On my desk: Vans OTW Larkin and Alomar

December 26, 2010

I got quite the package a few days ago from the kind folks at Vans. My friend Rickey Kim, who has played a huge inspiration for me, is currently the voice behind the Vans OTW {Off the Wall} Collection. Relatively new, the OTW range finds it way to close the gap between lifestyle and skateboarding by taking a design-forward approach. The aesthetic is modern without straying too far away from the core values of skateboarding that Vans has been synonymous with. Unlike the rest of the Vans collections, the Off the Wall advocates are, photographers, illustrators and designers.

Within the package was a pair of their slim-profile, low-cut Larkins and a pair of chukka-inspired Alomars. These are my first pairs of OTW’s and so far, the Larkins have been my daily walkers. Super comfortable and pretty much feel broken-in right out of the box. Not a bad way to start off the new year. Thanks Rickey!

Visit Vans OTW to read more about the collection and the stories shared by their advocates.

Hello Mr Zip. It worked!

December 26, 2010

In 1963, the US Postal Service implemented the Zonal Improvement Plan to help increase transit efficiency. The plan encouraged mailers to include the assigned zip code of a parcel’s destination—which for many users, it became an inconvenience. To help spread awareness of the new plan, the Postal Service enlisted Mr. Zip as its animated spokesperson. Here we are, 48 years later, and we’re all including zip codes on our mail. Mr. Zip FTW.
