As it may take some time for word to spread that AGoodReed can now be bought, we will …

Ain’t nothing we enjoy more that a hot stack of libel to start our day. If you have yet to check out the new Holden website, do so now. Good stuff. Real slick design. Cool movies. Snappy looking line. Ambient music. Blog. Those Holden folks do it right, and the kids are all about it.
But will the snowboard kids still be digging the fashionable outerwear after they see Holden in Freeskier Magazine’s 2009 Buyer’s Guide? Oh no!

But wait: there’s more! Holden is also adding skiers to its team. Dang. This …

686 founder and creative director Michael Akira West has been getting wild lately. Collabs and limited edition runs for dayz. West’s most recent project, “In My Eyes,” has us particularly excited. For Installation 1, West enlisted the help of artist Nathan Sayawa to recreate 686’s Smarty Complete 2.5 Ply jacket with Legos.

Also in the Installation, 686 created their Smarty Admiral womens jacket out of International Code Flags—the flags that are used to signal between ships.

And on a sidenote…We couldn’t agree with our boy Prodigy more: blogger’s = street as all getout. Recognize:

“P.S. ANYBODY THAT GOT SOMETHING AGAINST KEEPING A BLOG, YOU SHOULD STAY FARRRRRR AWAY FROM THE FOOL AND NEVER TRUST EM’. A BLOG IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY, JUST LIKE RAP MUSIC ISN’T FOR EVERYBODY. A BLOG IS INTERNET SLANG FOR A LOG AND …

agoodreed was on the slopes yesterday. As much as we have enjoyed the phenomenal winter thus far, it was refreshing to get some ol’ PNW peanut butter aka Cascade concrete.
