradeshow in San Diego to check out upcoming spring product from action sports companies like Vans, Nixon, Element, Spy, Volcom, DC Shoes, and RVCA. Interesting collaborations and premium construction mark 2009, so be sure to keep an eye out for sick product when the new year hits.

Check out some photos from the event below, including Spy’s take on Joy Division, Nixon’s take on Bell and Ross, and Vans’ take on 5boro skateboards.

Jack Black Leads Nixon’s 5th Celebrity Watch Collabo

When new brands want to make some noise, they all seem to roll out the typical celebrity-curated collaborations. But this one-way ticket to cool is nothing new to watch company Nixon, who has been dropping co-branded pieces with folks like Tony Hawk and Jennifer Lopez for five years strong.

Under the banner of the LTD Collection, Nixon fuses unique materials from celebrity belongings into the watch’s band. The base for this year’s design is Nixon’s signature model, the Rotolog. It’s unique panel-style band will serve as the canvas for colorful designs by Jack Black, Danny Way, Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx, Joy Bryant, Ringo Starr and more. Get ready to drop $350-$3,500 this August at stores like Colette and Barney’s, with all profits going towards charity. See more of the LTD Collection below.
