Burton X Red Wing

Via Burton

BURLINGTON, VT (October 24, 2011) Burton Snowboards and Red Wing Heritage have teamed up this winter to create the Rover Limited snowboard boot, now available in Burton Flagship stores and select local snowboard dealers around the globe.

The Rover Limited snowboard boot combines Red Wing’s traditional style and durability with Burton’s expertise in performance and comfort, and is the first collaboration between the two brands. Inspired by Red Wing’s incredibly popular and traditional sport boot, the 877, the Rover Limited features Red Wing’s signature full grain leather and traditional yellow lacing. The boot’s premium package also includes strategic support and cushioning, and snow-proof gussets for hiking (or shoveling out the truck).
Burton’s own team rider, Jeremy Jones had a hand in the collaboration as he has always been a fan of Red Wing’s classic style. “I am very stoked to see this boot come to life,” stated Jeremy. “I look forward to shredding in them all season long.”

The Rover Limited boot is available now at Burton Flagship stores and select retailers.

Established in 1993 as an expansion team of the Major League Baseball, the Florida Marlins, winners of two world series (1997 and 2003), have been renamed the Miami Marlins and will be moving into a fancy new stadium at the start of the 2012 season. Miami Marlins’ management had a hard time keeping the name, logo, and uniform change under wraps, with the logo being leaked as early as September and, stealing the thunder from a webcast conference unveiling the new look, a picture of the uniforms and a ticket brochure surfaced earlier in the week. This past Friday, the official unveiling took place at their new stadium.

To say I am a fan of Christian Helms, is a major understatement. Here is a great interview with him he did for Method and Craft. If you dont know who he is, you're losing it, go check his work out now!

"Tell us about your background. Where are you from and how did you get started? Have you always worked independently?

I grew up in a small mill town in North Carolina called Bessemer City. I went to college at UNC Chapel Hill, where I earned a degree in journalism before “finding design” and studying at Portfolio Center in Atlanta. From there I went to intern for Michael Bierut at Pentagram in New York. I was up there for about a year but it just wasn’t the right it for me. My southern roots were a little stronger than I liked to admit at the time.

Around then John Bielenberg was starting Project M, which sounded to me like it could be an amazing and defining experience for a young designer. It was. And it let me leave NY without feeling like I was turning my back on all of the great opportunity up there. After M wrapped up I wanted to go somewhere that felt like a better match with my interests, and Austin seemed like a perfect fit. Again, it was.

I moved here in 2003 and worked a year at McGarrah-Jessee before starting my first studio, The Decoder Ring. That eventually ran its course and I transitioned to running a shop focused on larger design work and brand building, Helms Workshop.

Oh, and somewhere in there my Decoder partner Geoff and I started a hot dog joint called Frank.

Seems like it didn’t take too long for you to make the decision to strike out on your own. Was that something you had your sights on from the beginning or did that evolve over time?

I moved to town with a lofty and probably slightly naïve five and ten-year plan. It’s something I’d always hoped to do eventually, but the opportunity arose a lot earlier than I’d imagined it would be a possibility. I talked about it a lot with James Victore, who’s a good friend and mentor. He gave me a lot of encouragement." Read the full interview HERE

Scott Wise is a designer/developer from Toronto, Canada and he seems like he gets bored pretty easily. Why is that? Because he’s got not one but two portfolios, a business side and an artsy side. I’m focusing more on his artsy side, one project in particular called Feathers: A Study of Form and Habitat. It’s a simple but beautifully executed idea. He made simple shapes of birds, vaguely inspired by Charley Harper, and filled them with a natural texture, giving the birds the feeling of life and movement. Not too fancy, but still really enjoyable to look at. Be sure to take a peak at the rest of his portfolio as well, he’s got some really great ideas.
