prAna Stretch Zion Pants – It’s tough to stay comfortable on a long hike, but prAna tries its damn best to keep you in strong spirits with their Stretch Zion Pant. Using a blend of nylon and spandex, the durable fabric is versatile and allows a free flow of movement, and has the benefit of DWR. Water beads up into droplets and wicks right off and the pants also come with its own internal waistband. For those sunny days the pants also have a roll up feature for extra ventilation, along with the occasional wade across a river.

James Jarvis for Nike SB Free – The Nike SB Free is one of the few silhouettes that I’ve grown to love from the Nike SB camp. It has a smooth shape, reliable outsole, and the big swoosh on the toebox looks right. For Spring 2015, Nike SB will release two new colorways of the SB Free adorned with the unique style of renowned British illustrator James Jarvis. Using his personal handstyle there is a black colorway, and another in white. I’m not totally sure how I feel about someone’s doodles all over my shoes, but I do appreciate the custom insoles and the pair of extra laces.

Seinfeld Action Figure – Vinyl Sugar may not have the funds to license the big dogs, but they did this first assortment of Seinfeld action figures right. Elaine, George, and Seinfeld are obviously missing, but they got episodes favorites like The Soup Nazi, Newman, J. Peterman, Puddy and Frank Costanza. The 8″ figures care caricatures of the original and Vinyl Sugar has done a wonderful job of capturing the antics. Just look at Puddy in his famous “8-Ball” leather jacket, and Frank Constanza with the famous Fesitivus pole.

Air Jordan Hare 1 – Even before Robert Kelly sang I single note of “I Believe I Can Fly,” the greatest shooting guard in NBA history had already worked with the famous rascally rabbit. For the release of the Jordan 7 Michael Jordan brought Bugs Bunny into the fray, and now the famous bunny gets his own edition of the classic Air Jordan 1. Doubled the Hare Jordan, the colors are simply white and red, but the tongue is neoprene and reminiscent of the funky design from the Jordan 7. Look for the Hare 1 to drop this Saturday, April 25.
