Crafted by the hands of the Miami-based artist known at blattke, these wooden sumo are individually produced, meaning no two figures are the same. The boxes the figures come in are also handmade, and all of the wood used is renewable organic material, meaning they’re very eco-friendly figures. Mimushi Designs is only able to make 80 of these a month, and only 119 are being made for the first series called Dauntless Gatekeepers. They’re already on the next series, so if you want to pick one of the remaining wooden toys up from Dauntless Gatekeepers, head on over to their shop and check what’s left out. Prices range from approximately US$225 to $375.

The thermo-adaptive leather Jason Jessee x Vans Syndicate Sk8-Hi pack has arrived at KCDC. These buttery joints will probably not last through the weekend and are gonna be essential once the temperature drops so you might want to hit them up soon.

The record label that released his raunchy comedy albums was also home to Nirvana and some say the grunge sound itself. Sub Pop made its living off of anti-corporate acts with major punk influences, so it’s certainly ironic to see the latest Nike SB Blazer Elite (style# 334106-711) with their logo all over it. These are bright yellow and black, hard to miss and they’re available on eBay and also can be pre-order with our friend Crazyforsneaker.

The fabled Los Angeles quartet Bigelf, is currently on a Progressive Nation Tour for “Cheat the Gallows,” the band’s debut release for Linda Perry’s Custard Records. The epic album is the soundtrack for new world disorder. We’re talking about a pop-cultural phenomenon shaped by the muse of Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Queen and The Beatles.
